Here it is! What's New in UIKit in iOS 26.

This was a pretty mammoth undertaking, and it shows – a whopping 64 minute read!

I'll be keeping this article up to date over the beta cycle. Possibly littered with errors. Shout at me if I've made any stupid mistakes.

I had to _slightly_ change my approach, adjusting the top contentInset instead of layoutMargins for the header inset, but this was largely plug and play.

I also added fractional content offset logic so that when the bounds of the scroll view changes, the content offset adapts to ensure the scroll view is roughly scrolled to the same position.

A little late to the game, but I've started working on Duet's iPhone Duo layout. Namely, the Memory view.

Quite happy with how this experiment worked out, time to bring it into the project and iron out all the edge cases I've inevitably forgotten about...

This feels tone-deaf from Ternus. Apple’s software quality has taken a nose dive in recent years. SpringBoard is riddled with UI bugs and glitches on their $2000 foldable — a device which should set the standard for its product category.

The last thing the SWE org needs to do is “speed up”.

A lesson in why you should probably just use system components…
