IDK why I was thinking about Vision Pro but my take is it could have lifted off much more if the chip were replacable. I imagine not many people like to be stuck with an M2 when M5s hit the market. The rest is solid.

I am under the impression that Dye doesn’t think and Federighi doesn’t care

Silly thing I noticed about Liquid Glass. Pay attention to the dynamic specular highlights in Home Screen icons, move your phone around until you notice the highlight change position. Then, cover the ambient light sensor with your thumb for a few seconds. The highlights will fade out, because they react to physical ambient light, not just device motion. Tested on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The Lock Screen time also shows this effect.

@marioguzman that video opened a whole new Swiftverse for me

i know this is nitpicky potatoes but this interaction between the macOS Tahoe Finder’s sidebar and status bar is truly wild.

it’s an extremely hard problem to solve! when you suddenly “float” a thing that has to sit directly next to lots of weird things

Video of all recent macOS naming transitions. I somehow never realized that they are all interconnected 🤯https://youtu.be/7VuV59JnB3c

@teomatteo89 Nice app! Hoping to have it read time in daylight from HeathKit in a future version

reminder that I have 20+ years of data experience and I'm looking for some kind of Data Scientist/Analyst/Analytics Engineering gig, remote in the US (I'm in Portland, OR)

I would like to be doing something that makes the world a bit better, and every one has data, so it seems like that should be possible.

It seems like back buttons in iOS 26 are *always* just the left (back) chevron, they never have a label for *where* they go back to as back buttons have had since iOS 1.

(Tested in Settings and some other apps so far)

That seems like huge usability degradation and I don’t like it at all. Having the back button tell you what the previous screen is was a huge help in letting you know where you are in an app.

@arroz @dasdom Love this thread. Helped me open my eyes against my own bias against SwiftUI.
The real issue is that the new Behaviors tab obviously has one more layer of organization and we're comparing two screenshots that are apples and oranges

So far "Embracing Swift Concurrency" feels like the most important WWDC 26 video to watch, for any and all levels of devs. The concepts couldn't have been communicated more clearly. Absolute stellar job

And I get that putting on WWDC is a huge effort that everyone at Apple is happy to have in the rear view mirror.

(Sleep! Vacation!)

With the online format, there's no need to have sessions and labs happen contemporaneously.

What if labs happened a month after the sessions were posted?

I think we'd all benefit.

@nico42 … yet!

RIP WTFAutoLayout.com (2016–2025)

A beloved tool for deciphering iOS constraint errors, WTF Auto Layout turned cryptic logs into visual clarity. Trusted by thousands, it made Auto Layout suck less.

Design videos seem to be calling navigation bars "toolbars". SwiftUI has infiltrated everywhere

@icanzilb What are we looking at? The photo is amazing btw

Screw these guys who mailed me. And screw any app devs who pay for this kind of service.

@mackuba absolutely not
