Dynamic Typography & Adaptive Layouts in iOS 11
summary
iOS 11 adds concrete APIs and workflows: custom Dynamic Type via UIFontMetrics, system font variants, and a Control Center size slider. The presenter demonstrates a working table cell that flips a horizontal layout to vertical when text categories overflow, shows custom fonts tapped into Dynamic Type, and shares a small "textile" factory pattern that defers UIFont creation. Claim: the platform is finally ready for real adaptive layouts; the demos and code examples prove the approach works in practice.
