Snidely

Maybe good advice in hindsight but it’s unacceptable for email, one of the main purposes of the OS to have issues but Apples lost its way a bit over the years. And Of course if you picked up your new iPhone today you didn’t have a choice. That said my 11 Pro Max is fine. Emails working normally. New Apple Watch is great too. Only annoyance is no ECG for Australia yet again. Looking forward to installing iPad OS soon.

Seems like a bit of overkill to me.

2 REASONS YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR NOT BUYING THE NEW MACBOOK PRO

Not being able to add additional RAM or change the drive seems like a really restrictive and mercenary act that frankly I’m surprised the die hard apple users would stand for except that we are all just like sheep being pushed in this direction or that direction by our friendly apple shepherds.  They are simply taking advantage of peoples love with all things virtual and I just can’t see it being that important/helpful to users. 

WHY I HATE THE TOUCH BAR (and I don’t even have a MacBook Pro)
I hate the touch bar and I don't even use it. The truth is I only got an iMac because I wanted to use Logic Pro which I love.  I hope they don’t stuff up the interface for that. They appear to be forcing us all to update our apps just to fit in with their touch bar, moving onscreen buttons around, removing them, changing to that darker GUI which frankly hurts my eyes. I tried the new darker interface out on Motion 5 for a couple of hours and nothing was where i expected it to be either which was really frustrating my work flow so I reverted back to the previous version. No doubt I can’t do that forever but I don’t know what to do and need time to think about whether to move away from the Apple OS. 

SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO
What factors will influence me to leave the relatively (until now) happy Apple OS environment I will remain in the Apple world with my iPhone, iPad and but I will not be getting one of their notebooks and if they stuff up Logic Pro for me which I fear they are going to do with the threatened update for that, then I’ll just have to switch to some other 64b DAW that’s compatible with my Komplete Kontrol S61 and various software I use for music production. Changing to a new DAW will be a pain in the neck as I have only used Logic Pro 9 and X after moving up from GarageBand. If I’m no longer using Logic Pro then the next time I have to get a new Desktop machine I might as well go get a high end windows machine and use that and enjoy a lower price for the dame tech.
