Apple CEO Tim Cook will take part in his last WWDC presentation on June 8.

Dumpert is a Dutch video site I've watched for years, but there's never been an Apple TV app, so I built one. DumpertTV is an unofficial, open-source tvOS client. Here's how it's put together and a few things that were more interesting than I expected. Disclaimer up front: this project is not affiliated with Dumpert or DPG Media B.V. It's an independent app that uses the public Dumpert API. The stack Swift 6 with strict concurrency ( complete mode) across every target SwiftUI for all UI, tvOS 18+ XcodeGen so the .xcodeproj is generated from a project.yml and never committed CloudKit , GroupActivities (SharePlay), Vision , AVKit , Swift Testing One actor for the network, one source of truth for the UI The whole networking layer is an actor . That makes per-request state like ETags and retry bookkeeping thread-safe without a single lock: actor DumpertAPIClient { private var etags : [ URL : String ] = [:] func fetch < T : Decodable > ( _ endpoint : APIEndpoint ) async throws -> T { // Exponential backoff on 5xx + network errors; honours 304 Not Modified. try await fetchWithRetry ( endpoint , attempt : 0 ) } } The UI reads from a single @Observable @MainActor repository injected through the SwiftUI environment — no Combine, no view models competing over the same state: @Observable @MainActor final class VideoRepository { private(set) var hotshiz : [ MediaItem ] = [] let apiClient : APIClientProtocol // protocol-backed for testing } ContentView () . environment ( videoRepository ) Views just read repository.hotshiz ; updates flow automatically. With Swift 6's strict concurrency on, the compiler kept me honest about every actor hop. Things that were trickier than expected tvOS focus + a top tab bar. Getting a Netflix-style hero carousel to behave with the focus engine took real care. It also made automating screenshots interesting — scripted remote input doesn't reliably drive the simulator, so I added #if DEBUG launch-argument hooks to jump straight to any tab/category f

Apple will introduce age verification in the App Store for users in Texas starting on Thursday, June 4th.

Compact power banks have gotten a lot faster in the past year — and it’s not just their USB-C charging speeds that have received a boost. The newest Qi2.2-certified models can wirelessly charge an iPhone 16 or later at up to 25W. Combine that with their ability to magnetically snap on via MagSafe, and you’ve […]

Keep your trio of Apple gadgets powered up wherever you go with these compact folding chargers.

Hi everybody. We have created this app around two months and this is third version with fixed bugs. Now it is amazing app that synchronization your tasks throughs iPhone iPad Mac via iCloud with no Sign In! And in pocket you will already have a useful notes. It was a huge code work. Hours and hours. Such a pleasure. What I want to note here for you fellas, we were going from these scheme: What's really happening The self-overwrite loop User edits subtask title ↓ onChange fires → scheduleSave() → debounce 1s ↓ ...debounce fires → DataManager.save() writes todos.json to iCloud ↓ NSMetadataQuery detects file change on disk ↓ ↑ └── todosChanged() ───────┘ ↓ taskManager.loadTodos() ↓ self.todos = loadedTodos ← 💥 replaces entire array mid-edit The core problem is that NSMetadataQuery watches the file at the OS level. It has no concept of who made the change — your own app writing the file looks identical to another device syncing a change over iCloud. So every save you make triggers a reload that cancels whatever the user is currently doing. Why subtask titles are worst affected A TextField bound to $subtask.title is live — it reflects the array value character by character. The moment self.todos = loadedTodos runs, SwiftUI throws away the in-memory array and rebuilds from the freshly decoded JSON. If the save hasn't happened yet (debounce still counting down), the loaded file has the old title, and the field visually snaps back. Progress sliders have the same issue but it's less noticeable because a slider value is a Double — the snap-back is a jump rather than disappearing characters. Why it only shows up on real devices The simulator runs everything on the same Mac so iCloud writes are near-instant and the race window is tiny. On a real device the file system is slower and iCloud sync adds latency, making the timing gap between "user is editing" and "reload fires" much more visible. The three fixes needed Fix 1 — Ignore self-triggered reloads in DataManager Track a isS

The MacBook Neo shipped 1.1 million units in its first weeks on sale, IDC estimates, as Apple pushes deeper into the mainstream laptop market.

Apple isn't just looking to take on Meta in the smart glasses market; it's looking to upend eyewear as a whole, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

These refreshed devices are waiting on the debut of the revamped Siri.

For nearly 80 years, Ferrari occupied a unique cultural space where its cars were aspirational, even for people who resented those who could afford them. The price, the exclusivity, and the opacity of the buying process allowed Ferrari to sail above ordinary criticism. You might not be able to afford one, but you still wanted […]

The port seems solid, and all DLC is supported—but there's no crossplay, sadly.
