In order to distribute apps via the web, you need to have had over 1,000,000 installs over the past year, but…

The Core Technology fee applies to apps with over 1,000,000 active installs.

That seems a little disingenuous.

I don’t understand why the widget stack displays the time and date so prominently.

If you can only access these widgets from the watch face, then you were just looking at the time, and probably the date.

Compared to modular, it takes twice the space to show the same info

Everything is just sort of on top of each other, without committting to an actual sense of layering


I’m not mad that watchOS 10 has changed the interface dramatically, I’m mad that all the changes feel arbitrary, and lack spacial consistency

The watch face is the primary interface for the watch, but is the secondary interface supposed to be widgets? Apps? Notification Centre?

Why does Control Centre get a dedicated button. Am I expected to interact with it more than widgets or apps?

One of the iOS 17 APIs I was most looking forward to was to receive direct input from Volume Button presses.

After trying to find any information about it at WWDC, I was just told more info would come later this year, and I assumed it related to the 15 Pro’s Action Button.

But there’s still no sign of that API, and so the janky workarounds remain.
