My two cents: Don’t try to replicate or duplicate Liquid Glass. This is UI that changes in real-time based on position, background and context. Anything non-Swift will look fake. (That Flutter can’t support new UI from both Google and Apple, well, that’s another story.)

This 💯. I know this may scare many “we’ve always done it this way” designers, so try it for a few months. Compare the results. I switched my sequence years ago (hi-fi UI at the end). It’s been refreshing and rewarding. AI-assisted coding makes this even easier than before.

Mark Gurman Mark, what does this mean for Apple Immersive Video and for the filmmakers investing in this new medium? Smart glasses can’t really play back immersive content, and the Vision Pro’s user base will be too small to really push it forward. Even if Apple is shelving headsets for

Apple Vision Pro Dual Knit Band review: Excellent upgrade from solo (my previous daily band). Weight in the back is just enough to improve weight distribution so there’s less pressure on your cheeks. The design attention to detail is top notch.

An AI startup
running 9-9-6 proves that
they have yet to build

AI that provides enough value so they can just work 9-5-5

The emerging problem with AI agent design? Designers are optimizing for software interfaces, not human experiences. We need less design for “human in the loop” and more “human end to end.” I’m developing a set of practical principles to address this experience gap.

Made a macOS app at work this week just to try something out. Made it purely with Claude Code and a handful of manual tweaks. There’s no excuse to not be prototyping in native material these days.

When seeking advice,
listen more closely to the person who actually does it
than the person
who can’t imagine doing it.

My new workflow in 2026? Prototypes in parallel. A repeatable process to prototype to learn via multiple variants of a single product idea. Speed to build is collapsing. One fast car is fine, but to win, you need multiple cars (e.g. Hendrick IYKYK). Can’t wait to share more...

One of the hidden superpowers of prototyping an iPhone app in SwiftUI is that it can also run on iPad, Mac and Vision Pro. Although it keeps the iPhone UI on these platforms, it's a powerful shortcut that can help you feel how the app works (or doesn't work) on other devices.

TIL that one of the unadvertised benefits of your Persona in Apple Vision Pro is that you can be sick as a dog IRL but yet still appear 100% healthy and lucid on a video call.

This 💯!!! Code is code. Designers, you are prototyping design concepts or producing production design, but most important, you are problem solving with visual design. Designers (and everyone else), you are way more valuable to the product process than the word “vibe” suggests.

In my work, Claude feels like a full timer on staff, and Codex feels like a freelance programmer. They both get the job done buuut…

Hi Elon Musk! Apple rejected my iOS/Mac app that auto forwards wiki pages to Grokipedia. Apple says I can't say Grokipedia in the app info (I don't imply any endorsement by xAI). Can you OK use of the word Grokipedia and my screen shot of the AI page? Happy to send more info.

Apple App Store review times seem to be slipping back to the original iPhone era, when it took closer to a week than 2-3 days for review. Prediction: An App Review agent in Xcode that pre-reviews apps prior to submission.
