An open letter to Craig Federighi makes a playful plea ahead of WWDC, asking Apple's software chief to deliver meaningful updates beyond the expected AI push. The piece humorously addresses Federighi directly rather than CEO Tim Cook, calling him the face of Apple's developer conference and the company's unofficial 'WWDC Santa.'

The letter focuses heavily on Siri's long-awaited revamp, noting that Apple promised major improvements two years ago but has only delivered delays and management changes. Readers are still limited to simple queries, training themselves to work around Siri's limitations rather than the assistant understanding natural language. The author wants Siri to reach half the capability of ChatGPT's contextual responses.

Beyond Siri, the article calls for genuine on-device AI processing instead of remote solutions, plus a non-AI feature reveal that would give families something concrete to discuss. The piece references last year's Liquid Glass design and mentions rumors about Google Gemini integration and third-party AI adoption in Apple's operating systems.

The underlying message reflects broader developer and consumer fatigue with AI announcements that lack practical application. Federighi faces pressure to balance stability improvements with innovations that justify the hype, especially as hardware constraints like MacBook pricing concerns loom over the ecosystem.
