Here is a very classic Apple thing. So Apple. When “form” is taking over everything, even common sense. But, hey, these wheels are great looking, right? twitter.com/MKBHD/sta…

It will take much more than a redesigned keyboard for the iPad Pro to make it a viable solution to fully replace a laptop in many business or even personal use cases. It will take fixes to iPadOS: discoverability, multitasking, real mouse pointer, etc. [Report: Apple releasing iPad Pro Smart Keyboard with built-in trackpad this year - 9to5Mac](9to5mac.com/2020/02/2… Continue reading →

If Apple decides to postpone WWDC2020 (because of COVID19], it could mean, for the first time in a while, Apple will ship new features at the same time of their announcement this fall. Just sayin. #apple #iosdev #WWDC #WWDC2020

A bit hold but still relevant. On the pervasive use by Apple of the ellipsis in iOS.

Less… Is More? Apple’s Inconsistent Ellipsis Icons Inspire User Confusion - TidBITS tidbits.com/2019/08/3…

I’m not on beta this time for iOS / iPadOS. I can’t remember when was the last time my devices were not running a non-beta release. 😳🤔

If true, this would put the final nail in the coffin for depending on a computer to do full reset of a device. Just like on the Mac. Can’t wait. #apple #ios134 www.macrumors.com/2020/02/2…

Security is not an easy thing to implement without adding layers and burden to the end-users. Same thing goes with added hardware features (like TouchID) which translate in added steps in the setup assistant. They do require setup. Is there a solution to all this? More features, less choices, same bureaucraty? pxlnv.com/blog/cata… Continue reading →

Another iPadOS multitasking concept appeared on Twitter. First, this is an intersting starting point to redo multitasking on the iPad. Very simple gesture: single tap as it should be. My guess is that developers wouldn’t need to update their app in order to support this new model. It does fix the problem of finding the second app to bring in. Second, how the hell do they make these animations? How do we bring this to Apple’s attention? Continue reading →

Time flies. Surprising how constant the layout of MacRumors stayed mostly the same over the years.#apple www.macrumors.com

MacRumors is 20 Years Old Today

This leak supposedly showing iOS 14 running on an iPhone and showing the app switcher from the iPad… seriously, I hope we get to keep the current “card style” which I find better suited for the iPhone form factor and thumb based operations. #apple #ios14 #rumor #leaktwitter.com

My wife and I went for a walk today. Great weather. After a while, my wife says her Apple Watch asks permission to connect to my phone. I’m surprised. She didn’t bring her iPhone with her. I turned on hotspot on my iPhone. Just a few moments later, she get a phone call on the watch. She answer and start the conversation. How cool is that? I didn’t know the Apple Watch could do this… It has something to do with the fact that she is in the iCloud Family and this was a call using wifi calling from her cell phone provider through my own iPhone.

I know this one is fake but if the rumoured iPhone 9, or iPhone SE// or whatever they call it looks like this fake model, I kind of like it… especially the edges that looks like the one on the iPad Pro. Get rid of the bezels and voilà! But it’s not going to happen. #apple #iphone twitter.com/WhatTheBi… Continue reading →

One of the things that I don’t like with Apple Music.app is this: the visual feedback that comes with adding or loving a song. Too obstructive, too slow. Reminds me of the volume hud… that Apple finally got rid of with iOS 13. Oh, and by the way, why burry Add and Love in a sub-menu? Agree? #applemusic #apple #ui #ux #design Continue reading →

Nice summary of opinions about iPad’s ten years anniversary by Mike Rockwell. And I second his own point of view on iPad current state of affair. #apple #ipad #ipados The State of iPad - Initial Charge

I expect Apple to go ahead with this, allowing the users to set a default browser or mail client on iOS. Changing defaults is part of a modern OS and this would be, in my opinion, another step towards the upcoming ARM-based Macs running iPadOS. 9to5mac.com/2020/02/2… Continue reading →

This is the Microsoft that I like. This is what I would love from Apple. The new Office app for iPhone. 😍🥰 #microsoft #apple #office #office365

So baffling to me that Apple seems unable to fix Mail’s toolbar in iOS 13… what was the problem again with iOS 12’s version? 🤔🙄 #apple #ios134beta twitter.com/bzamayo/s…

Oopsy, that is certainly something that Apple doesn’t want to get out. It may be already too late. This could get ugly. 🍿 Apple demands pull of tell-all App Store book over confidentiality issues
