Core ML On-Device Inference: The Patterns That Actually Ship
Core ML runs models on Neural Engine, GPU, or CPU. The patterns that ship: model conversion, dispatch hinting, latency budgets, and quantization.
AI & TechnologyWriting Tools API: How Apps Plug Into Apple Intelligence's Writing Layer
iOS 18 introduced Writing Tools. iOS 26 makes adoption a single property for standard text views, and a designed coordinator API for custom text engines.
AI & TechnologyAccessibility As Platform: Personal Voice, Live Speech, Eye Tracking, Music Haptics
Personal Voice, Live Speech, Eye Tracking, Music Haptics, Vocal Shortcuts: accessibility as platform features, not app responsibilities.
AI & TechnologySymbol Effects: SwiftUI's Built-In Animation Vocabulary For Every Icon
SF Symbols ships an animation vocabulary every iOS app can speak. Bounce, pulse, scale, replace, variable color, breathe: already designed, accessible, free.
AI & TechnologySF Pro: Variable Axes, Optical Sizing, And The Dynamic Type Contract
Apple's system font ships with three variable axes and continuous optical sizing. The vocabulary that makes typography work across the Apple platforms.
AI & TechnologyvisionOS Spatial Patterns Beyond the Window
Apps that float an iPad UI on Vision Pro miss the platform. Windows, Volumes, Immersive Spaces, ornaments, attachments: the visionOS-native vocabulary.
AI & TechnologyApple Vision Framework: On-Device CV Most Devs Skip
Apple Vision ships more than two dozen on-device CV operations. Most devs default to OpenAI Vision for tasks Vision performs in milliseconds, free, on-device.
AI & TechnologySwift Testing: The Framework Replacing XCTest, and What Stays In XCTest
Swift Testing ships with Xcode 16+ and Swift 6. Macros, traits, parametrized tests, parallel by default. Migrate incrementally; UI tests stay in XCTest.
AI & TechnologytvOS Focus Engine: SwiftUI Patterns for the Siri Remote
Apple TV navigates by focus, not touch. SwiftUI's .focusable, @FocusState, focusSection, and prefersDefaultFocus are the vocabulary. The patterns that ship.
AI & TechnologyFoundation Models Agentic Workflow: In-App Vs Tooling LLM
Two LLMs touch a Swift app. The on-device model that ships with the app and the agent that wrote the code. Different stacks, different obligations.
AI & TechnologyThree Surfaces: Human, Apple Intelligence, Agent
Every iOS app capability faces three surfaces: human, Apple Intelligence, agent. Each has different obligations, rendering, latency, and trust posture.
