also:

  • headset looks cool but very expensive, clearly a dev and early adopter kit
    • they didn't really show any games for it, which kinda makes sense, that'll probably be for next year. wonder what the "moving through a virtual space" situation will be, if any
    • so glad Apple have finally given the world a good name in Spatial Computing
      • fuck XR all my homies hate XR
  • new Mac Pro! they fucking did it!
  • no new 12-inch MacBook, boo
  • really good watchOS update
  • decent macOS update
  • good iPadOS update
  • fuck I need to update @Watch for all the new platforms' widgets don't I
  • the Apple Manual of Style still says Machine Learning and I am glad they haven't succumbed to the trends of the area


the writing seems to be on the wall for iOS only allowing WebKit-based browser rendering, with both Google and Mozilla publicly committing work on iOS versions of their respective engines

I would not be at all surprised if they have some NDA'd info about this from Apple about a policy change scheduled for later this year, where Apple want to be able to show off the other browsers on stage or something, so the work starts now

on one hand it's good that they're seemingly going to be dropping the de facto monopoly, browsers are broadly healthier when there are more of them

but on the other hand it feels like this rule was perhaps the last thing holding back a bunch of mobile web sites just saying "please use Chrome instead of your yucky choice of browser" just as so many desktop sites do already 🙃
