You can definitely hack iOS all you want to, use private APIs, do all sorts of things that are against the App Store rules, run it on your own device and publish the code to GitHub to let other hackers compile it and run it from source. iPhone enthusiasts Stephen Hackett (his real name), hack into pre-release versions of iOS all of the time to see how it’s running from their computer. Even that 1986 6th grade hacker…

Do tell me how I can run my own home screen, directly access the filesystem, write my own device driver or tweak the kernel without voiding my warranty and risking bricking my phone using a jailbreak exploit, assuming one is available for my device. This "you can build and directly deploy an app to a limited number of devices if you're on the developer program and have a mac, therefore you can 'hack iOS all you want'…

3.5k device that's locked down into some iOS like Apple walled garden doesn't sound like backers playground to me.

Other playgrounds have boundaries far out , and comes with a huge combinatorial explosion of possibility.

Yah, its very easy to get confused by them chopping all the sessions up for the conference. It was a little frothy but my understanding now is Gaze is provided in both MR modes known as Bound and Unbound volumes. So look and click works fine. In bound volume you don't get head or hand pose or room geometry. In the Fully immersed VR mode you don't have gaze data for understandable privacy reasons although room geometr…

I don't think that tweet thread addresses gaze in particular? Is there a particular tweet I should be looking at or is it just asserting the (absolutely correct) assertion that it's confusing? --- I'm specifically talking about the "Bring your Unity VR app to a fully immersive space" WWDDC talk, which claimed to be built on Metal and ArKit, and had a very very brief demo in it talking about gaze, screenshot here: htt…

New opportunities for abuse do exist with Vision Pro. If you allowed free reign access to the sensors people could record the inside of your house/work, capture your face, fingerprints, retinal pattern etc. And again with Objective-C it's impossible to prevent private API usage unless you have some sort of App Store model which can inspect the binaries and prevent abuse. So it's ultimately going to be the same as iOS…

> If you allowed free reign access to the sensors people could record the inside of your house/work, capture your face, fingerprints, retinal pattern etc. Yes, yes they could. That's not and shouldn't be Apple's problem. That's your workplace's problem to regulate how the device is used on-site, the government's problem to regulate how it can be used in public, your household's problem on how it can be used in privat…
