« Don’t assume discreet GPU always offer better performance » #apple #applesilicon
I’m one of those who was thinking discreet GPU would provide much better performance. When watching Apple’s transition to Apple Silicon, I asked myself about discreet GPU options in future Macs. This article goes on to report that not only integrated GPU (thanks to SoC) will be faster, it could be easier to support and help Apple reduce costs. Apple never offered discreet GPU in iPad Pro. Why would it be different with Apple Silicon-based Mac? Continue reading →

A Visual Comparison of Catalina & Big Sur - Who Wins? #apple #macOS11
Excellent visual comparison between macOS Catalina and Big Sur (see link below). Here are a few observations: Big Sur design is a step back in clrity in many areas. Ex.: Icons and segmented controls in top portion of windows. More padding around items lists. I’m not sure why. I prefer Catalina’s version. Dark Mode is slightly better looking in Big Sur. Battery panel in Settings is horrible. Gone are popup alerts at the top of windows, they now look to be centered within window content and movable. Continue reading →

Oh boy, as much as iOS 14 beta 1 is rock solid, I cannot say the same thing about Big Sur. I’m kind of liking its new visual look… kind of. It will grow on me over time, like many things Apple is doing. #apple #ios14beta1 #macosbigsur

I like Michael Flarup balanced take on Apple’s redesign of macOS Big Sur and what this could mean from now on. Coming from this guy, it could mean a lot. #apple #macosbigsur The Comeback of Fun in Visual Design

With iOS 14, expect a massive amount of widgets being released. More than enough. All developers are competing to get your iPhone home screen space. #apple #ios14

The next steps in testing Apple’s new stuff is to install macOS Big Sur on an external drive connected to my 2017 iMac. Next, following reactions and comments on beta 2 later this week, I may jump on iPadOS 14 for my iPad.

Does this mean that we won’t get the top-of-the-window alerts anymore? That’s kind of sad actually, a step back in usability for the sake of visual consistency across platforms? mjtsai.com

Which Mac will go first to ARM? My take. #apple #armmac #applesilicon
Which Mac will transition first to Apple Silicon? Will Apple start with the desktop or the portables? That is the question. I would say, the desktop, but… On the first Mac to be converted to ARM: my bet goes on the Mac mini, a lower volume, utility orientated machine for the Mac enthusiasts. Next, the iMac redesign where any perf discrepancies with the MacBook is more easily explanable (desktop versus laptop, you know). Continue reading →

Poor advertisers... thanks to Apple’s iOS 14.
They are the ones who will suffer the most from Apple’s iOS 14. Good for them. If they want to show ads, the burden of finding new ways is on them, not on Apple’s shoulders or on ours. In other words: fuck them. European advertisers critical of iOS 14 warning users about ad tracking - Appleinsider Continue reading →

Widgets & iPadOS - Apple is in a “bad design choice” corner
I’ve been thinking a lot about the limited support of widgets in iPadOS 14. While waiting for an answer from Craig Federighi (see previous posts), I think I know why. The way Apple introduced widgets in iPadOS 13 kind of put themselves in a “bad design choice” corner. Take an iPad with iPadOS 13 in landscape orientation with widgets showing on the left, now look what happens when rotating the iPad in portrait mode. Continue reading →
