With iPadOS 14, Apple mades a lot of improvements to the Calendar app which makes me reconsider the use of Readdle’s Calendar alternative. The reason is mainly because of the new Sidebar. Decision, decision, decision. #iPadOS14

Viticci on iPadOS 14 - when iPadOS is Influenced by macOS #iPadOS14

Good insights by Federico Viticci of MacStories about iPadOS 14. One theme stands out: with iPadOS 14, Apple is no longer taking it’s inspiration from the iPhone but from macOS to push the iPad in its very distinct path.

Exhibit A: the Sidebar in applications like Music, Photos, Files. Exhibit B: the redesigned Search bar.

Still to be improved, though: multitasking. Next year.

« Don’t assume discreet GPU always offer better performance » #apple #applesilicon

I’m one of those who was thinking discreet GPU would provide much better performance. When watching Apple’s transition to Apple Silicon, I asked myself about discreet GPU options in future Macs. This article goes on to report that not only integrated GPU (thanks to SoC) will be faster, it could be easier to support and help Apple reduce costs. Apple never offered discreet GPU in iPad Pro. Why would it be different with Apple Silicon-based Mac? Will future Mac support external GPU? Probably but performance gain will be marginal.

ARM Mac graphics performance could beat discrete GPUs - 9to5Mac
