    On Apple vs The World: I’m all in for Apple to change its App Store rules, whatever it could mean, and reduce its cuts, etc. But @gruber post is dead on, Epic move this week is pure PR stunt. Plain and simple. EPIC can’t be selective and hit only Apple. They have to hit them all on the basis of their suposedly principles. daringfireball.net/linked/20… Continue reading →

    If Epic doesn’t play the same game with Sony and all the other online stores, they are making fools of themselve. If you fight for principles, do it diligently.

    There seems to be a consensus about the need for the App Store to change. Ok. Tell me how? Oh, and stop asking for a lower cut from Apple. What kind of more profound change should come to the App Store rules?

    Apple Watch Series 6 launched via press release in first half of September? Really? No way. Well, there is nothing normal about 2020, so, why not.

    Reflecting on my Twitter presence. Increasing my Twitter followers count is so hard. Even being retweeted to 38K Twitter users won’t move the needle. People come but leave. Is Twitter still a thing? I wonder. #blogger #blogging

    I decided to turn that off under iPadOS 14. It’s the consequence of not having the full widgets experience like on the iPhone.

    Here is an app idea: how about an app allowing bloggers to easily create « link postsĀ Ā» which would allow for easy insertion of links and text quotes and the blogger’s own comments. I would pay for that one. I’m currently using Linky but it is very limited (single quote).

    Interesting take by @gruber on Apple’s position regarding Microsoft’s xCloud. My take: it’s about control AND money. The former makes it easier to get the latter. daringfireball.net/2020/08/a…

    Wondering something about a possible incursion of the nano-texture glass on a future iPad Pro. Would this be compatible with the use of the Apple Pencil? I wish it will be.

    Wishing for similar performance improvements when Apple Silicon hits the iMac line. Coupled with the rumoured redesign, the first since 2012, I’m already salivating. #apple #imac2021 #applesilicon

    Here is a great take on Apple’s App Store issues by @drbarnard. To me, the key is for Apple to change its mindset from working too hard on the lock-in to working on the experience quality (tweet #10 in the thread) and let the users decide. twitter.com/drbarnard… Continue reading →

    If you are not on iOS 14 beta 4, hold off and wait for Beta 5. I do experience the same issues exposed in this Twitter thread. Very buggy release. It reminds me of iOS 13 betas. #ios14beta4 #apple

    Great reviews on the latest iMac update. As a serious amateur photographer, the thing that stands out to me is the new nano glass option. At 500$ it is not cheap but reviewers are liking it a lot. Could this option eventually come to the iPad Pro? Or the iPhone? I would pay a premium for this on the iPad Pro. Now, why the 21.5ā€ iMac has not been updated is a mystery to me. Continue reading →
