Hi Guys,

I enjoyed the reviews on Apple Watch and MacOS Mojave.  I'm looking forward to upgrading my system to Mojave from Sierra, especially for the latest versions of FCPX and Compressor.

One thing I that bugged me in this episode was the amount of time spent on wishing iOS and the Mac would become one product. If my desktop-based MacOS turned into iOS I would burn my macbook pro and walk away.  I just feel like you guys just don't get it, the desktop OS version of the Mac is what I turn to when I need power: virtual machines, multitasking, studio-level audio production and video editing.  There's no accommodation for these workflows on an iPhone.  I tested LumaFusion on the iPad (imo best video editor for the tablet there is) and it's pretty good for basic stuff.  But you're not going to be doing a 4K workflow or anything more advanced just on the iPad itself.  I feel it's just stupid to proselytize merging iOS and the Mac it like it's the future.

Also, let's stop with this "take the training wheels off the iPad".  The iPad an incredible tool for day-to-day needs as long as it's connected to a cloud-based file system (iCloud, Dropbox, etc).  Office workflows, text-based editing, web apps, Keynote, etc. it works great. Oh yeah, photo editing - the iPad shines here.  There are no training wheels on the iPad when editing photos (Snapseed fan), it's fantastic.  Once Apple gets their act together as to how the Photos app syncs your edited photos from a device without creating doubles of everything, or without needing $50/month on iCloud just so your library fits in the cloud, then that experience will be truly superb.

iOS and MacOS are different tools for different things.  I never want to edit photos on my macbook again and I have no desire to edit video on in iPhone.
