  • Interesting summary on Apple’s move to its own silicone for the Mac product line in light of recent Intel announcement of delays affecting 7nm chips. twitter.com/neilcybar…

  • If anyone had doubts on why Apple is transitioning to its own silicon for the Mac: Intel is (again) delaying it’s 7nm chips to… 2022 or 2023. www.tomshardware.com/news/inte…

  • After 14 major iOS release... and yet...

    Everybody is talking about Apple Music new icon since Beta 3 but, think about this: after 14 versions of iOS, and here we are: the “More” “button” lingering bad design. How many times I try to hit this and I bring the detail view of the app instead. Frustrating. Let me be clear: wrong place, too small, text overlapping, not a real button. Come on, Apple! My suggestion: add a “Details” button accessible when sliding the table cell to the left (the same gesture that reveals a Delete button). Continue reading →

  • The race for the bottom of everything

    On Apple’s 30% cut. Again. We all know where this all goes. Yesterday it was a deal. Today, 30% is way too much. So, let’s fight and try to force Apple to set the cut to 20%. No, 15%. That is way better, right? A few years down the road, a well known developer comes out and complain about 15% being way too much of a cut. Poor guy. Let’s start a fight and bring that down.

  • It is easy to forget what it was before the App Store and now complain about the 30% cut by Apple.

  • The iPad still held back with iPadOS 14

    iPadOS 15 concept imagined by Parker Ortolani certainly looks interesting. I’m not sure about some ideas put forward but it certainly shows how the iPad is still held back with iPadOS 14. The lack of flexibility in widgets placement is, put mildly, baffling. I love those widgets on my iPhone but the lack of space forces us to create tons of pages. And the problem will only get worst this fall after developers start adding widget support in their apps. Continue reading →

  • If blog post from Readdle’s is any indication, expect a LOT of widgets to be available when iOS 14 launch this fall. In fact, more widgets will be available than any number of home screen pages can accommodate. #ios14 readdle.com/blog/ios1…

  • Beta 3 will be like a fresh coat of paint.

  • Can’t wait for beta 3. Tomorrow. #ios14

  • Is TestFlight for iOS 14 widgets available yet?

  • When Apple was advertising their value for businesses, in a world where working from home wasn’t really a thing. twitter.com/vanlancke…

  • Well said. That is why I love Apple so much.

  • Interesting comparison between macOS Catalina & Big Sur system sounds. You don’t change something like this often. That is something new in Big Sur. I didn’t play long enough with Big Sur to notice. Apple did the same with iOS 7. www.youtube.com/channel/U…

  • This blog post on Apple’s latest betas pretty much sums it up for me. More to come in my own blog post about my own experience.

  • More than 1500 words to talk about going all in with Apple’s latest betas on my main devices. Your experience may vary but mine if mostly very good so far. Don’t do that at home, please.

  • Ten years ago — Antennagate

    Ten years ago today: Antennagate. Remember? It was an intense episode in Apple’s history. I didn’t own an iPhone 4. At that time, I was using my 3GS. I upgrade to the iPhone 4S in 2011. Time certainly flies. www.cultofmac.com/492086/to… Continue reading →

  • Here is a brilliant idea. My hope is for Apple to notice. twitter.com

  • Because of newly introduced folders support in iOS 14 Shortcuts, I made a spring cleanup. Now I’m down to what I actually need and use. #ios14 #apple

  • 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. www.macstories.net/stories/t… Continue reading →
