What happened

Hello, this is Hui Jie writing to you from Singapore.

Why it matters

Welcome to another edition of CNBC's Daily Open.

Common ground

Tim Cook teared up as he attended his last Worldwide Developers Conference as CEO, while Apple did what appears to be the fashionable thing these days — slapped an AI label on Siri.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
