  • visionOS 26 at WWDC rumored to have a big emphasis on gaming

    One thing that wasn't mentioned was the fact that Apple is actively helping out with Godot. For those who do not know, Godot is an open-source game engine that can do 3D and 2D games on it, and has a relatively easy to use interface. Apple has recently did a PR request on it to have visionOS as a part of Godot's systems that are supported. I would say that this is a major indicator that Apple wants to position visionOS as a true gaming system that has the hardware and software to support it.

    Totally irrelevant for most users as the majority does not perceive a performance issue. So there is no compelling argument to upgrade. 
    it would be for intel users. 


    Yup. Exactly this. To be fair, my MBP 2016 still holds up well for what I need it to do. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say that I do feel that itch to upgrade

  • Nintendo might build hardware controllers for iPhone and iPad

    I hope this is true! I've been saying for a long time that Nintendo should do this. It's a smart way to keep their brand relevant. They could release their old-school "Virtual Console" games on iOS, but make it so they only work with their controllers. Some people might balk at this, but the fact is that foisting controller-based games onto a touch interface is terrible. Since Nintendo values the customer experience as highly as Apple, forcing people to use their controllers will ensure a consistently solid playing experience.
    I don't think that this will happen. Apple has very strict guidelines when it comes to controllers. First, the game must be able to operate without a controller. Secondly, the controller has to adhere to layouts for buttons and control sticks. Those two things may make Nintendo shy away from this, which is why I don't think this rumor will pan out.
