This title put me into one mindset, which was not at all the right one for the article. At least, I don't think so. I think there exists interaction outside of the Apple ecosystem.

First, I think you probably have to have read and understood this prerequisite article about Marzipan - https://blog.iconfactory.com/2019/05/what-to-expect-from-marzipan/

Then, you probably have to live, breathe and dream within the Apple ecosystem.

Then you can read this article about plans and musings about what might come to pass, particularly with Apple's plans to enter augmented reality (AR).

I would suggest that we will not correctly predict the "future" of interaction until it becomes the present, but I do think thoughtful attempts to create great new experiences through technology are interesting.

Also see Craig Hockenberry piece, for more on the implications of all this for developers and designers: http://blog.iconfactory.com/2016/04/looking-at-the-future/

One of his key points: As a developer, you’ll quickly realize that the scope of these changes will make your update to Retina graphics look like a walk in the park.

Craig is also currently working on a book “that helps you understand color in laymen’s terms, use color management with step-by-step instructions for popular apps like Photoshop, and guides you with the work necessary to create great looking web and native apps.”

Thanks for the link @wmf.

I took a look at the front page of iconfactory.com which is the site where the book author posted this:

http://blog.iconfactory.com/2016/12/making-sense-of-color-management/

It looks like they aren't demonstrating a least common denominator fix there. This is understandable, as least common denominator probably doesn't look great for most modern icons.

Might still buy the book. Just did the screenshot as a quick study.
