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? Continue reading →

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. Continue reading →

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. Continue reading →

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… Continue reading →

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. appleterm.com/2020/09/1… Continue reading →

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. appleinsider.com/articles/… Continue reading →

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. Continue reading →

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.

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. 😒

Funny for sure. But, tell me who uses GarageBand for serious Podcasts editing? What tools are they using? Apple’s Logic Pro X? Too bad you need to be a sound engineer to take advantage of it.
