iOS Dev Weekly – The perfect iOS growth hyperlinks, each Friday

Nicely, they did it!

This can be a calibration second. Take your self again to a 12 months 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 seem like a pair of spectacles? Perhaps with a thicker body and stems or another intelligent technique to disguise 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 couple of extra years to work on it as a result of that type of miniaturisation doesn’t exist at present.

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 totally thought-out software program story that screams, “AR remains to be our finish objective!” 👓

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 concept how far Apple was alongside the trail to one thing that does every thing this headset does within the kind issue of a pair of spectacles. Now we all know precisely how far alongside they’re.

As with yearly’s post-WWDC situation of this text, I received’t attempt to cowl every thing from the convention. We now have the entire summer time to digest every 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.
