Apple makes a lot of #iPhone apps – more than 2 home screens' worth now! I spent way too long laying them out like this, and this isn't all of them…

These icons have (all?) been updated in the first developer beta of #ios26

Which are your favourites?

…and which of these new icons should they revisit?

#appicons #icons #apple #appledeveloper #wwdc25

Nicely customisable widgets on #VisionPro that stay wherever you put them in your space — even after a restart — will actually make me want to use them! How ‘bout that?!

Seriously, always needing to reposition windows in #VisionOS up to now has been unnecessarily tedious for a #spatial OS 🥱

Progress! 👏

#wwdc25 #visionOS26

The updated #spatial personas in #visionOS26 are looking 🔥 too…

#VisionPro #wwdc25

I really hope support for #Sony’s #PSVR2 controllers will give gaming a positive boost on #VisionOS and that it’s not “too little, too late” — gimme Beat Saber and other great movement games on the #VisionPro’s displays with #SpatialAudio 🎶 ⚔️ 🙏

Other features mentioned in this bento box summary slide that weren’t talked about during the short (8-minute) #visionOS26 presentation:

+ 90Hz hand tracking
+ “Look to Scroll”
+ Game Controller breakthrough
+ Create folders in Home view

#wwdc25 #AppleEvent #VisionPro #visionOS

Some great improvements coming in #visionOS26 including…

+ spatial web browsing;
+ support for PSVR2 controllers;
+ native playback of 180 and 360 videos from #gopro #insta360 & #canon cameras;
+ apps and (new) widgets remembering where you put them, “every time you put on Vision Pro, even if you restart”! 🥰

Jumped back on the #100daysOfSwiftUI train 🚅 and completed day 36, a simple expenses app.

Getting back to it after a few months away took some considerable mental effort. Couldn't remember a lot of the specifics of what went before, but there was plenty of residual memory of concepts intact in my brain 🧠 which made it easier than I expected!

Glad I’d been taking copious notes throughout, and thankful the site's search is super useful! https://www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/36

[1/?] Wow… 🫨 What did I just witness!? Absolutely the BEST film of a live gig ever, that's what.

Genuinely got choked up at some of these scenes, and only because I know (if only the tiniest bit, to be clear) what it's like to play in front of a live audience. Goosebumps throughout.

If all live concerts could be like this in future, SIGN. ME. UP! 🤘🎸🥁👏

Diving straight back in for a rewatch! More thoughts to follow… 🧵

This is exactly what a lot of people are hoping for… “the infinite Santiago Bernabéu” enabled by #AppleVisionPro would be very cool 😎 (screenshot with English translation also attached). #ImmersiveSports #ImmersiveExperience #VisionPro #ImmersiveVideo https://social.macg.co/@macgeneration/113559774756758106
