Exactly. Apple usually avoid making announcements until they are 
certain that products will be ready for consumption. So being 
silent about Vulkan is business as usual. Apple don't do public

OSX apis. Probably happens now due the desktop GPU situation. We 
need to keep in mind that iOS units have different GPUs.
