This change means that it will be open to more developers and that these developers can change the language. It also means that people will continue to have access to the coding language should AAPL ever decided to switch to a new one. Developers that are interested in the language can download the raw language compiler, standard library and some pieces of Foundation. AppKit and UIKit are still only able to be used for Mac and iOS app development.

Band: Apple has filed a patent for a display inside the Apple Watch’s band, AppleInsider notes. The patent is titled “Woven Display” and it would do just what it sounds like it does. To achieve a display inside of the bands for its smartwatches, the company would weave light pipe fibers into the fabrics. This display would act as a way for owners of the devices to see basic information without having to activate their Watches. It could display the date, time and temperature, along with other pieces of information.
