Now that’s an interesting tidbit! That would not surprise me terribly.
OK. I’ve had a chance to watch this video (link below). I’m not sure I am as optimistic as this iReviews guy is that we’re going to see some of these features in the upcoming betas. He is basing much of his take on the rumored features (mainly from
@Analyst941) that did not actually show up, hypothesizing that all of the Apple developers were working on the VisionPro and now that that has been revealed, they now have time to work on these rumored but undelivered features.
First, we should take any rumor that originated with
@Analyst941 as being presumptively false unless corroborated by another source (Gurman, in particular). Apple appears to have fed @analyst941’s source at least some, if not all, misinformation in an effort to determine the source of leaks.
Secondly, its not like all the Apple software engineers breathed a huge sigh of relief at the end of the keynote and said “now we can create all those features for iOS that we wanted to but couldn’t”. This stuff takes time.
Now, is it possible, they had some of these features mostly baked and have used the last week to put the final touches on them so they could be delivered in beta 2 (or beta 3)? Sure, it is definitely possible. But I would not bet the farm on it.
