Hey readers! It’s time for another issue of Swipe, which also means it’s time for me to try and link everything inside to the theme on the cover. This month it’s space exploration, so let’s start with the obvious: a fantastic interview with the makers of Star Walk, one of the iPhone’s all-time great stargazing apps.
What other kinds of space are we exploring? Well, there are guides to iPadOS 26’s new multitasking features, giving you more space to play with as you get used to the iPad’s window system. And there’s plenty of talk about the iPhone Air, which barely takes up any space at all — from rigorous bend tests to our suspicion that it might just be a public R&D project for Apple.
On the subject of futuristic exploration, we’ve also got the scoop on the new immersive films headed to Vision Pro this year. And our main roundup? It’s about catching up with your friends which… okay, I admit, doesn’t really tie into the theme at all.
All that and more in this issue — enjoy!
