Apple iPhone 16 and what that means for developers
In this episode of the Compile Swift Podcast, hosts Jeff and Peter discuss the recent Apple "Nine-Nine" event, discussing the latest hardware announcements and their implications for developers.

They also discuss the developer experience, including the built-in controls provided by Apple and the potential for creating custom controls. Additionally, they touch on the importance of understanding user needs when integrating new features into apps and the potential for future enhancements as Apple continues to evolve its technology.
