After 14 major iOS release... and yet...
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 →

The race for the bottom of everything
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.

The iPad still held back with iPadOS 14
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…

Apple is already setting the table for the iPhone 12 lack of charger in the box. You may not like this decision but this is clever marketing. www.apple.com/environme…

Smartphones going forward and Zoom going backward
Modern smartphones replaced most if not all specialized tools like camera, microphone, etc. Zoom wanting to sell dedicated screens for meetings would be going backward and… really, who want’s to buy a 27" monitor just for Zoom meetings? daringfireball.net/linked/20… Continue reading →

My first experiment with an ND1000 filter. Quite happy with the results. Classic subject for this. Next up? Cloudy skies.

Interesting comparison between macOS Catalina & Big Sur system sounds. You don’t change something like this often. That is something new in Big Sur. I didn’t play long enough with Big Sur to notice. Apple did the same with iOS 7. www.youtube.com/channel/U…
