It’s crazy how the Apple ecosystem is so powerful that it can easily handle 12 iPhones and iPads controlling one Mac at the same time

…and synchronize changes between devices within seconds as if it were nothing.

I just built a giant chocolate (touch) bar for your Mac…that runs on your iPad.

Open your recent and favorite apps with a tap. Dismiss or maximize them with a swipe. Open websites, trigger Apple Shortcuts, copy & paste with another swipe and send emojis while you type.

Enter choclift for iPad. Available for free on the App Store now.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

Using gestures on your iPhone to copy, paste, and control apps on your Mac is pure ecosystem magic.

My free app lets you switch between your favorite Mac apps with just a touch, minimize and maximize them with a swipe, and even use a grab-and-throw gesture to copy and paste.

choclift is now available with a big update on the App Store for iOS and macOS.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

I just launched a free App that lets you open Mac Apps…from your iPhone. And close them with a swipe. A much faster drag and drop. And a ton of more features in the pipeline.

It’s called choclift and you really should try it out. Available for free in the App Store for iOS and macOS.

THIS is how you do an Apple Museum.

I got invited to the exclusive opening of the Apple Museum in Utrecht, which felt like the perfect way to celebrate 50 years of the company that has shaped my life for the past 16 years.

But this is not just another collection. Through their unique displays, the museum conveys the core values and philosophies of Steve Jobs: seeing art in technology, approaching concepts in new ways, and paying attention to the smallest details. I couldn’t stop smiling.

If you’re a fan of Apple, this is not only a must-visit, but probably one of the greatest Apple experiences you’ll ever have.

The best way to explore new Apple products before they appear in stores will always be on Vision Pro.

And you can do it from anywhere, though I admit doing it in an Apple Store is a bit beside the point.

Can’t wait to see the new M5 MacBook Pro in action!

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

I keep finding new ways to integrate Apple Vision Pro into my creative work.

For example, in my work as a type designer, I’ve found it extremely helpful to test my latest fonts in different sizes on real-world products, enabling true-to-life mockups.

This is far more efficient and eco-friendly than printing endless versions on paper like I usually do.

Spatial computing is a tool, and it’s always up to us to find ways it can make each of our unique workflows more productive.

Woof, this was awesome.

The new Apple Immersive Video “Top Dogs” is officially out – a two-part documentary exclusive to Apple Vision Pro. It follows the world’s biggest dog show, Crufts, and its furry contestants.

This is yet another great example of why pretty much any kind of sport works incredibly well in this format. You’re always so close to the action that you can’t help but feel completely immersed in the story.

It’s crazy how easily AR can trick your brain.

After testing this Vision Pro app, which has realistic virtual birds that react to your hand movements, it was hard not to remember the experience as something that actually happened.

True augmented reality is one of the most magical things there is. There are virtually no limits to what it can evolve into.

“The best views in this house, right from the best seats in yours. This is what Vision Pro is all about.”

I finally got the chance to watch the first immersive 3D live broadcast on Vision Pro, which was undoubtedly a historic moment for live television. It's available now, even outside the U.S.

To watch the full Lakers vs Bucks Game Replay all you need to do is to create a free NBA account, open the NBA App on Vision Pro, go to the "Immersive" tab, long-press on “Watch Game Now” and then "Immersive full Game".

To be honest, I’m not that into sports. But I have to say, it’s a completely different experience when you actually feel like you’re part of the action instead of watching it through a flat 2D piece of glass. It's just so much fun.

This truly changes the game of watching games at home. 🏀

Apple just announced the dates for the first live NBA Los Angeles Lakers games on Spectrum Front Row in Immersive, starting January 9, 2026

- 7 camera angles, including courtside, under-the-basket, player tunnel, and broadcast booth

- 3D floating game graphics for score, shot clock, and player info

- Spatial Audio captured with ambisonic microphones for full arena atmosphere

- A high-bitrate live stream (up to 150 Mbps) produced specifically for Vision Pro

AirDrop is so convenient for giving Vision Pro demos.

You can send Apple TV titles, photos, or 3D models directly from your iPhone to Vision Pro, and they appear right in front of the guest without them having to open any apps.

It makes everything so much easier for everyone.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

Okay, this is absolutely WILD – Apple’s new Sharp model is even more impressive on Vision Pro when you place it exactly where the original photo was taken.

Since we’ll probably never have snow on Christmas again, seeing my parents’ garden covered in snow once more made me really emotional.

I still can’t believe this was created from a single picture. We’re getting very close to real-life time machines.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

visionOS is still the most beautifully crafted operating system I’ve ever designed for.

An infinite canvas, the element of depth, the new possibilities thanks to eye tracking, all of this allows me to push my creativity beyond the limits of a rectangular screen. But what really makes visionOS unique is how sophisticated its design system is.

Even though it’s something completely new, the underlying logic feels familiar, and there’s a rich library of components and materials to build upon.

By relying on the system, I don’t have to worry that much about background colors or dark mode. The native glass materials adapt naturally, making every app feel alive while always taking care of legibility and contrast. This gives me a significant head start and lets me focus on what matters most when designing the user experience.

Being a UX/UI designer for spatial computing is still a niche role in a niche market. But for me, it’s the most exciting and fun space in digital product design right now.

Can’t wait for more of this in 2026.

You’re on vacation, the Airbnb TV is tiny, and the sun has turned it into a mirror. But luckily, you’re living in the future.

Watching movies together on Vision Pro is still my favorite thing to do with Local SharePlay (as long as the internet connection is stable enough 😆)

Can’t wait for when this will be accessible for everyone!

Imagine watching your AAPL stock climb to new heights just by looking up from your desktop.

The free Vision Pro app Cyberstocks lets you pin your portfolio anywhere in your space just like posters, turning boring office walls into something actually useful.

Compare different stocks, interact with your views, and choose from multiple stylings for the windows. This app is a must-have for anyone who owns stocks.

Today I used my Vision Pro for my morning fitness routine and saw the future of home workouts.

Before the Dual Knit Band, I never really considered this an option. But since Apple Vision Pro has become so much more comfortable, I decided to give it a try and test out FunFitLand.

The app gives you a personal fitness trainer, a variety of beautiful environments, and tons of interactive workouts, from calm meditation sessions to intense HIIT routines.

I wanted to see if it really adds that much value compared to just following a YouTube workout – and yes, it absolutely does. It’s so much more fun and feels like playing a game, while still being super effective. It didn’t take long before I started breaking a sweat.

While I don’t see myself doing longer or extremely intense workouts with it, it definitely got me excited for the future of AR. Because one day, we’ll have these kinds of experiences on lightweight glasses — and when that day comes, I’ll be using them all the time.

I still can’t believe that Apple sent me the new Vision Pro with the M5 early to test and review. I’ve been testing it non-stop for almost a week now — and this is my full review, in my best bad German accent.

Spoiler: It‘s a much bigger upgrade than you might think.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

I’ve spent the last few days testing the performance of Apple Vision Pro with M5 — here’s how it stacks up against the original.

It’s 35% quicker when booting up, widgets appear almost instantaneously, Safari is noticeably more responsive, and creating Spatial Scenes also feels much faster.

The most impressive, and most interesting difference, though, comes with Apple Intelligence features, especially the Writing Tools. It summarized a reeeally long Wikipedia article in half the time. It really makes me wonder if Apple has more AI capabilities up its sleeve that the M5 will eventually unlock.
