We build robotic arms from rigid links and central controllers. The elephant and the octopus build theirs from soft tissue and distributed intelligence. One approach has been working for fifty million years. The other keeps failing in unstructured environments.
After fifteen years and a run that made Apple the most valuable company in human history, Tim Cook said goodbye the only way he knows how: quietly, on stage, in front of the people who build things. A look at what WWDC 2026 announced, and what it meant.
