Apple’s Haptic F1 Movie Trailer Is Cool—But What’s the Point?
I guess it’s hard to get attention for your movie these days, with the competition in both cinemas and on streaming channels hotter than ever. So what did Apple do to help promote F1: The Movie?

For developers, Apple’s tools get a lot better for AI – Computerworld
There was something missing from Xcode, and that was a tool called Swift Assist. Apple announced that tool, which was intended to help developers write code using AI, at WWDC last year.

You Can ‘Fix’ Apple’s Liquid Glass Transparent Design
Change isn’t always easy. Case in point: “Liquid Glass.” Apple’s upcoming “26” updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro introduce this new design language that adds a transparent, glassy look to icons, menus, and windows.

What we know so far about Apple’s Liquid Glass UI – Computerworld
“It’s hard to read sometimes,” said designer Allan Yu, “I think because they’ve set it to be a little too transparent.” Apple will almost certainly address these criticisms before it arrives in final form on various operating systems. (It’s currently only available in early developer betas.) To my eyes, Liquid Glass is a particular problem in Control Center; Apple may need…

Apple’s Liquid Glass was a wild change to my iPhone
After staring at, scrolling through, and puzzling over Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language on my iPhone for the better part of an afternoon, I don’t hate it. But I also think it needs a little more time in the kiln. Apple announced Liquid Glass on Monday for all of its devices at WWDC 2025. Perhaps the most noticeable thing…

US Court Rejects Apple’s Appeal, Third-Party Links to Prevail in App Store
In April, Apple lost its tussle with Epic Games, after a US federal count ruled to allow third-party links in the apps without any upcharge. Apple, obviously displeased with the decision, tried to appeal their case, but it was rejected by the US appeals court, taking another loss. Apple attempted to appeal its case at the 9th US Circuit Court…
