The Wreck is filed under games, but it’s also been called a visual novel, an interactive experience, and a playable movie.

Maurin is the co-writer, designer, and producer of The Wreck — and here we’ll let you decide what to call it.

Swift at Apple: migrating the Password Monitoring service from Java June 2, 2025Swift is heavily used in production for building cloud services at Apple, with incredible results.

Last year, the Password Monitoring service was rewritten in Swift, handling multiple billions of requests per day from devices all over the world.

A detailed discussion of how this is done using the cryptographic private set intersection protocol is in the Password Monitoring section of the Apple Platform Security guide.

The migration from Java to Swift was motivated by a need to scale the Password Monitoring service in a performant way.

The Password Monitoring service runs globally, so service load can greatly flu…

FOSDEM highlighted a range of Swift-related talks related to memory safety, a broad ecosystem around Swift including using it to develop web services and embedded projects, and new areas of the project including Java interoperability.

To learn more about memory in safety in Swift, see the Swift documentation page on memory safety,as well as a features vision document on memory safety.

Swift 6.1 Released March 31, 2025Swift 6.1 is now available!

id } }Swift 6.1 also improves type inference for task groups by inferring the child task result type of withTaskGroup and withThrowingTaskGroup .

Install Swift 6.1You can try out these exciting new developments in Swift 6.1 today!

If you’re building apps for Apple platforms, Swift 6.1 is included in Xcode 16.3, now available from the App Store.

And the easiest way to install the standalone Swift 6.1 toolchain is using swiftly, the new Swift version manager that runs on macOS and Linux.

Introducing swiftly 1.0 March 28, 2025Today we’re delighted to introduce the first stable release of swiftly, a Swift version manager that takes the pain out of installing, managing and updating your Swift toolchain.

They can be easily listed using swiftly:$ swiftly list-available main-snapshot -- Available main development snapshot toolchains ---------------------------------------------- main-snapshot-2025-03-25 ...Once you’ve identified a snapshot toolchain, it can be installed using its name:$ swiftly install main-snapshot-2025-03-25 -- Installing main-snapshot-2025-03-25Another way to temporarily use a specific version of Swift is to use the special ‘+’ selector.

This extends to our server back end, and after a rewrite our Things Cloud service has transitioned entirely to Swift.

Things Cloud serves as the backbone of the app’s experience, silently synchronizing to-dos across devices.

After twelve years in production, Things Cloud has earned our users’ trust in its reliability.

Switching to SwiftOur legacy Things Cloud service was built on Python 2 and Google App Engine.

A full rewrite is usually a last resort, but in our case, it was the only viable path for Things Cloud.

Introducing gRPC Swift 2 February 14, 2025Say hello to gRPC Swift 2: a major update that brings first-class concurrency support and more expressive APIs for a seamless developer experience.

And the new gRPC Swift 2 offers an idiomatic, cross-platform, performant and feature-rich library for building highly-scalable services.

When gRPC Swift was first developed back in 2018, Swift had not yet introduced concurrency features like async/await, so it was instead based on SwiftNIO’s event-driven concurrency model.

For developers unfamiliar with these concepts, the prior version of gRPC Swift presented a steep learning curve.

Next StepsTo get started with gRPC Swift 2 check out the tutorials and …

Updating the Visual Studio Code extension for Swift February 10, 2025Today, we are excited to announce a new version of the Swift extension for Visual Studio Code – now published to the extension marketplace as an official supported release of the Swift team.

The aim of this extension is to provide a high-quality, feature-complete extension that makes developing Swift applications on all platforms a seamless experience.

As we continue to invest in Swift as a first-class language for cross-platform development, both Apple and the broader developer community are rapidly iterating on the VS Code extension to expand its capabilities for server and cloud, embedded, and Linux and Windows app deve…

As a foundational step in this new chapter of Swift build technologies, today Apple is open sourcing Swift Build, a powerful and extensible build engine that provides a set of build rules for building Swift projects.

Swift Build is an infrastructural component designed to plan and execute builds requested by a higher-level client like Swift Package Manager or Xcode.

As a small first step towards this vision, today the team is submitting a pull request to begin the process of integrating support for Swift Build in SwiftPM as an alternate build engine.

An invitation to participateWe look forward to working with the community to continue evolving how we build Swift code.

Inserting 100,000 records into SwiftData and then displaying them. It took around 5-7 seconds to insert 100k records. Next time the app is run and since records were already in the database, it took around 2 seconds to display all records. Scrolling was nice and smooth, even with 100K records. PS: This is just for research. You should use FetchDescriptor fetchLimit property to only fetch the records needed to be displayed on the screen. I am using Xcode 26 Beta 3. I think you can get the same result on Xcode 16.

Hey everyone, I’m an iOS developer working on ProdBuild, a new app that helps you monitor your Xcode Cloud builds right from your phone. I didn’t originally plan for this to be a product — I was just solving my own annoyance of constantly flipping between Xcode, the browser, and email to see what my builds were doing. Personally, I think this functionality should all exist in the Connect app by Apple - but sadly it doesn't. Once I got it working, I realized others might find it useful too, so I decided to polish it up - and open it up for public TestFlight testing.

I am getting around 8k impressions monthly with about 250-300 downloads(mostly US) per month but not making any money.. My guess is that app screenshots are terrible along with app itself..

Hey guys, So I have been facing issue with appstore rejection for keeping external links for digital content in the app in the. The app is like spotify. Now I am thinking of two sneaky ways: - Hide the CTA and update it via OTA after approval - I will send an email when the user is trying to download a song Should I do it? Will the app get removed in the future for this? Any better way you can suggest? submitted by /u/Worldly_Yellow_6115 [link] [comments]

Just launched the app two days ago, but it seems like Apple no longer boosts newly launched apps on the US App Store. The app doesn’t even rank when searched by its exact name, even though it shows up in the search suggestions. The app was ready a while ago, but I held off on launching because it’s off season. I eventually decided to go ahead with it but now I wish I had launched earlier. It sucks not getting that initial boost from the App Store. Another issue, I’ve been actively trying to market the app on TikTok, but US users can’t even find it, even when they search using the exact name. So it’s like I’m spending hours creating TikTok content, only to help my competitors lol! people go …

Issue 716 27th June 2025 Written by Dave VerwerSeveral people have asked for my opinion on Apple’s coding assistant feature in the Xcode 26 beta.

After using Claude Code, I can say that agents are a huge step forward over the previous generation of tools.

As a command line tool, Claude Code fits this approach especially well as you don’t even need to change your editor or IDE.

Instabug benchmarks GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and SmartResolve to reveal surprising platform-specific strengths.

And finally...What does the Xcode “coding assistant” prompt look like?

Issue 715 20th June 2025 Written by Dave VerwerYou might have missed it in the run up to WWDC, but I want to highlight a recent article on the official Swift blog titled “Swift at Apple: Migrating the Password Monitoring service”.

This recent blog post changes that and gives details of Apple’s use of Swift and Vapor in production apps used by more than a billion people.

Even better, it’s written down, public, and in an easily linkable blog post format.

It’s the best way to build apps for Apple platforms, and maybe to write a small web app with, but that’s the end of the story.

I hope we can see this and other success stories make their way off the Swift blog and into a more permanent home o…

Issue 714 13th June 2025 Written by Dave VerwerDid you have a good WWDC week?

As always, I won’t try to sum up the entirety of this week’s announcements in today’s issue.

So far, all we’ve seen is the stock Apple apps, some demo apps, and sample code.

What we’ve seen so far is supposed to guide our decisions as we design and ship our ‘26 platform releases.

For example, “Track Sleep Patterns” is a very active caption and gives you “track sleep”, “sleep patterns”, and “track sleep patterns”, keywords people are looking for.

Issue 713 6th June 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIt’s almost WWDC time!

With RevenueCat Paywalls you can remotely configure and edit your entire paywall view without waiting on App Review.

I haven’t submitted anything for App Review in years, but I receive plenty of email from people who have bad experiences.

I also receive too many emails where bad app review experiences caused someone to give up on the App Store and move to another platform.

It’s also worth reading Sarah Reichelt’s latest post on App Review, which has a similar theme.

His challenge app is Neura, designed to teach ML concepts, and he wants to inspire others to find the same passion for changing the world through creating apps.

Her challenge app is EvacuMate, which helps users prepare emergency checklists, store vital documents, and access real-time resources during disasters.

Before I wrap this up, just a quick note to say that there will be no iOS Dev Weekly for the next two weeks.

– Tamera MiddlebrooksI would argue the greatest barrier of entry for native iOS app development at this stage is the cost of a Mac.

Personally, when I first started my app development journey, I bought an old refurbished M2 Mac Mini.

Issue 711 9th May 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIn exactly one month, Apple will unveil what they’ve been working on for the past year.

The main community attractions, CommunityKit and One More Thing, have both recently posted their schedules, which is great to see.

It’s likely that Apple is experimenting with this (as I hoped), but I’d always urge against getting your hopes too high.

Regardless, I enjoyed Manu’s latest article that tries to keep your sheet presentation code nice and clean.

👍And finally...As an alternative to this, you could just put your phone in your pocket for a bit… 😮‍💨

Issue 710 2nd May 2025 Written by Dave VerwerWas there any news yesterday?

I’m sure you’ve read every hot take over the past 24 hours and I have very little² to add about the news itself.

What I’m sure of, though, is that this decision will trigger a more significant change to the App Store.

Apple built its App Store business around its current business model, and if developers can bypass it without much jumping through hoops, Apple will likely make changes.

We should want the App Store to be successful for Apple as well as for ourselves.

Issue 709 25th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI knew I’d enjoy Collin Donnell’s recent post, “Loving SwiftUI, missing UIKit” from the title, and I did.

After the Swift announcement, I wondered what the cost of the new language to iOS and other Apple platform development would be.

I’ve linked to Kishikawa Katsumi’s Swift Regex project before, but it gets another mention this week as he added a regex debugger to it!

This is a well-written, step-by-step look at all the different issues making this situation compatible with Swift 6 language mode.

VideosI missed these videos from the wonderful iOS Conf SG conference that took place a few months ago.

Issue 708 18th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerEvery time I read my RSS feeds and see an article about top App Store earnings, a little part of me dies.

I know it’s not the worst problem in the world right now, but it’s not great how the App Store turned out all these years after it debuted.

That said, it’s not the entire App Store and it reminds me to be grateful for all of you who are creating useful and worthwhile software that doesn’t exploit people’s addictive tendencies.

This article from Donny Wals has some great, practical tips on using Instruments with SwiftUI.

This is a great article.

Issue 707 11th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerThis week, there wasn’t much to write about in Apple platform or Swift development, but I noticed an interesting article celebrating 20 years of Git from GitHub founder Scott Chacon.

The standard was Subversion and the competitors were Git, Bazaar, and Mercurial.

Bazaar started on the 26th March 2005, Git was 12 days later on the 7th April, and Mercurial started exactly 12 days after that on the 19th April.

So, I spent time converting all my repositories from Subversion to Bazaar, thinking I could ignore Git.

Bazaar was under active development for 11 years and Mercurial is still under active development today, but Git was the clear winner.

Issue 706 4th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerRecently, there’s been a lot of talk about Apple and AI.

People are wondering where Swift Assist is and speculating endlessly on what caused the next generation Siri product to be delayed into 2026.

However, I have thoughts on Predictive Code Completion and Swift Assist in Xcode.

When I first wrote about Xcode’s Predictive Code Completion, I was complimentary about it.

I can’t wait to see what Apple delivers with Swift Assist and how they continue to improve Predictive Code Completion.

Issue 705 28th March 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIt’s that time of year again!

🎉If you apply and get a ticket, don’t forget WWDC week has grown back to being much more than just Apple’s event.

First up, a new event, CommunityKit, which looks like it’s a successor to the highly popular WWDC Community events that have been running since the early days of WWDC going remote.

In the past, the WWDC community website also covered worldwide events like keynote watch parties and community get-togethers.

He argues that as the time needed to create apps decreases, the process and time taken with everything after building the app looks more daunting.

Issue 704 21st March 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI received a suggestion earlier this week from Kyle Bashour to check out his latest package, AestheticText.

But it also set me thinking about how I think about choosing a package that includes a UI component.

I don’t take quite that position, but I certainly spend more time considering whether to use a UI component than something without those imports.

Tornike Gomareli has written up this useful article on getting it working with Swift using xcode-build-server and LSP.

Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported that Apple was in active negotiations to acquire the streaming rights for Formula 1 in the United States.

Following the Financial Times report on Tuesday, Puck reported that Apple had submitted an offer over between $150 million and $200 million per year for the rights to F1 streaming in the US.

Presumably it will exist alongside Apple TV+ and MLS Season Pass as a separate streaming package.

It’s also unclear what the deal will mean for F1 TV, as we questioned earlier this week.

It’s possible, or perhaps likely, that Apple will obtain exclusive rights to F1 streaming in the US and therefore withhold access from F1 TV.

Apple Watch Ultra, outside of a very nice new titanium black, hasn’t been meaningfully upgraded since 2023.

But this fall that’s going to change when the Apple Watch Ultra 3 arrives.

Here are three new features coming to the next-generation Apple Watch Ultra 3.

Whereas previous Apple Watch Ultra models have been limited to 4G LTE connectivity, Apple plans to bring 5G to the Ultra 3 this year.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 features: wrap-upOutside of the features above, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely also include a new chip and updated OLED display—at minimum to match the Apple Watch Series 10’s features.

Dynamic Island could see big changes in coming yearsThere’s a lot about the iPhone 17 line that seems pretty certain at this point.

For example, the camera features of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, dimensions of the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, and a larger iPhone 17 screen.

In a new interview with the leaker, he says:I can reveal that the Dynamic Island is set for a significant evolution in the coming years.

Based on how this is written, Bu clearly isn’t referencing simple hardware changes like a smaller Dynamic Island cutout.

One thing we can assume, based on the diversity of Dynamic Island-related rumors: Apple definitely has plans for change in the years ahead.

Apple has picked up six Daytime Emmy nominations for one of its most interesting nature docuseries, produced in partnership with the BBC Studios Natural History Unit.

Apple has updated its list of obsolete and vintage products with a variety of fresh additions (via MacRumors), including the 2013 Mac Pro, 2019 Macs, 2018 iPads, and more.

Perhaps one of the most significant changes is that several AirPort products have now been marked ‘obsolete.’ Here’s what that means.

New additions to Apple’s vintage and obsolete product listWhen Apple stops selling a product, a clock starts ticking for when that product can be labeled vintage or obsolete by the company.

With obsolete products, however, Apple no longer offers any support.

HomeKit dramatically improved the user-friendliness of both configuring and controlling smart homes, by allowing everything to be done though a single app.

Here are three advanced features I’d like to see in the AI age …Natural-language programmingEven with HomeKit, setting up scenes and automations is still a relatively techy activity.

For example, someone may unlock the front door and walk in, immediately switching on the entrance lights.

They then walk into the living room, switch off the entrance lights and switch on several lights in the living room.

For example, it notices they sometimes also close the living room blinds, and realizes they do so when it’s dark outside.

HomePad now expected in spring 2026 due to Siri delaysMark Gurman writes at Bloomberg:Apple continues to work on a smart home hub code-named J490.

Per Gurman, Siri’s new capabilities are core features of the new Home product.

As a result, while Apple could have chosen to ship the HomePad, and add those features via a software update later, Gurman doubted that would happen.

Separately, Gurman has said that iOS 26.4 in the spring is Apple’s targeted launch for Siri’s delayed improvements.

It seems the HomePad will have to wait until spring 2026 too.

YouTube watch time among adults 55+ has more than doubled and is growing 80% faster than watch time among adults overall, according to Think with Google.

While it’s on the pricier side of things, it features a beautiful Apple design with a 27-inch 5K display.

One of the big surprises from the report involves the M5 MacBook Pro.

The M5 iPad Pro.

iPad Pro could get Apple’s new M-class chip before the Mac…againLast year, Apple did something with the M4 chip that it never had before.

If Gurman’s reporting proves right, the brand new M5 chip will launch in the iPad Pro this fall.

Perhaps Apple needs a little more time to get the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips ready, thus the MacBook Pro delay.

iPhone 17 coming in five colors, iPhone 17 Air in four per leakToday leaker yeux1122 has posted images that purportedly depict leaked camera components from Apple’s new iPhones.

And because these rings are color-matched to different models, they reveal what to expect from Apple’s color lineup.

Here’s what the images indicate is coming this fall:iPhone 17BlackBlueGreenPurpleSilveriPhone 17 AirBlackLight BlueLight GoldSilverUnfortunately there are no images depicting iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max components, so those colors are still unknown.

The iPhone 17 Air colors match what was previously shared by Majin Bu earlier this week.

What do you think of the iPhone 17 color lineup?

And while I still think Samsung is mostly winning in this market by walkover, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might have just made Apple’s case for what a foldable iPhone could look like.

Meanwhile, the last few years have had no shortage of rumors about Apple’s intention to release its own foldable iPhone.

And while with every Galaxy Z Fold generation, my first reaction would always be “I don’t want the iPhone version of that”, this week’s announcement finally got me thinking “Oh!

But with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has finally cracked what I think is the one thing that’s kept this category from feeling truly mainstream: thickness.

At $1,999.99 for the base model, which is $100 bump from last year, …

Apple is working on a set of smart glasses that will rival Meta's popular AI-equipped Ray-Bans, offering many of the same features.

OverviewThere have been persistent rumors about Apple's work on augmented reality smart glasses, but true, lightweight augmented reality glasses are still years away.

Apple's first smart glasses will be an iPhone accessory like the Apple Watch or AirPods, able to provide auxiliary features to reduce ‌iPhone‌ reliance.

AI IntegrationThe cameras in Apple's smart glasses will be able to feed information to an AI assistant.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes Apple could introduce the smart glasses as soon as 2026, but Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo doesn't expect them to…

In the early to mid-1990s, Apple released a wide range of quirky and unique products, ranging from printers and digital cameras to a video game console and a PDA with a keyboard.

Below, we reflect on five unique Apple products from the 1990s, including the QuickTake, Newton eMate 300, Studio Display, StyleWriter, and Pippin.

QuickTakeIn 1994, Apple released the QuickTake, one of the first consumer-oriented digital cameras ever.

Apple went on to release a line of Newton products, including the eMate 300 in 1996, an entry-level computer for children to use in the classroom.

This is actually a product that Apple released shortly after Jobs returned to Apple, and the line remained available unt…

For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win one of Apple's iPhone 16 models.

If you're not familiar with GRID Studio, it's a company that takes old, discarded Apple products and turns them into art for Apple fans.

GRID Studio is hosting a sale this week, and there are special discounts on the iPhone 2G and the ‌iPhone‌ 5 pieces, along with a 15 percent discount on everything else.

The GRID 2G is one of the most popular devices that GRID Studio sells, because it showcases the first ‌iPhone‌ that Apple made.

GRID Studio has a whole range of deconstructed Apple devices, and each one includes all of the components artfully displayed and …

The trash can ‌Mac Pro‌ wasn't discontinued until December 2019, when the redesigned "Cheese Grater" ‌Mac Pro‌ came out.

The ‌Mac Pro‌ featured a radical new cylindrical design that was much smaller than the previous-generation ‌Mac Pro‌, but it didn't end up meeting the needs of pro users.

Apple wasn't able to introduce a new version of the ‌Mac Pro‌ due to design limitations, and in 2017, Apple admitted that it had failed with the 2013 ‌Mac Pro‌.

Several devices were also transitioned from the vintage products list to the obsolete products list.

Devices are moved from the vintage list to the obsolete list after a two-year period.

2025Apple Vision Pro (M4): A refreshed first-generation Vision Pro.

Most recently, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman provided some clarifications about the new Vision Pro that is expected to launch this year.

2027Apple Smart Glasses : Similar to Meta Ray-Bans, Apple's first smart glasses product will offer multiple frame and temple material options for a more personalized look.

Apple Vision Air: Featuring all-new design that is "substantially lighter," with over 40% weight reduction compared to the Vision Pro.

2028Apple Vision Pro (second generation) : Apple's true second-generation Vision Pro headset will debut an entirely new design with a significantly reduced weight.

xAI's latest Grok 4 large language model appears to search for owner Elon Musk's opinions before answering sensitive questions about topics like Israel-Palestine, abortion, and U.S. immigration policy.

Data scientist Jeremy Howard was first to document the concerning behavior, showing that 54 of 64 citations Grok provided for a question about Israel-Palestine referenced Musk's views.

The AI model's "chain of thought" reasoning process explicitly states it's "considering Elon Musk's views" or "searching for Elon Musk views" when tackling such questions.

Here's a complete unedited video of asking Grok for its views on the Israel/Palestine situation.

Of course, either way, the discovery raises…

Apple plans to release a next-generation Studio Display or equivalent replacement external monitor as soon as early next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Gurman has not revealed any new features or changes planned for Apple's Studio Display successor.

Young believes this display could be a new Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting.

Mini-LED technology would provide benefits such as increased brightness and higher contrast ratio compared to the current Studio Display with LEDs.

Apple launched the Studio Display in March 2022 alongside the Mac Studio.

Apple in October 2024 overhauled its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, adding M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Thunderbolt 5 ports on higher-end models, display changes, and more.

Gurman has so far kept quiet on whether the redesigned MacBook Pro timeline has shifted as well.

OLED DisplayGoodbye, mini-LEDSeveral rumors have indicated that Apple is developing MacBook Pro models with OLED displays.

Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021.

M6 chips, on the other hand, could adopt a completely new packaging process for Apple's overhauled MacBook Pro models.

Apple will launch a new 12th generation entry-level iPad in the spring of next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Apple is said to have two versions of the entry-level 11-inch iPad in development, codenamed J581 and J582.

The current iPad 11 is available in 128, 256, and 512GB capacities.

The iPad 11 features an A16 processor.

Apple is reportedly aiming to launch the new devices in March or April 2026, suggesting a fast turnaround.

According to a July 2025 report from industry sources in Asia, Apple's forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models will both be equipped with 12GB of RAM – a 50% increase over their predecessors.

The base iPhone 17, however, is likely to retain 8GB of RAM – the same amount as that found in the current iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.

Below, we've compared the RAM configurations of the iPhone 16 series with what's currently expected from the iPhone 17 lineup.

Bear in mind that the iPhone 17 RAM configurations are based on analyst reports and leaks, and may not represent the actual amounts, which will likely be confirmed by device teardowns after launch.

Model iPhone 16 RAM iPhone 17 …

The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will be available in a total of nine color options, according to new information coming out of Asia.

According to the leaker going by the account name " yeux1122 " on the Korean blog Naver, accessory manufacturers are now producing camera protector rings for the ‌iPhone 17‌ and ‌iPhone 17 Air‌ in colors to match their finishes upon release, thereby revealing what options to expect.

The ‌iPhone 17 Air‌ will apparently be available in black, silver, gold, and blue.

On the other hand, the ‌iPhone 17 Air‌, which is set to replace the ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus, is moving to a much more muted, Pro-style selection of color options.

The ‌iPhone 17‌ and ‌iPhone 17 Air‌ are exp…

iPhone 17 Pro and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max models with displays made by BOE will be sold exclusively in China, according to a new report.

However, the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models with BOE displays will apparently be limited to the Chinese market.

Today, Apple sources the majority of its OLED panels for iPhones from South Korea-based Samsung Display and LG Display.

The company was later granted approval to resume supplying OLED panels for the ‌iPhone‌ 14, albeit in limited quantities.

The Chinese supplier apparently intends to play a major role in ‌iPhone‌ production in the future and grow its share of Apple's highly competitive display supply chain.

Apple's 2013 Mac Pro has been added to the company's list of vintage products.

Apple's infamous 2013 Mac Pro, with its unique cylindrical design, has been added to Apple's vintage and obsolete products list, along with multiple 2019 iMac and 2018 iPad Pro models.

As for the iconic 'Trash Can' Mac Pro from 2013, the iPhone maker added the machine to its list of vintage products on July 11.

The 128GB variant of the iPhone 8 has also joined its 64GB and 256GB counterparts on Apple's vintage products list.

It's ultimately not much of a surprise that the unique 2013 Mac Pro was added to Apple's vintage products list.

Apple Vision Pro could get a spec bumpThe Apple Vision Pro could get an update at any time, but leakers are at odds on when it will be announced and what chip might be inside.

The Apple Vision Pro was a tough sell with its high price, heavy weight, and lack of developer support.

Apple Vision Pro already has Apple IntelligenceWell, visionOS 2.4 introduced Apple Intelligence to the platform, so that was a miss.

If Apple wanted to emphasize gaming on Apple Vision Pro, the M5 would probably be the ideal candidate.

The ultimate goal is glasses that run visionOSBasically, imagine if Apple Vision Pro passthrough, but without seeing the interface on a screen.

iPhone 17 Pro rendersApple is giving BOE Technology the green light to produce iPhone 17 Pro displays for China's market.

By localizing some iPhone production in China, Apple can better meet local regulatory expectations.

Competitive pressures in the display marketSamsung Display and LG Display have been Apple's primary suppliers for high-end OLED panels.

What comes next for production and supplyApple typically ramps up large-scale iPhone production in China in late summer to meet a September launch schedule.

If BOE's display module mass production qualification is approved in July, it will strengthen its role in Apple's supply chain for the iPhone 17 Pro in China.

The 13-inch MacBook AirApple is rumored to be readying a new low-cost MacBook with an A18 processor that if real, will sell by the millions and further drive market share.

What will be the processor in the low-cost MacBook?

The A18 Pro first arrived on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max in the fall of 2024.

The new low-cost MacBook is said to account for 5 million to 7 million of those machines.

Of course, we have a redesigned MacBook Pro coming soon too, but that's a discussion for another time.

Apple is still expected to reveal the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, and the M5 processor later in 2025.

However, the products using the M5 processor might have been kicked back to help balance Apple's books more post-iPhone season.

Apple has released a beta firmware update for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4.

Apple has released a new developer beta firmware for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, with support for camera controls, better CarPlay hand-off, and more.

This beta software release is available for AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2, both the USB-C and Lightning models.

How to install the AirPods beta firmwareApple has made it relatively easy to download and install beta versions for iOS and macOS, but that's not the case for AirPods firmware updates.

Once you do that, follow these steps:Ensure Developer Mode is enabled in Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode.

MacBook ProApple's next update to the MacBook Pro won't be in 2025 with a refresh for the notebook now rumored to hit in early 2026.

Apple's current M4 MacBook Pro lineup has been around since October 2024.

In a Thursday report, Bloomberg claims that the next update to the MacBook Pro will be arriving in the first half of 2026.

Apple had initially expected to release an M5 update later in 2025, but it then shifted the schedule to be a later releasse.

The next one along, most likely the M6 MacBook Pro, will have a new case and make the long-awaited switch over to an OLED display.

However, sometimes we might be working with a type that requires some additional data that’s not present in the JSON (or whichever data format we’re decoding from) in order to be initialized.

For example, let’s say that we’re building a custom Container view, which renders a header on top of a content view, while also applying some default styling to those two components:struct Container: View { var header: Header var content: Content var body: some View { VStack (spacing: 0 ) { header .

var body: some View { Container (header: { Text ( "Welcome" ) }, content: { if let user { HomeView (user: user) } else { LoginView (user: $user ) } }) } }Neat!

init , content: content) } }Note that we have to use a closure for our content property above, rather than just a Content value.

init , @ViewBuilder content: () -> Content ) { self .

header = header () self .

close () } return try connection.

alreadyLoading } isLoading = true defer { isLoading = false } let request = requestForLoadingItems (after: lastItem) let response = try await networking.

ID : Task <[ Item ], Error >]() ... func loadItems(after lastItem: Item ) async throws -> [ Item ] { if let existingTask = activeTasksForLastItemID[lastItem.

value } let task = Task { defer { activeTasksForLastItemID[lastItem.

id ] = task return try await task.

So, when working with such static URLs, it’s very common to simply use force unwrapping to turn the resulting optional URL into a non-optional one:let url = URL (string: "https://swiftbysundell.com" )!

With the above in place, we can now easily convert any static string within our code base into a URL , without having to deal with optionals at every single call site:let url = URL (staticString: "https://swiftbysundell.com" )Nice!

Let’s see if we can write a Swift macro that’ll let us not just convert, but also validate static URL strings at compile time.

It's also great to see Swift Testing going from strength to strength, with three major improvements coming in Swift 6.2, including exit tests and attachments.

So, this kind of code is legal in Swift 6.2 and later:func `function name with spaces`() { print("Hello, world!")

As an example, we could create two classes like this:final class User: Sendable { let id = UUID() } final class Session: Sendable { weak let user: User?

{ self.user = user } }We could then make and use them like so:var user: User?

Note: Unlike the XCTest equivalent, Swift Testing's attachments do not support lifetime controls in Swift 6.2.

macOS Apprentice is a series of multi-chapter tutorials where you’ll learn about developing native macOS apps in Swift, using both SwiftUI — Apple’s newest user interface technology — and AppKit — the venerable UI framework.

macOS Apprentice doesn’t cover every single feature of macOS; it focuses on the absolutely essential ones.

Instead of just covering a list of features, macOS Apprentice does something much more important: It explains how all the building blocks fit together and what is involved in building real apps.

Our other book on building apps for macOS, macOS by Tutorials, is designed for developers who have a solid background in iOS development and are looking to make the leap to…

Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to do the same for a new generation of AI tools.

But back to more practical matters:Let’s talk about where we are today with Model Context Protocol.

In the process of building iMCP, we built a Swift SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and clients.

We think emcee is a convenient way to connect to services that don’t have an existing MCP server implementation — especially for services you’re building yourself.

In case it’s not abundantly clear, we here at NSHipster dot com are pretty bought into the promise of Model Context Protocol.

What can I do?

It tells the shell to pass all subsequent arguments to the command being run, rather than interpreting them as options to op run itself.

I wrote this in response:Both Apple and Phil Schiller himself took a huge risk in doing this.

And humanizing the company and its decisions, especially to developers — remember, developer relations is all under Phil — might be worth the PR risk.

* * *For unspecified reasons, Apple has declined to participate this year, ending what had become a beloved tradition in our community — and I can’t help but suspect that it won’t come back.

We’ll see what their WWDC PR strategy looks like in a couple of weeks.

This will be the first WWDC I’m not attending since 2009 (excluding the remote 2020 one, of course).

Reaper – SDK для поиска мертвого кодаSentry продолжают выкладывать в опенсорс инструменты, полученные в наследство после покупки EmergeTools. В этот раз очередь Reaper – инструмента, который помогает отслеживать код, который никогда не используется в проде.

Опыт со Swift Package RegistrySwift Package Registry – фича SwiftPM, позволяющая вам поднять собственный сервер для раздачи пакетов. Это важно в следующих случаях:👉Вы хотите ускорить пайплайны за счет того, чтобы не клонировать каждый раз Git репозитории👉Вы боитесь supply chain атак👉Вы боитесь, что репозитории с пакетами, на которые вы полагаетесь, в какой-то прекрасный день удалятВ статье подробно разбирается опыт развертки своего Swift Package Registry поверх Artifactory.

FaultOrdering – ускоряем запуск приложенияКак вы помните, Sentry недавно купили Emerge Tools. Неожиданно, после этого они решили выложить свой ранее платный инструмент в опенсорс. FaultOrdering – пакет, автоматически генерирующий Order-файлы во время прогона UI-тестов. А использование этих файлов позволяет ускорить запуск приложения где-то на 20%.

Как в Airbnb улучшают перфоманс SwiftUIПока самые слабые отказываются от SwiftUI из-за проблем с перфомансом, Airbnb пытается решать проблемы с ним. В сегодняшней статье они рассказывают про то, как работает diffing алгоритм и как его контролировать.

Учим Claude писать на Swift 6Одна из проблем, о которой рассказывал автор вчерашней статьи – достаточно плохое знание агентом особенностей Swift. Эта проблема частично решается добавлением нужной информации в контекст модели. Если все-таки решите попробовать, то по ссылке – детальные правила работы с Swift 6 и Swift Concurrency.

Как Claude помог переписать на Swift легаси приложениеClaude Code – очень популярный сейчас агент от Anthropic. Автор статьи рассказывает, как всего за 20$ он переписал Objective-C приложение, написанное 12 лет назад с таргетом под iOS 6, на Swift и SwiftUI.Читается как дневник, очень много полезных выводов – рекомендую всем, кто подумывает вкатиться в агентов.

Детали про Foundation ModelГлавная вещь, которую нужно понимать про локальную LLM, встроенную в iOS – она достаточно маленькая и слабая по современным меркам, особенно в плане размера окна контекста, всего 4096 токенов. Это значит, что относиться к ней стоит не как к карманному ChatGPT, а скорее как к умному форматтеру свободного текста в структурные данные.

Про observation в UIKitЯ уже рассказывал, что Apple внезапно завезли Observable в UIKit, причем сразу же до iOS 18. Так вот, держите более подробную статью с разбором того, как он работает, какие ограничения есть, и как избежать просадок перфоманса.

Что нового в SwiftUIС обновлениями UIKit разобрались, давайте посмотрим на SwiftUI:👉Нативный WebView👉Поддержка rich text editing в TextView👉Возможность задать свои собственные лейблы для секций таблицы (вот те самые буквы, которые сбоку отображаются)👉Макрос Animatable👉Поддержка openURL в in-app браузере

Android на пути к официальной поддержке в SwiftВ Swift появилась новая рабочая группа, задача которой – сделать Android официально поддерживаемой платформой. Задачи перед собой поставили стандартные для кроссплатформенного фреймворка, обсуждение открытое, так что можете поучаствовать. Группу драйвят ребята из Skip Tools, про которых я уже рассказывал раньше.Что же, тепло привествуем наших коллег из Android Good Reads (@droidgr)!

Если вы не знали, то в логах Xcode за пару кликов можно за пару кликов спрятать все сообщения от определенной библиотеки, процесса или подсистемы.

Примеры использования Foundation Model FrameworkДержите постепенно пополняемую коллекцию проектов с использованием локальной LLM от Apple:👉Суммаризатор расшифровок встреч👉Планировщик поездок👉Генератор батиных шуток👉Генератор рецептов на основе списка продуктов

Mesh градиенты в SwiftUIВ отличие от радиальных и линейных, mesh градиенты дают получить более свободное распределение цветов по плоскости. В статье разбирается, как такие градиенты создавать, управлять их геометрией, тем самым распределением цветов, создавать сложные фигуры и анимации.

Dragula – drag'n'drop движок для SwiftUIDragula – новая библиотека для SwiftUI, которая упрощает создание drag-n-drop интерфейсов. Работает и в списках с секциями, поддерживает горизонтальный и вертикальный скролл.

Что нового в тулингеБольшой обзор всех главных улучшений разработческого тулинга от ребят из Tuist:👉Много улучшений вокруг тестирования, в том числе запись видео прогона UI тестов.👉Новый макрос #playground – аналог previews, но для не-UI кода.👉Проект, позволяющий запускать Linux контейнеры на маке – container. Опенсорсный, полностью на Swift.
