PSA for anyone annoyed by iOS 26.4 burying app updates a level deeper in the App Store: A long press on the App Store’s icon gets you a shortcut there.

We can keep updating manually like the sickos we are. John Gruber gets it:

"I update apps manually, because I like reading release notes from developers who take the time to document changes, and I also like reading “Bug fixes and performance improvements” over and over and over again from developers who do not."

Today marks 25 years since Apple launched Mac OS X.
Mac OS X is 24 today
We published something useful for visionOS developers every single day of 2025. If your find Step Into Vision helpful then please show us some love. Share this post and support our work if you can.

✈️ If you've been curious about this 3D modeling tool, and just want to check it out yourself, I have pushed a build to TestFlight for iOS, macOS, and visionOS.

It's not a product, it doesn't have a name, it has many obvious bugs and issues that haven't had a polish pass, and it doesn't save anything to disk. It may never be something I finish; it's just a snapshot in time of the development, to play with

An excerpt from episode 1 of the new Step Into Vision Podcast. I take a moment to introduce Mike, Jimmy, and Paolo. I'm so grateful to be building with these three and to count them as friends. Get the full episode on Apple Podcasts

What’s the difference between the many device types supported by Android XR? Over the last year Google have been presenting different groups of device types, from AI smartglasses to spatial computing headsets. But I haven’t found an overview of all the device types together, and what the key differences are. We want to be able to easily communicate these differences to our clients, so we’ve made a one pager that hopefully shows them all :-)
