Macworld If there’s one Apple product we’re counting on showing up at WWDC, it’s the 15-inch MacBook Air.

Apple’s Live Activities and always-on display are a showcase for what our phones could be. | Photo by Allison Johnson / The Verge The always-on display, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island tease a frictionless future where we spend less time in apps. Listening to a baseball game on the radio while following the score on your phone can make you feel a little bit like a psychic.
