Prices and mortgage rates are climbing as Wall Street bets that interest rates will remain higher for longer.

Housing gloom
The higher-for-longer inflation predicament has hit the U.S. housing market like a thunderbolt. Home prices and mortgage rates are climbing again, dashing hopes that financing costs would fall this year and adding another economic question that could hang over the presidential election campaign.
More economists are paring their bets that the Fed will cut rates after the latest Consumer Price Index report.On Thursday, Goldman Sachs forecast two rate cuts (instead of three) this year; Bank of America and Deutsche Bank shifted from two cuts to one. They all argue that sticky inflation will force the Fed to keep borrowing costs higher for longer.
That would leave open the possibility that the Fed’s prime lending rates stays at, or close to, 5.5 percent, the highest in decades, through the spring and summer house-buying season. “March inflation figures were very bad, which also means bad news for interest rates,” Lawrence Yun, an economist at the National Association of Realtors, said after the C.P.I. report.
Housing volatility typifies the paradoxical U.S. economy. The country is growing faster than many peers, but voters are zeroing in on inflation to explain their disapproval of President Biden’s handling of the economy. (Some DealBook readers in recent days have emailed to say that they’re strongly feeling the pain of housing inflation.)
Biden is aware of the affordability problem. In the State of the Union address last month, he proposed $10,000 tax credits for first-time buyers and for homeowners who sell their “starter homes.” Also, a 6 percent agent’s commission fee — one of the world’s highest — is likely to go away after a landmark legal settlement.
Still, house prices are chugging higher. A dearth of new homes and a surge in demand for a more spacious dwelling that fits a work-from-home lifestyle have pushed the average price of a new home to $485,000 — up from $357,000 in 2021.

Last month, Apple confirmed that iOS 17.4 would remove support for Home Screen web apps in the European Union. At the time, Apple said this decision was due to requirements under the Digital Markets Act related to support for alternative browser engines on iPhone.
\n\n\n\n
Apple is now walking back that decision and says it will “continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU.”
\n\n\n\n
Home Screen web apps are here to stay
\n\n\n\n
Apple’s decision to remove Home Screen web apps, also known as progressive web apps or PWAs, faced a lot of criticism. The Open Web Advocacy organization, for example, said “entire categories of apps will no longer be viable on the web as a result” of the change. There were also reports the EU was going to investigate the decision.
\n\n\n\n
At the time, Apple explained that it would have to build an “entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS” to address the “complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps using alternative browser engines.” This, the company said, “was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps.”
\n\n\n\n
With today’s announcement, Apple has reversed course and said that Home Screen web apps will continue to exist as they did pre-iOS 17.4 in the European Union. “This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS,” Apple explains today.
\n\n\n\n
This means that all Home Screen web apps will still be powered by WebKit, regardless of whether the web app is added using Safari or not – exactly as it works today and has for years.
\n\n\n\n
Here is Apple’s full statement:
\n\n\n\n
\n
Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove the capability was informed by the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps to support alternative browser engines that would require building a new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS.
\n\n\n\n
We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU. This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS.
\n\n\n\n
Developers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March.
\n
\n\n\n\n
Apple is adding this update to its Developer website on Friday, while also keeping the initial explanation there out of full transparency.
\n\n\n\n
9to5Mac’s Take
\n\n\n\n\n\t
To me, this is an example of the vagueness of the Digital Markets Act. Reading between the lines, it sounds like Apple thought it couldn’t offer WebKit-powered Home Screen apps in the European Union because of the DMA’s guidelines on browser equality.
\n\n\n\n
Apple clearly interpreted the guidelines as meaning it had to offer PWA support for alternative browser engines in order to keep offering the feature for Safari and WebKit.
\n\n\n\n
In the two weeks since the initial announcement, and the associated pushback, Apple came to the realization – one way or another – that it was mistaken. Whatever the backstory is, I’m glad Apple listened to the feedback and reversed course on this one.
