  • HomePod private beta could be testing voice calls, multiple timers

    How the heck does Siri not already allow you to set multiple timers.  Baffling.
    iOS does not have multiple timers, Siri is is a voice interface to iOS functionality, so it is normal that Siri does not allow this. There are probably hundreds of apps that allow multiple timers on the app store so this has never been a major problem, It still amazes me how much noise this one function can generate on the echo chamber.

    Totally gonna get that new keyboard. One question though, what’s happened to the Magic Connector on the iPad? Has it been deprecated, eliminated? Does the new keyboard get power or power the iPad? I see the USB-C port, so I’m guessing no connection to the iPad. Bummer.

    The keyboard takes power from the iPad, the USB-C port is pass through to charge the iPad, when connected you have two USB-C ports on the iPad, one to charge and one for something else.

  • Apple urges lawmakers to reject bill that would force it to allow side-loading

    Yep. Already knew those options… not the same thing as creating a full app and sending it to someone for them to use freely without restrictions. Both TestFlight and distributing Xcode projects have limitations and hurdles.
    There is the newly announced https://developer.apple.com/support/unlisted-app-distribution/ that allows apps to be distributed to anyone in any number through the app store.
    It remains to be seen how this works out in practice. I will be trying this out with an app I currently distribute with the ADHOC distribution method, when I renew the certificates.
