I just watched the WWDC video you were talking about, had an hour in the gym 
with nothing better to do. That video of course uses different terminology from 
everything else I’ve seen before, however if you watch the piece where they 
first talk about prepareForSegue and listen carefully to what’s being said and 
how it’s being compared to iOS, I’m pretty sure that they are only talking 
about *presentation* segues, not the ones at the top of the slide which they 
call *containment* segues. 

later in the talk they first talk about their containment stuff, like splitview 
etc, and they don’t mention any prepareForSegue on that, then they talk about 
“Triggered” segues, and those are the ones which have identifiers and which use 
prepareForSegue. Those are the popover, modal etc etc. segues. 

Just to make things a little more complicated, there is such a thing as a 
Container View Controller (you can drag it out of the well and dump it on a 
storyboard), that has an Embed segue which does have settable name and does 
call prepareForSegue. So if you write your own containers, you get the call, I 
have. 

So from all that I deduce that what in that video is called ‘containment’ 
actually appears on storyboards called ‘relationships’ and are segues in 
name-only, they don’t trigger prepareFromSegue, you can’t name them, they are 
lines on the storyboard. The segues which are real, and cause actions and can 
be hooked into are the triggered segues which cause popups and modal windows 
etc. Those you can name, those you get the callback for.
