iOS Dev Weekly – One of the best iOS improvement hyperlinks, each Friday

Properly, they did it!

It is a calibration second. Take your self again to a yr in the past, earlier than all of the rumours of particular {hardware}. What number of of you anticipated Apple’s first entry on this product class to appear like a pair of spectacles? Perhaps with a thicker body and stems or another intelligent technique to conceal the {hardware}, however a tool that extra intently resembled glasses than a headset. That made sense to me, too, however provided that Apple had a number of extra years to work on it as a result of that form of miniaturisation doesn’t exist in the present day.

After all, I don’t want to inform any of you what Apple confirmed us within the keynote and all of the visionOS periods launched this week. It’s the VR/MR headset {hardware}, precisely as rumoured, however with a completely thought-out software program story that screams, “AR remains to be our finish purpose!” 👓

That’s the place the “calibration second” I discussed above is available in. Earlier than we had eyes on the Imaginative and prescient Professional {hardware}, we had no thought how far Apple was alongside the trail to one thing that does every little thing this headset does within the type issue of a pair of spectacles. Now we all know precisely how far alongside they’re.

As with yearly’s post-WWDC problem of this text, I gained’t attempt to cowl every little thing from the convention. We’ve the entire summer time to digest every little thing and even longer for all of the visionOS issues! As with each week, that is merely a set of hyperlinks that caught my eye.
