Because of newly introduced folders support in iOS 14 Shortcuts, I made a spring cleanup. Now I’m down to what I actually need and use. #ios14 #apple

With iPadOS 14, Apple mades a lot of improvements to the Calendar app which makes me reconsider the use of Readdle’s Calendar alternative. The reason is mainly because of the new Sidebar. Decision, decision, decision. #iPadOS14

Viticci on iPadOS 14 - when iPadOS is Influenced by macOS #iPadOS14
Good insights by Federico Viticci of MacStories about iPadOS 14. One theme stands out: with iPadOS 14, Apple is no longer taking it’s inspiration from the iPhone but from macOS to push the iPad in its very distinct path.
Exhibit A: the Sidebar in applications like Music, Photos, Files. Exhibit B: the redesigned Search bar.
Still to be improved, though: multitasking. Next year.

When I talk about this virus to my kids, my recurring message is the fact that this is not like the flu, far from it.

Something fascinating and disturbing about COVID-19 and the US: everything that makes the US what they are is making them weak against this virus. #livefreeordie #againstthefed

Dear Apple, please, oh please, allow us to move around our many screens in this view. Thank you.

On Apple's iOS 14, Widgets and Considering Bigger iPhone
One of the unexpected side effect of Apple introducing widgets in iOS 14 is that I’m reconsidering my stance against big iPhone like iPhone 11 Pro Max.. when widgets invade our landscape this fall, we may find the iPhone 11 screen too small for all of them.
If Apple was willing to add the same flexibility to the iPad it would be another matter, though.

If you think not wearing a face mask is a free ride, think again. More than $ 330 Billions deficit for Canada because of the pandemic.

« 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? Will future Mac support external GPU? Probably but performance gain will be marginal.

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. Catalina is better.
- Menu bar is translucide. Catalina is better too.
- Safari is much better looking in Big Sur.
- Notes is much improved in Big Sur.
- Big Sur icons shapre are much more uniform. Advantage to Big Sur here.
- Big Sur Side Bars in many apps like Maps is better looking too.
Who wins? Well, the jury is still out.

Who prefering the original AirPod case size but the features of the Pro models? Me. Daring Fireball: AirPods Versus AirPods Pro

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.
