What comes before the right to repair? (#apple #righttorepair)
The next step for Apple is to design for repairability which goes beyond recycling. AirPods are the worst example of this. When the battery life on these is reached, there is no practical way to replace them without throwing it to the trash and buying a new one. So for me, the right to repair goes way beyond having a choice of where Iām going to take a device for repair. Continue reading ā

The Touch Bar is a great example of a divisive feature. I love the Touch Bar. Poll: Do you think Apple should kill the MacBook’s Touch Bar? - 9to5Mac

The more we wait for beta 4, the more chance we will get a step back for Safari redesign. Thatās my guess.

If you depend on automation shortcuts and use shortcuts in general on iOS 15 & iPadOS 15, youāll quickly realize that any advance Apple made in Notifications are ruined by Shortcuts generated notifications. Those notifications should be treated separately.

Maybe Apple should sell iPhone without any operating system, that way, everyone is equal. Iād love to build my own kernel because I think it would be the best but since Apple is bundling one, Iām seriously disadvantaged. How is this even allowed?

The power of iPadOS 15: setting up a workspace made of four apps with a simple shortcut from the home screen. So cool. šØš»āš»š¤

The return of the Touch ID?
A recent poll ran by 9To5Mac gives surprising results about what people would like to see if Touch Id is to return to the iPhone. Touch ID under the screen wins popular favour… personally, I would prefer Touch ID to go on the power button, just like the iPad Air because it is easily accessible while holding the phone.

Here is some relief for Safari 15 users who hate the new designā¦ (#ios15beta2 #apple)
For those like me who despise Safari redesign in iPadOS 15 & iOS 15: here is simple trick to better cope with Safari redesign: keep the number of open tab to ONE. Why do you think Apple thought it was a good idea to include a āClose Other Tabsā in the popup menu while pressing the address bar? With on,y one tab open, this is close to what we had before.

Every few days, I go on the Apple Store app to configure a 12.9ā 2021 iPad Pro with 512 GB just to confirm delivery date estimates. Iām crazy.

Apple in a weakness positionā¦
I keep thinking of this phrase from Phil Schiller who once said: “whenever we make a change we do it from a position of strength rather than weakness.”. The window has closed a long time ago for Apple and they find themselves in a weakness position. I thought Mr. Schiller was still partly involved in the App Store related decisions.

Letās pretend there is side-loading of apps on the iPhone, then what?
InitialCharge: The only one that stands to lose anything in this scenario is Apple and thatās why theyāre doing everything they can to convince us that side-loading is inherently bad. But theyāre wrong.Source: Appleās Head of Privacy Doubles Down on Anti-Sideloading Stance - Initial Charge I’m a bit late on this one but, let say Apple does go ahead and allow for side loading of apps. Besides the proliferation of App Stores, what will we get in this scenario that we donāt get today? Continue reading ā

Pleaseā¦ stopā¦ usingā¦ ellipsisā¦ for gods sake (#apple #ux #design #iosdev)
In the following screenshot taken this morning on my iPad screen, how many ellipsis signs to you catch? I highlighted them for you to make it easier. To all developers, to all designers, to Apple: please, stop this shit NOW and find a better way, use your imagination, stop being lazy at design. Thank you. Continue reading ā

Public beta, already? That was fast. (#ios15publicbeta #ios15beta2) If my experience is any indication, I wouldnāt install that on an iPhone, if itās the only device a user have.

On Appleās Hybrid work model ā Appleās employees to become targets?
Dave Mark for LoopInsight: Did the pandemic make a foundational change to the way we think about where we do our jobs? Or was this a blip, with a slow slide back to the old ways? I certainly hope that we wonāt return massively to the old days. For Apple, it looks like the pandemic was a blip and employees will need to be back at the office at least three days a week.

Reading this story of the original iPhone demo Steve Jobs did, 14 years ago, using a barely working iPhone prototype, makes you realize how far weāve come. Man, time flies.

With iPadOS 15, the more home pages you create on the iPad, the more youāll wish Apple made a āhome page switcherā just like the āapp switcherā. Maybe I should file a feedback report. š§

Thought of the day: for me, Appleās Widgets are more transformative to the iPad experience than they were to the iPhone, by far.

I made many updates to my Apple-centric rumours micro website which happens to be made entirely with Craft. Enjoy.
