My first email to Apple’s top lieutenant: Craig Federighi. Yep, I did it, following my recent blog post. Now, waiting for a possible answer.🤞🏻 numericcitizen.me/2020/07/0…

If iPhone 12 launch is effectively delayed by a few weeks or months, could Apple decide to release iOS 14 for currently shipping devices while we wait for iPhone 12? It would be a first for Apple, but I certainly hope so. #iphone12 9to5mac.com/2020/07/0… Continue reading →

Great comments about iOS 14 from Benjamin Mayo. “Widgets on the home screen are just perfect.” bzamayo.com/ios14-fir…

Marques Brownlee interviews Craig Federighi. As @Gruber points out, the killer question: why no calculator on iPad.

Now, why iPadOS 14 doesn’t allow “free” placement of widgets would have been a much better killer question IMHO. www.youtube.com/watch

Fascinating move by The NewYork Times leaving Apple News. They want to control their customers, get more data, etc.

Now, compare this to the “old” Microsoft. Same to me.

Winning strategies: be on as many platforms as possible or die, i.e. the “new" Microsoft. cc @stevesi

Interesting tidbits here about iPhone apps running on macOS 11. How many devs will “port” their iPhone app to Mac remains to be seen. Can’t wait for the future. twitter.com/_inside/s…

Apple is always about moving forward, even if it means rewriting its own software countless times or breaking things. We pay them, as customers, to make these choices. #apple sixcolors.com/link/2020…

iOS 14 Could Make Changing Your Wallpaper Much Easier

I’m no longer an indie developer but looking at SwiftUI videos from WWDC is really interesting. What a cool technology.

Does the maturing of SwiftUI is an enabler for an iPad version of Xcode? This version of Xcode would be leaving behind ObjC and “legacy” stuff and create SwiftUI-only apps, is it a reasonable thinking? #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #apple #ios #ipados

I like the new Siri design but I don’t like it after all. The animated sphere placement feels wrong as it leave space on top of it on which we cannot interact. Siri answers and feedbacks onscreen position feel very inconsistent. Sometimes it will appear at the top with another smaller banner at the bottom. Sometimes only a banner at the top.

Putting the final touches to my WWDC20 conference comments and review. More than 3000 words. Hope you like to read. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

Found my testing device for iOS 14.0. An iPhone 8. So far, sooooo good. 😀Surprisingly stable. Familiarity and newness in one package. #apple #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

This is what Apple could or should have put online with the watch face sharing ability in iOS 14 and watchOS 7. Really cool initiative. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 twitter.com

No more Microsoft physical stores. End of an (short, insignificant) era. #microsoft #microsoftstores

Those on iOS 14, question: is there any issues with syncing in Notes edited on iOS 14, still ok in iOS 13? Same for Reminders or iMessage? #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

Nothing in that regard in the release notes.

I told you that @mailbrew + HEY was a killer combination. Clips. 👊🏻😎👨🏻‍💻

My thought of the day: We’ll never see iPad in size larger than 12.9 inches because larger devices like this could be an ARM Mac with large screen AND touch support. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020 #apple

I’m fed up of Apple bragging about its 2 millions apps in the App Store. I fuckin don’t care because we all know the vast majority is pure crap or of very low value.

There, I said it. #wwdc #wwdc20 #wwdc2020

Following the reveal of widgets support on iOS 14, I’m feeling anxiety over how I’will “design” my home screens coming this fall. The same kind of feeling related to my Apple Watch watch face design, btw. What role will play the App Library? Will I reduce my reliance on folders for organizing my apps and add more pages that I can hide as needed? How many pages reserved for widgets only will I create and for which use case?
