Could Swift/etc not account for 90% of this right out of the box? Like is there a reason the OS can't just override and say "now fill in the rest of the screen". I'm sure it would break some UI UX but that has to be better than this experience. And it would incentivize developers to fix it WAY faster
Calling it now, app store ecosystems are going to feel like they used to feel WAY back in the day. 40 different YouTube clients, 40 different Reddit clients, etc etc. Doesn't matter what YouTube or Reddit think about it either lol

if steve jobs saw you reserving 15% screen width for a single icon and then putting a left side arrow back button on the unreachable right side of the screen he would've personally taken you behind a dumpster and beat you with a metal pipe
It iss stuff like this that really seals the deal for me that Apple is on its way out (albeit slowly). Imagine launching such an enormous product, with such a notable feature (pencil support), and not having it ready at launch. Steve's Apple never did stuff like this.
Did you know Luma's music app Tide ships with navidrome/subsonic support? Did you know you can run it on Android, MacOS and Windows?
Luma on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is that much closer. I am fully confident we can build the best OS for a foldable.
The world is ready for a third option. Luma is here to step up and fill that void!
Linux phones: could they finally become a real alternative to Android and iOS?
After years of stagnation, Linux phones may be approaching a turning point.
In a recent article, Amos Batto explains how new hardware options, more mature interfaces like Phosh and Plasma Mobile, and tools such as Waydroid could make Linux phones more practical.
But better technology alone won’t be enough.
Projects like PINE64 and Purism have faced serious challenges. Building a phone is one thing; funding software development, maintaining hardware support and keeping a company afloat are much harder.
Jolla’s latest phone also suggests there is a market for alternatives, particularly among people who want more control over their devices.
Linux phones don’t need to replace Android or iOS to matter. They need to become a practical option for people who value privacy, software freedom and digital sovereignty.
Would you consider switching to a Linux phone if it supported the apps and features you rely on every day?
