    Do you think Apple has plans already in place to allow for third-party payment systems on the App Store, just in case they are being forced to add these?

    Is it me or Apple had a pretty easy day today? Seems all the attention went to Google, Facebook and Amazon. My guess is that it reflects a fact: Apple is not in a monopolistic position like the other three. www.cnbc.com Live: Big Tech testifies: Bezos promises action if investigation reveals misuse of seller data Continue reading →

    A byproduct of the coronavirus pandemic: traveling apps like Flighty won’t get my renewal this year. Sad for the developer. Really nice app. See you next year, maybe.

    Highly doubtful that Apple already has the date set for the September Keynote in current context. Even more for October event. Take this with a grain of salt. ‘iPhone 12’ event Sept. 8 with ‘Apple Glass’ & Apple Silicon Mac reveal on Oct. 27, says leaker - Appleinsider

    Here is a bunch of Apple inconsistencies in design. On macOS Big Sur: you can add a widget by clicking on it, but not on iOS. Still on Big Sur, notifications are stacked on top of the widgets space on the right while on iOS they get their own space. Explain this to me, Apple.

    If anyone had doubts on why Apple is transitioning to its own silicon for the Mac: Intel is (again) delaying it’s 7nm chips to… 2022 or 2023. www.tomshardware.com/news/inte…

    Everybody is talking about Apple Music new icon since Beta 3 but, think about this: after 14 versions of iOS, and here we are: the “More” “button” lingering bad design. How many times I try to hit this and I bring the detail view of the app instead. Frustrating. Let me be clear: wrong place, too small, text overlapping, not a real button. Come on, Apple! My suggestion: add a “Details” button accessible when sliding the table cell to the left (the same gesture that reveals a Delete button). Continue reading →

  • On Widgets Management Interfaces on iPhone

    Very valid complaint from Dieter Bohn of The Verge on Apple’s implementation of widgets management on iPhone. Two different user interfaces for basically the same objective. I prefer the look of the new design, but I understand the previous one is still there for compability purposes. iOS 14 Beta 3 brings back the « Edit » button at the (very inconvenient place) bottom of the list. Hitting the button brings you back unexpectedly to the top of the widgets list. Continue reading →

    On Apple’s 30% cut. Again. We all know where this all goes. Yesterday it was a deal. Today, 30% is way too much. So, let’s fight and try to force Apple to set the cut to 20%. No, 15%. That is way better, right? A few years down the road, a well known developer comes out and complain about 15% being way too much of a cut. Poor guy. Let’s start a fight and bring that down.

    It is easy to forget what it was before the App Store and now complain about the 30% cut by Apple.

    iPadOS 15 concept imagined by Parker Ortolani certainly looks interesting. I’m not sure about some ideas put forward but it certainly shows how the iPad is still held back with iPadOS 14. The lack of flexibility in widgets placement is, put mildly, baffling. I love those widgets on my iPhone but the lack of space forces us to create tons of pages. And the problem will only get worst this fall after developers start adding widget support in their apps. Continue reading →

    If blog post from Readdle’s is any indication, expect a LOT of widgets to be available when iOS 14 launch this fall. In fact, more widgets will be available than any number of home screen pages can accommodate. #ios14 readdle.com/blog/ios1…
