Having a floating @relog widget above my fish tank that shows when I last fed my fish has been a pipe dream of mine since VisionOS was announced.

Today, I was able to accomplish just that with zero work on my end, thanks to Vision 26 supporting widgets 👀

The metro UI was a forced major interface change that was terrible experience on Windows (8). It was put in place to bootstrap a mobile app ecosystem for Windows Phone at the expense of Widows (desktop) users.

What #Apple is doing is more benign, mostly altering the appearance in a fairly minor way (afaik). However, they are doing it so that apps designed for #iOS and #macOS default to being compatible with #visionOS with little to no extra effort by app developers. That is, bootstrapping the ecosystem on that platform. That’s the similarity to Metro.

The question is how much of a setback in usability and appearance will this be for iOS and macOS users for the benefit of this goal. We’ve already seen a big regression in Mac apps for iOS convergence. And what happens if #VisionPro continues to flop and we all forget about it, but we’re stuck with its design language?

Same poll but for #WWDC.

Time dedicated to #VisionPro / #visionOS at the upcoming #Apple event?

Since we’re supposedly getting a visionOS-inspired UI in all the other OSs, we’re not going to count mentions in that context. ioc.exchange/@shac/11302958348

There's a rumour that #Apple is changing the #iOS naming scheme and will 'skip' iOS 19, and name it by year instead i.e. iOS 26.

It's funny that people's reaction to this is saying that this is the same naming convention car makers use for their cars - when my immediate reaction is, ah, it's that #Ubuntu naming scheme which I used to find weird, but is clearly increasing in popularity nowadays lol.

Anyway, this naming scheme makes sense esp considering how Apple just has a fuck ton of OS-es under their belt lol including #iPadOS, #watchOS, and #visionOS. Anyway, can't wait for the #macOS 26.09 LTS release! ​:neofox_boop_woozy:​

Even as a long-time Apple customer & fan, I think The Macalope makes a very good point: “Honestly, it might actually be better if … all the headwinds affecting the company right now really did present an imminent danger to the company. Because if Apple were in more trouble than it currently is, maybe it’d listen more.”

Apple is doomed because Apple isn't doomed - Macworld apple.news/ASp560Y1ATkSCwQlpMY

apple.newsApple is doomed because Apple isn't doomed — MacworldMaybe being too big to fail isn't a good thing. Contributor, Macworld | MAY 13, 2025 3:30 am PDT It’s time for Schrödinger’s Apple doom, where the company is not “doomed” but ehhhhh sorta a little doomed? Writing for The Houston Chronicle, Dwight Silverman wants to have his anti-Apple doom headline and eat his Apple doom cake, too: “Apple isn’t doomed, but it should change its ways amid mounting pressure” (Tip o’ the antlers to Glenn Fleishman.) This is a rare instance in which the title
