iOS 14 Beta 4 is crap. There I said it.

Five gone, one to go. #apple

Apple is really not done with Intel in the Mac. It is clear to me that Apple Silicon will find its way in lower end machines first, certainly portable ones with today’s announcements.

Aside from the iMac updates coming out of Apple today, here is another (more important) news: Phil Schiller is now an Apple Fellow. That was not expected. People come and go. Mr. Schiller as done a lot for Apple. Time to (slowly) move on. I don’t like Greg “Joz” Jozwiak. Continue reading →

What Steve Jobs would have said… ?

Do you think Apple has plans already in place to allow for third-party payment systems on the App Store, just in case they are being forced to add these?

My guess is that it reflects a fact: Apple is not in a monopolistic position like the other three. www.cnbc.com Live: Big Tech testifies: Bezos promises action if investigation reveals misuse of seller data Continue reading →

Let’s see if Tim Cook is also a good politician. #apple #testimony #appstore

A byproduct of the coronavirus pandemic: traveling apps like Flighty won’t get my renewal this year. Sad for the developer. Really nice app. See you next year, maybe.

Highly doubtful that Apple already has the date set for the September Keynote in current context. Even more for October event. Take this with a grain of salt. ‘iPhone 12’ event Sept. 8 with ‘Apple Glass’ & Apple Silicon Mac reveal on Oct. 27, says leaker - Appleinsider

Is this really surprising? It’s not. Apple saw the virus coming - Philip Elmer‑DeWitt
