Challenge your friends, your enemies, or if you forgot NZ Father's Day last weekend, challenge your dad and let him win! 🏆 We're stoked to be part of the new Apple Games app, which lets you find your mates and invite them to beat your best score.

Apple announced a dedicated native gaming app at WWDC today.

Last month they acquired an indie game studio too.

Gaming isn't just a side quest for Apple.

Hello from Apple Vision Pro. I was surprised at how negative the reviews were of this.

This is by far the most awesome VR experience I have ever had. The visual clarity is so good for screens, it feels retina-level, and I feel like the amount of information you can absorb is another level.

I decided to pair a Magic Keyboard to this and realized with full app support, I could almost certainly replace my desktop experience entirely with the Vision Pro. (Curious to see if I could potentially edit an entire video but I would also want to use the whole visual field to be able to pull together footage.)

There should probably be a “full screen mode” for apps that are fully immersive. There are definitely full-visual-field apps (photos, photo editing, photo sorting, video, creative tools, movie making with AI) that won’t require mixed reality that will be significantly better than on 2D screens.

The iPhone was a toy, but the Vision Pro shows us something that could be actually how people use computers on a daily basis. The future is here, just not evenly distributed yet.

Reel 'em all in with Ridiculous Fishing EX. Cast a line, avoid fish on the way down, and catch as many as you can on the way up. @Vlambeer and @KOOPMode made this one off the hook.

Happy Birthday, the App Store turns 15 today!

Proud to have worked with great colleagues at Apple to launch and grow the Store over the years. It has been awesome to see what developers have been able to do with the platform and how they have enriched our lives with apps

These guys are just politicians. The Constitution to them is just a fun tool to help them impose their political views on the entire country. The implausible inconsistency of the guns and abortion rulings is both sickening and revealing.

Sorry if you're tired of my relentless posts about #WWDC22 gaming features, I've had a lot of coffee and we're just getting started. Gaming activity is now right in the Game Center dashboard and Unity plug-ins make it easy - be sure to watch tomorrow: https://t.co/lYmAEu9EHd

Background checks - another enormously popular piece of legislation - just passed the House, thanks to the tireless work of @GabbyGiffords and so many others.

@BStulberg Agreed. Folks with reach should say what you’re saying and end the tweet with things that can be done to spur positive forward progress. I’m looking for an action list we can suggest to people @PodSaveAmerica
