AUV3 is the audio and midi plugin format on iOS/iPadOS - similar to desktop VSTs in form and function.

Occasionally someone uses it in a context that is extremely negative, but it still doesn’t offend me, it just exposes their ignorance and prejudices. It’s only because it has been allowed to exist that it has organically come to be expressed in a more positive light recently like “ghetto fabulous” and can stir a sense of camaraderie in people from there. Languages are organic, living things and should be treated as such and allowed to run their course, not be dictated by this small, over zealous group of social justice/pc warriors. My two cents
