Design principles Explore fundamental principles that guide design across Apple platforms.	Designing for iOS People depend on their iPhone to help them stay connected, play games, view media, accomplish tasks, and track personal data in any location and while on the go.	Designing for iPadOS People value the power, mobility, and flexibility of iPad as they enjoy media, play games, perform detailed productivity tasks, and bring their creations to life.
Designing for macOS People rely on the power, spaciousness, and flexibility of a Mac as they perform in-depth productivity tasks, view media or content, and play games, often using several apps at once.	Designing for tvOS People enjoy the vibrant content, immersive experiences, and streamlined interactions that tvOS delivers in media and games, as well as in fitness, education, and home utility apps.	Designing for visionOS When people wear Apple Vision Pro, they enter an infinite 3D space where they can engage with your app or game while staying connected to their surroundings.
Designing for watchOS When people glance at their Apple Watch, they know they can access essential information and perform simple, timely tasks whether they’re stationary or in motion.	Designing for games When people play your game on an Apple device, they dive into the world you designed while relying on the platform features they love.	Designing for iPhone Duo An app designed for iPhone Duo adapts seamlessly to both displays, providing a continuous experience as the device opens and closes.
