It's notice-ably faster for me. I have a slight feeling part of this is due to the performance of Flutter apps on a cold start vs a native app. It's mind boggling how much of a change that made.

Yeah, this is a valid take (one I initially had myself). This ties into the entire concept of "personalization" and "gamification" which builds on customer loyalty. Tesla sort of proved this out and other car manufactures have definitely run user testings on this. You'd be surprised, but the 2...

As an incremental improvement (and something I implemented previously), would be great if they could let users selectively apply some material colors on different areas for personalization. I believe Tesla added that capability in car a while back. Depending on how they sliced up the model...

I'm not going to lie, this is a very odd issue for an actual native application to have... and quite unexpected without something really funky happening behind the scenes. I get the 3D space not scaling gracefully from a bug, but the navigation bar and the tab bar are ... unexpected. Definitely...

Cool, with respect my decade plus of Big Tech, Small Tech, and Fortune 500 experience is hyper focused around this area of expertise. It’s unlikely for most people to not have used at least 1 app I’ve had a large hand in at some point. Lecturing me on this topic is, well, funny. This is my...

Also, this isn’t what I’m saying nor did the examples I provided break Apples terms… They were concretely loops holes vetted by a legal team, some 100% still are. For example, companies recording screen metadata and reconstructing UI rather actual screen recording without user consent. It’s a...

This has similarly been a part of my job with a pretty tight loop and the same tools with a hyper focus on iOS. My original background and mentorship was NSA bound 😅. Anyways, if you understand iOS dev and this then my points stand.

How I wish the Air had this in it — even if it was just in the 2024 models.

There's a lot of things that make Paak slow for all manufacturers unfortunately. Ironically, Tesla has bypassed some of this at the sake of security. But quite a few OEMs use iBeacon like technology to wake up your phone and have quite rigorous rules on filtering distance for security reasons...

Professionally speaking, I'm in 100% disagreement with this. I have more than enough insight and experience in this area to just no that any assumption this isn't a thing anymore for the most popular companies is an incorrect statement + no. It's just factually untrue as an assertion. Heck...

This can definitely be true

RAM wouldn’t be a good reason to force quit an app. iOS handles that for you. Battery life definitely is a reason to force kill an app though. It’s not a sure fire thing, but definitely stops apps from using background processing against your will. There’s also some nuke settings like @Joe...

Eh, not always a realistic take. I will point to Facebook, SnapChat, Instagram, and TikTok as references. Sometimes there's cultural things that supersede ideals. The apps are also useful, you just want to prevent them from abusing you as a customer. Craigslist over Facebook Market place...

Totally feasible and I've done it myself 😅. Just gLTF files and there's an open source framework for similar things to what SceneKit has. Heck, if their core file is USDZ then there are ways to translate that to gLTF pretty easily.

This is something we'll have to disagree on. Due to background system abuse amongst many other things, I would highly encourage force killing apps you don't explicitly need to function in the background. For the longest time, Snapchat was abusing some web socket VOIP loopholes through background...

Yes, but it's also super unlikely. Almost everyone has to go through a vendor dedicated to collecting this data for various operation reasons. The most common sources are Google + HEREMaps now-a-days for better or worse.

Last time I checked the available POI filters from Apple's POI services, I don't _think_ you can get this granular (per what the Lucid filters reveal). I'll have to double back/check that. It would be super odd for them to mix match POI data in the vehicle with the mobile app and they do have...

I didn't catch this but this is... potentially a legal issue. Fun fact, you cannot render HereMaps data in a competing Map -- aka Apple | Google Maps. I'm wondering how they bypassed that...

When an App update releases, the App Store has multiple index files that are updated in waves. App updates do not become available for everyone at once and this isn't even considering a percentage rollout for an app update -- which could make it take up to a week. If you're in the batch, go to...

Definitely an oversimplification — Flutter isn’t even technically a “native” translation tool given it has a custom rendering engine and leans 0% into native components. I’m super happy about this but sad to see them try to keep the Flutter aesthetic with the custom tab bar at the bottom. I...
