Interesting take by @gruber on Apple’s position regarding Microsoft’s xCloud. My take: it’s about control AND money. The former makes it easier to get the latter. daringfireball.net/2020/08/a…
Wondering something about a possible incursion of the nano-texture glass on a future iPad Pro. Would this be compatible with the use of the Apple Pencil? I wish it will be.
Wishing for similar performance improvements when Apple Silicon hits the iMac line. Coupled with the rumoured redesign, the first since 2012, I’m already salivating. #apple #imac2021 #applesilicon
Great take from @drbarnard on Apple’s App Store issues
Here is a great take on Apple’s App Store issues by @drbarnard. To me, the key is for Apple to change its mindset from working too hard on the lock-in to working on the experience quality (tweet #10 in the thread) and let the users decide.
If you are not on iOS 14 beta 4, hold off and wait for Beta 5. I do experience the same issues exposed in this Twitter thread. Very buggy release. It reminds me of iOS 13 betas. #ios14beta4 #apple
On Apple's latest iMac update
Great reviews on the latest iMac update. As a serious amateur photographer, the thing that stands out to me is the new nano glass option. At 500$ it is not cheap but reviewers are liking it a lot. Could this option eventually come to the iPad Pro? Or the iPhone? I would pay a premium for this on the iPad Pro.
Now, why the 21.5” iMac has not been updated is a mystery to me. I currently own a max-out 2017 21.5” iMac. The size of this machine is better for me, but I would prefer a 24”. Could this mean the lower size iMac will be the first desktop to receive the Apple Silicon treatment as well a the long overdue redesign? I think so.
How Long Apple can stand like this?
On Apple’s stance on its App Store policies.
Developers are complaining. The tech press is complaining. Governments are complaining. Now Microsoft is complaining. And Facebook too.
Google? Are users complaining? I don’t see that. Does it make a big difference for Apple?
How long Apple can stand like this?
Am I surprised? Nope. Actually, yes, I thought meeting time would have increased much more.
Dear Apple, you are (again) painting yourself in another form of thermal cornor. Back off while you can. I know, saving your face ain’t easy. #apple #appstore
iOS 14 Beta 4 is crap. There I said it.
