  • Apple pauses iOS 18, macOS 15 work to stomp bugs now

    beadlienbeadlien
    This is welcome news. I am experiencing some major bugs in Sonoma and iOS17. Sonoma has significant issues with Waking from Sleep and AirDrop to name but two. Updating to iOS17 I got duplicate apps and all sorts of other annoyances. I’d be happy to wait an extra 12 months for iOS 18 if it meant 17 became rock solid and fast. (My still-working iPhone 4 feels fast compared to 17 on my iPhone 14 Pro.)

  • Apple promises 'scary fast' Mac announcement the night of October 30

    I'm all for choices and options. I am sure these new "scary fast" macs will be important to many people. And at some point in the future, I know I will benefit from them as I replace my gear. But...I have abandoned the iMac line, after using many many iterations of it, in favor of a third party 4k display and mac mini that serves my present needs. I am not a "pro" user and what I'd really like is a reliable, easy to use home desktop computer for simple, everyday tasks. 

    Apple does not make devices that appeal to low cost consumers. If you want a simple desktop computer, the mac is not for you. I do like the interoperability between the varied devices, so one intriguing possibility is that Apple does make a more versatile and affordable monitor "system" that can display, on a desktop, content from any source - iPhone, iPad, legacy devices like a mac mini, or...straight from internet sources, and just skip any local processing or storage.  

    YMMV. 
    I don’t understand what this gets you that you can’t already do - unless you mean cheaper?

    New Ways to Work Across Apple Devices

    Working across Apple devices is now better than ever with new Continuity features:
    • Universal Control lets users work with a single mouse and keyboard and move between Mac and iPad for a seamless experience, with no setup required. Users can even drag and drop content back and forth between devices — great for sketching a drawing with Apple Pencil on iPad and placing it into a Keynote slide on the Mac.
    • With AirPlay to Mac, users can play, present, and share just about anything — from the latest movies and games to vacation photos and presentations — from their iPhone or iPad right to their Mac’s stunning Retina display. The Mac’s high-fidelity sound system can also be used as an AirPlay speaker, so users can play music or podcasts on their Mac, or use their Mac as a secondary speaker for multiroom audio.

  • Tim Cook casts doubt on new M2 MacBook Pros in 2022

    Couldn’t Tim Cook argue that an upgrade isn’t a new “product”? Even a new M2 MacBook Pro with a new form factor is still a MacBook Pro…
