TouchArcade Rating:I’m not sure it will surprise anyone that this week’s episode is all about WWDC. Well, ALMOST all about WWDC. We do talk about a few new games.

Apologies in advance if audio is a little weird, we had some minor technical issues that I tried pretty hard to fix in post. I only mention it because I’m a weirdo perfectionist. Don’t forget to shoot us emails

In addition to all the new features coming to Apple Arcade, Apple also showcased a plethora of what iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 will bring this year.

ARKit 4 includes extended face tracking support, location anchors that you can place, and video textures through RealityKit. I can’t wait

Brayden Gogis has been creating mobile apps since the second grade. Why do I know this? Because that bit of info was part of a “Meet the Developer" feature that Apple created about Brayden and his studio Chain Reaction games in January of this year to celebrate the release of his most recent game Solisquare (Free).
