A bizarre upcoming fall schedule for Apple? #iphone12 #ios14
If iPhone 12 launch is effectively delayed by a few weeks or months, could Apple decide to release iOS 14 for currently shipping devices while we wait for iPhone 12? It would be a first for Apple, but I certainly hope so. #iphone12 9to5mac.com/2020/07/0… Continue reading →

Great comments about iOS 14 from Benjamin Mayo. “Widgets on the home screen are just perfect.” bzamayo.com/ios14-fir…

Marques Brownlee interviews Craig Federighi. As @Gruber points out, the killer question: why no calculator on iPad.
Now, why iPadOS 14 doesn’t allow “free” placement of widgets would have been a much better killer question IMHO. www.youtube.com/watch

Interesting tidbits here about iPhone apps running on macOS 11. How many devs will “port” their iPhone app to Mac remains to be seen. Can’t wait for the future. twitter.com/_inside/s…

Apple is always about moving forward, even if it means rewriting its own software countless times or breaking things. We pay them, as customers, to make these choices. #apple sixcolors.com/link/2020…

I’m no longer an indie developer but looking at SwiftUI videos from WWDC is really interesting. What a cool technology.

Does the maturing of SwiftUI is an enabler for an iPad version of Xcode? This version of Xcode would be leaving behind ObjC and “legacy” stuff and create SwiftUI-only apps, is it a reasonable thinking? #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #apple #ios #ipados

On Siri updated design #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #ios14
I like the new Siri design but I don’t like it after all. The animated sphere placement feels wrong as it leave space on top of it on which we cannot interact. Siri answers and feedbacks onscreen position feel very inconsistent. Sometimes it will appear at the top with another smaller banner at the bottom. Sometimes only a banner at the top.

Putting the final touches to my WWDC20 conference comments and review. More than 3000 words. Hope you like to read. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

This is what Apple could or should have put online with the watch face sharing ability in iOS 14 and watchOS 7. Really cool initiative. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 twitter.com

My thought of the day: We’ll never see iPad in size larger than 12.9 inches because larger devices like this could be an ARM Mac with large screen AND touch support. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #apple

I’m fed up of Apple bragging about its 2 millions apps in the App Store. I fuckin don’t care because we all know the vast majority is pure crap or of very low value.
There, I said it. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

iOS 14 Widgets and Anxiety #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020
Following the reveal of widgets support on iOS 14, I’m feeling anxiety over how I’will “design” my home screens coming this fall. The same kind of feeling related to my Apple Watch watch face design, btw. What role will play the App Library? Will I reduce my reliance on folders for organizing my apps and add more pages that I can hide as needed? How many pages reserved for widgets only will I create and for which use case?

The Secret Feature of Upcoming ARM-Based Mac #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #apple
Wild dream of the day: what if a silent yet unannounced feature of the ARM-based Mac is touch support? Looking at one of the WWDC session video called “Adopt the new look of macOS Big Sur”, spacing of many UI elements certainly feels in preparation of touch support introduction. Plus, iPhone apps running unmodified on these machines would feel at home with touch support. Continue reading →

On macOS Big Fur surprising visual and design attributes #wwdc #wwdc20
Taken out of one of @gruber recent post. In red: the Cancel button looks like being disabled. Very bad. The menu bar transparency, why? Is Apple trying to make us forget about this distinctive UI element? In yellow: the window title being no longer at the center, to make room for buttons (that look less and less like buttons)… In green: a depth effect with surrounding shadow, thumbs up. General look of the refresh popup dialog, very iOS is refreshing on the Mac. Continue reading →

For those wondering… I’m still trying to wrap my head around the start of the WWDC20 week, started by this exceptional opening keynote. So far, the best words for describing my feelings are “a near perfect balancing act”. #apple #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #wwdc
Stay tuned for more.

More then ever it seems tech pundits and tech savvy people are asking for real, meaningful and transformative changes by Apple. Will they deliver? #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

Apple moving to ARM: another game changer move in the works #wwdc #wwdc20 #apple
Today, it will be interesting to see how Apple is positioning its move from Intel to ARM. To me, one thing is clear: this could be another game changer move. Apple has proven many times in the past that you don’t need to own a market (PC sales) to create new inflection points on its trajectory. Remember when Apple legitimize the use of the USB ports in its original iMac? Now, they could legitimize the use of ARM on traditional computers. Continue reading →
