Stupid 5G Marketing
Saw that picture of a guy paying an VR game on a Rogers website to promote 5G networks in Canada. How stupid is this marketing!? What are they thinking when they “design’ their marketing campaign? You tell me.

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.

Just in case you missed it, I started a newsletter touching subjects like Apple, photography, privacy protection and climate change. You could be surprised to see how often these are interrelated. It’s free. #newsletter #blog numericcitizen.substack.com

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.

It came to my mind that preparing and sending my first newsletter is like putting a message in a bottle and dropping it in the sea. #writing #writer #blogging #blog Picture from Javardh from Unsplash. numericcitizen.substack.com

I’m still on the fence with Substack. It is free to start. I don’t know if I’ll be duplicating efforts that I already put in WordPress, Micro.blog and Medium. Writers discovery is limited if I understand it well. This is a web-only publishing experience. #blogging #writing

Here is a side-effect of using @HEY. I no longer use (or rarely use) Apple’s Mail. When an email provider forwards an email to HEY, it is not marked as read (a few offers this option which help keep unread count lower).

The Siri App suggestions widget in iPadOS 14 beta 6 is not very intelligent. On the following screenshot, suggested apps can be found on the Dock. No added value here, redundant. Filling feedback report now. 👨🏻💻 #ipados14beta6
