Confidential Innovation Proposal.Inquiry About Formal Communication Channel
I am writing to express interest in engaging with Apple regarding a highly original and commercially relevant concept related to future iPhone innovation. Given the confidential and proprietary nature of this idea, I am not in a position to share details through an open inquiry or standard feedback form. I would welcome the opportunity to present this concept through an official and formal communication channel that ensures appropriate confidentiality and professional evaluation, should Apple have an established process for external innovation or partnership discussions. Please advise if there is a suitable point of contact or procedure for initiating such a conversation in accordance with Apple’s policies. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me though my email or phone Regards Tahmeed Hossain Contact: +880 1781882730

Section Header Overlaps with Cell Text in Plain List Style on iOS 26
Hi everyone, I've noticed that on iOS 26 beta 1 through beta 4, when using a List with the .plain style, the section header overlaps with the cell content below it, as there is no background for the header. This creates a poor visual experience. Additionally, when using NavigationSplitView on iPad, the second column's list always shows this issue. Is this an intentional design change, or just a temporary issue? I haven't found a good workaround so far. Thanks! FB19066489

Question about the platform parameter in device registration
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/devicecreaterequest/data-data.dictionary/attributes-data.dictionary According to the API documentation above, the parameter values for platform can be three: IOS, MAC-OS, and UNIVERSAL. After debugging, it was found that IOS and MAC-OS can be used normally, but UNIVERSAL encountered an error UNIVERSAL' is not a valid value for the attribute 'platform'. Expected one of: 'IOS', 'MAC_OS', I would like to know if this value has been deprecated or if the API interface requires new version support, and how to use this value! Please help me solve it! thank you!

CarPlay navigation issue, maximum depth
Hi everyone, I am working on a CarPlay integration, and need open a two level list opened from a root template. However, I am always receiving an error message when opening the 2nd pushed template. To narrow it down not to have an issue with some app specific code I created the CarPlay scene below. I am aware that there is a limit, but two levels I understand are supported on all CarPlay integrations, the maximum seems to be 5. The app is just crashing right after showing the 2nd template. Any ideas? Any hints are much appreciated. Thanks a lot! Regards, Michael class CarPlaySceneDelegate2: UIResponder, CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate { // [...] private func createRootTemplate() -> CPListTemplate { let pushToAItem = CPListItem(text: "Push to Template A", detailText: "Level 1 → Level 2") pushToAItem.handler = {[weak self] (pushToAItem, completion) in guard let self = self else { completion() return } self.interfaceController?.pushTemplate( self.pushTemplateA(), animated: true, completion: { (didPresent, error) in completion() } ) } let section = CPListSection(items: [pushToAItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Root Template", sections: [section]) return template } private func pushTemplateA() -> CPListTemplate { let pushToBItem = CPListItem(text: "Push to Template B", detailText: "Level 2 → Level 3") pushToBItem.handler = {[weak self] (pushToBItem, completion) in guard let self = self else { completion() return } self.interfaceController?.pushTemplate( self.pushTemplateB(), animated: true, completion: { (didPresent, error) in completion() } ) } let backToRootItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop to Root", detailText: "Go back to root") backToRootItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popToRootTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion(); } let infoItem = CPListItem(text: "Current Depth", detailText: "2 (Template A)") let stackCountItem = CPListItem( text: "Stack Count", detailText: "\((interfaceController?.templates.count ?? 0) + 1)" ) let section = CPListSection(items: [pushToBItem, backToRootItem, infoItem, stackCountItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Template A", sections: [section]) return template } private func pushTemplateB() -> CPListTemplate { let pushToCItem = CPListItem(text: "Push to Template C", detailText: "Level 3 → Level 4") pushToCItem.handler = {[weak self] (pushToCItem, completion) in guard let self = self else { completion() return } self.interfaceController?.pushTemplate( self.pushTemplateC(), animated: true, completion: { (didPresent, error) in completion() } ) } let backToRootItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop to Root", detailText: "Go back to root") backToRootItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popToRootTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let popOneItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop One", detailText: "Go back to Template A") popOneItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let infoItem = CPListItem(text: "Current Depth", detailText: "3 (Template B)") let stackCountItem = CPListItem( text: "Stack Count", detailText: "\((interfaceController?.templates.count ?? 0) + 1)" ) let section = CPListSection(items: [pushToCItem, popOneItem, backToRootItem, infoItem, stackCountItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Template B", sections: [section]) return template } private func pushTemplateC() -> CPListTemplate { let backToRootItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop to Root", detailText: "Go back to root") backToRootItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popToRootTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let popOneItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop One", detailText: "Go back to Template B") popOneItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let infoItem = CPListItem(text: "Current Depth", detailText: "4 (Template C)") let stackCountItem = CPListItem( text: "Stack Count", detailText: "\((interfaceController?.templates.count ?? 0) + 1)" ) let section = CPListSection(items: [popOneItem, backToRootItem, infoItem, stackCountItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Template C", sections: [section]) return template } }

Should we design for Liquid Glass on visionOS?
Liquid Glass was introduced as a universal design language for all platforms, but isn't supported by visionOS 26 beta. For a small team creating a visionOS app targeted for release in fall 2026, should we focus our design work on Liquid Glass, or for the existing visionOS design language?

New in SF Symbols 7: ipod.and.vision.pro.
Why? Why stop there? (Why not ipod.and.imacg3? applenewton.and.vision.pro?) I get why the older ipod symbols exist but these new pairings are odd. If anyone ever sees these restricted symbols in the wild, or even just someone using a Vision Pro and an iPod (Touch) together in a way that's not contrived, please do let me know!

Liquid Glass Navigation Bar
The system provided liquid glass background looks terrible with my companies navigation bar background color. The navigation background color is not up for discussion and cannot be changed. The clear liquid glass style looks great and I can apply that to buttons I add to the navigation bar, but that doesn't effect the system provided back button. I would prefer to maintain the default back button functionality. Please make it possible to set the liquid glass style that the system provides for navigation bar items.

SwiftUI Menu label: How to center an icon inside a circle?
Hi Everyone. Can you help me with my settings icon design. I'm trying to create a circular settings button using Menu. My code here: struct MenuView: View { var body: some View { Menu { Text("Hello") Text("How are you") } label: { Image(systemName: "gearshape.fill") .clipShape(Circle()) } .clipShape(Circle()) .padding(.top, 10) .padding(.leading, 20) } } You can see my try, this one looks wrong. It should be like this: Just Circle with setting image inside. Thank you an advance 😭🙏🛐

Proposal: Capacitive swipe-based volume control integrated into iPhone frame
I would like to propose a design enhancement for future iPhone models: using the existing bottom-right antenna line (next to the power button area) as a capacitive “volume control zone” that supports swipe gestures. Today this line is a structural antenna break, but it is also located exactly where the thumb naturally rests when holding the phone in one hand. With a small embedded capacitive/force sensor, the user could slide their finger along this zone to control volume without reaching for the physical buttons. Why this makes sense: • Perfect ergonomic thumb position in both portrait and landscape • One-handed volume adjustment becomes easier for large-screen devices • Silent and frictionless vs. clicking buttons (useful in meetings / night mode) • Consistent with Apple’s recent move toward contextual hardware input (Action Button, Capture Button, Vision Pro gestures) The interaction model would be: • Swipe up → increase volume • Swipe down → decrease volume • (Optional) long-press haptic = mute toggle This could also enhance accessibility, especially for users with reduced hand mobility who struggle to press mechanical buttons on tall devices. Technically, this would be similar to the Capture Button (capacitive + pressure layers), but linear instead of pressure-based. It does not replace physical buttons, it complements them as a silent gesture-based alternative. Thank you for considering this as a future interaction refinement for iPhone hardware design.

Add a “Close All” button on iPhone background Apps
Hello Apple Team, I’d like to request a feature that allows users to close all background apps at once on iPhones. Currently, closing each app individually can be time-consuming, especially when many are running. A “Close All” button would greatly improve user experience and efficiency. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Liquid Glass material behaviour question
I have two views I've applied Liquid Glass to in Swift UI. I've noticed that depending on the height of the view the material changes and I'm not sure why. See the attached screenshot. Both views add the liquidGlass style in the same way but behave very differently on the same background. Ideally I'd like them to look the same as the bottom one. Is that the same as the clear style?

With the code below, JSON data is parsed and is stored in the variable data in the .onAppear function, however an empty set of data is passed to the Content view. How can that be fixed so that the JSON data passes to the DataView? struct ContentView: View { @State var data: [Data] @State var index: Int = 0 var body: some View { VStack { DataView(data: data[index]) } .onAppear { let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "data", ofType: "json") let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath!) data = getData(url: url) } } func getData(url: URL) -> [Data] { do { let data = try Data(contentsOf: url) let jsonDecoded = try JSONDecoder().decode([Data].self, from: data) return jsonDecoded } catch let error as NSError { print("Fail: \(error.localizedDescription)") } catch { print("Fail: \(error)") } return [] } }

iOS 26 Beta 7 double-tap to select text while in Dark Mode makes it very difficult to see what you're selecting. This has been an issue since Beta 1 and seems like intended behavior.
This has been an issue since installing the first beta and I haven't seen anyone else say anything about it so I feel like I'm going kind of bonkers. While using Dark Mode, double-tapping to select a word while using the Liquid Glass keyboard, like in Messages or Safari, produces a flashlight-like effect over the text with each tap. While this is a fine animation and pretty helpful when moving the cursor, the brightness of the flashlight effect on white text in Dark Mode makes it impossible to see what you're actually tapping to select. The brightness seems to intensify 100x when rapidly tapping. This is not an issue in Light Mode when the text itself is black. To recreate this, just turn your phone to Dark Mode, go into Messages and type a few words into a thread. Try to double-tap to select a word in the text box. The brightness of the selected word should intensify to the point of being unable to see the word itself. Has anyone been bothered by this? Is there a way to fix or adjust it? I've tried reducing transparency and a bunch of other settings but nothing has worked.

CarPlay iOS 26 - CPListSection header scrolling issue
With iOS 26 the CPListSection header has a transparent background, and when the list scrolls under the header it doesn't look good at all. We expected to see a glass fading effect maybe, like the one on the top of the screen. Is it a known bug?
