No trackers on Apple.com. Really?
After installing Safari 14 on macOS Catalina, I went on Apple.com to see what trackers would be reported. Unsurprisingly, Apple doesn’t use any trackers. Now, the big question: do you believe Apple doesn’t track its main website usage?

On Developer’s Questionable Choices with iOS 14 Widgets Design
There is something fundamentally wrong with the way iOS 14 widgets are being implemented by many developers. Here is a simple example. The popular Reddit client, Apollo, introduced widgets support, see the following picture. Now, how can a widget with two posts can be useful if you are following many subreddits with dozens of new posts each day? What is the point in doing that?

Thanks for spoiling today's #AppleEvent
A message to all official and less official Apple leakers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for spoiling today’s Apple event. Without you, I don’t know if I could have taken today’s announcements. You made a big difference, you showed to the world how indispensable you are. Apple must be proud of you guys, think about it. Special thanks to @LeaksApplePro, @jon_prosser, @Jioriku, @markgurman.

Warning: doom and gloom ahead. #AppleEvent
On the eve of #AppleEvent tomorrow, I can see a lot of deception on the horizon. The tag line is clear: it’s about time, or the watch. It’s not about the iPhone. It’s not about the Mac. It’s not about the Apple Silicon. It’s about the iPad and the watch. A weird combinaison if you ask me. These updated iPad should be launched with a press release IMHO but Apple needs some stuff to fill the event schedule I guess.

For what reason do we pay Apple for?
Man I still miss him. Steve Jobs had a way of making his point so damn clear. You could disagree with him, but I least you knew what he was trying to say. No bullshit. Plain and simple. Boom. twitter.com/robcorean…

Apple Card, Apple Cash in Canada soon?
Can’t wait for this to come over here, in Canada 🇨🇦. One question though: would this mean Apple Cash would also come with it? They both look tied together for cash backs. Am I right? I don’t expect this to come out on next week apple event, but eventually in 2020 - 2021 timeframe.

After Tim Cook
Having discussions about what comes next after Tim Cook is only a good thing. There is nothing to worry about this. That being said, I can see someone like Greg Joswiak to take over. I’m a bit tired of people in the ops field to lead Apple.

Not too fast, people, not too fast
Following the #AppleEvent announcement yesterday, I saw many comments about a possible schedule of events this fall. Many of them are putting the release of the Apple Silicon Mac in October.
There is no way this is going to happen that early. macOS Big Sur is still at Beta 3. Developers are hard at work adding support for widgets and other iOS 14 stuff. I would expect iOS 14 to be released at the end of September. iOS 14.1 will come out in beta at the beginning of October in order to support the new iPhone shipping later in October.
Now back to the Mac. I expect Big Sur to be released at the very end of October if not November. The actual Apple Silicon Mac will probably be announced at a different moment than the iPhone. Apple doesn’t like to mixed up things in their keynote. The actual shipping date could be at the very end of the year, just in time to catch the ramp up of the A14X production rumored to be starting in Q4.
In summary: Apple Silicon Mac to be released late in 2020.

A short beta cycle for iOS 14
Following @Gruber hypothetical September schedule: Tuesday 15 September: Event. Friday 18 September: Preorders start. Monday-Tuesday 21-22. September: Reviews drop — Apple Watch on one day, iPad Air on the other. Thursday 24 September: New OSes released via Software Update. Friday 25 September: Products ship to customers and stores.
My guess is that we will get beta 8 this week followed by GM next week. Even if there is another beta after that (beta 9), this would be the shortest beta cycle for any major iOS release. daringfireball.net/2020/09/a…

How much more powerful an Apple Silicon ship will be in an iMac which is never running on batteries…? It will be interesting to compare the internals of these upcoming machines to their Intel counterparts.

Looks like something is happening tomorrow after all. But, let’s face it, a press release for an updated Apple Watch should tell us to lower our expectations.

Have you ever carefully looked at Apple Leadership page? Tell me what’s wrong. Nah, I’m going to tell you: who in charge of Design? Is it a bit weird that, following Jony Ive departure, Apple leadership page is still missing someone for the design side? I think so.

Sure EPIC is suffering real harm… because of its own wrong doing. Duh.

Is Apple bending towards Facebook? Not a good day for privacy protection. 😒
