WWDC 2026 Predictions Report Card: What Apple Actually Shipped
Before WWDC 2026 I wrote down predictions and never hit publish. Four months later, with iOS 27 out and iPhone Duo days away, it's time to grade them against what Apple actually shipped.
I've been building software since 2011, specializing in iOS development. I've worked extensively with Objective-C, Swift, and React Native, and have dabbled in web development with Node, React, and Next.js. I enjoy projects to improve DX and love building and optimizing custom CI/CD pipelines.
Based in Fort Myers, Florida, and I enjoy travel, finance, and all things technology. Oh, and I chronically install day-one iOS betas on my personal devices!
Before WWDC 2026 I wrote down predictions and never hit publish. Four months later, with iOS 27 out and iPhone Duo days away, it's time to grade them against what Apple actually shipped.
App Store Connect now takes iPhone Duo screenshots, with separate sizes for the inner and outer displays. Here are the exact dimensions, how to capture them in the simulator, and when Apple starts requiring them.
When two windows share iPhone Duo's inner display, neither one is told which side it's on. I built a proof of concept in Xcode 27.1 and found the fold's ReservedRegion answers it, once you know its frame is clipped to your window.
Use CameraCaptureAccessory to show a scrolling teleprompter on iPhone Duo's outer display while the rear camera records, in SwiftUI and UIKit.
