I've been building websites for 10+ years as well, and I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted on workaround to make something trivial work in Safari that required no work in other browsers. I've also run into some pretty gnarly animation performance issues over the years.

That being said, Apple has clearly upped the focus on the browser in the last two years, and they are shipping a ton more features and fixes in each update, so kudos to them for refocusing as of late.

HoloKit, originally a Google Cardboard-like AR device for the iPhone, has been relaunched as a more premium $150 iPhone accessory. Unfortunately no SDK available anymore (for now at least).

Looks interesting. Has anyone here tried it?

Yet they’ll buy their own quarry or glass factory…

Anyone who has coded an html email is very familiar with tables

There would be a lot of people with VPNs nodes in Delaware (no sales tax).

I'm a developer myself and use Apple both professionally and personally. I hear the walled garden excuse frequently from those who choose not to use Apple products, but honestly I don't run into limitations often on macOS. I have to ask - what is it that you're trying to do that makes you feel as though macOS is a walled garden? Short of really serious kernel extensions, I don't find myself pressing up against a walled garden on macOS.

That being said, iOS is absolutely a walled garden, though I rarely find myself in need of something that it doesn't accommodate anymore (with the exception of WebXR, which isn't exactly popular yet). But Microsoft doesn't have its own mobile OS anymore, so not sure this is analogous.

Using Safari on iOS 14, none of the fun emoji examples worked so...

What would you say those intentions are?

Shocked this isn't getting more discussion on here. This almost seems off-brand for GitLab.

Isn't this also a UWB chip? If so, this may have something to do with the rumored AR headset

You're absolutely correct that the prices of these phones are insane, but let's be honest here – a base-model Samsung Galaxy S10 is $899.99 MSRP. You can get them on Amazon for $699, which puts them at the same price as iPhone 11. So I'm not quite buying the Apple tax, unless your argument is that Apple is allowing everyone else to charge high prices, in which case you may be on to something.

Surprised there isn't more discussion of this. This is an extremely exciting development, though admittedly I have no expertise in this field. Does anyone have a background in hydrogen? Seems too good to be true.
