## What Jamie wrote

Details on the improvements in the new version of visionOS. I've played around with this on my Vision Pro. Some reactions:

- New gestures are really good. Being able to bring the Home Screen without reaching up for the Digital Crown is great. Just look at your hand and a button appears to pinch. It does make me chuckle that they took the physical button off of the phone, and added a virtual button to visionOS.
- More native apps including Notes, Passwords, and others. However Calendar is still an iPad app. Ugh! Calendar needs to be native.
- Home Screen customization finally! I have four pages of apps in visionOS and they were in no worthwhile arrangement.
