Gone was the old device-by-device structure. Instead, Apple went big on ecosystem-wide themes — and that set the tone for a keynote that was more about refinement than revelation.Here's what we got into:Liquid Glass, but make it choices.

Craig Federighi took a very careful seat with a panel of journalists to explain that Apple isn't using Google's app, Google's infrastructure, Google's models, or Google's search. The amount of Google Assistant they use is, quote, \"none.\" (Sure, Craig.) Chris's read: Apple took a stripped-down, whitelisted version of Gemini and parked it on their Private Cloud servers.
