Few thoughts:
1) Like Daniel himself said, “Apple has iOS”. It’s their platform. They get to choose what to do with it.
2) Some of the sound bites in this video are not framed truthfully. “We’re not allowed to tell you about our great offers and promotions” is not true. What
The
@EU_Commission
finally ruled against Apple today. A lot of you have been asking for my take on what this means and what will – and won’t – change. I made a video with my thoughts including why this is a good first step, but also why there’s still more to be done.

Any ideas how to build this pull-to-search in SwiftUI?
Last thing I’m struggling with is how to know when the user “lets go”, to make the search active. Anything in ScrollView that could notify me when they lift their finger?

Just my personal opinion. I love the product. Love the design. But the value this would bring does not match the cost.

Hate to say it, but after full day of fairly heavy usage with the Vision Pro (though nothing more than I would typically do in front of a monitor), I definitely have a headache 😵💫

Steve Jobs inspired me to become a developer. I was 10 when the iPhone came out, and I watched that and every keynote after that on our family iMac.
Steve opened my mind and inspired me to build insanely great technology. 🙏

Just tried the Dual Loop band for the first time after only using Solo Knit. And it's even more comfortable.
Coded 3 hours in Solo Knit without problems, but Dual Loop should allow work for even longer.
I just spent almost 3 hours coding in Vision Pro. No discomfort, no fatigue… just pure bliss
