I find that large iPads kind of miss the point of tablets (just like the execrable new large-screen-optimized iPadOS 26 UI Apple is forcing on even those of us who use smaller screens where the previous UI's optimizations were perfect). Everything s…

The irony of this headline is that iPadOS 26 is, in fact, ruining what makes iPadOS special by replacing its innovative touch based multitasking with shitty warmed over ideas from macOS. GONE: slideover, and with it the ability to do anything with …

The new widgets look rad as hell. Very clever giving them depth and anchoring them to the real world (and allowing them to persist and be occluded by real objects).. clearly they saw how early adopters were using them in visionOS 1 and 2. Not enou…

Would have appreciated a closer look at the Notes app. Been waiting for that for 10 years... always was weird to have reminders but no notes.

Any time I've ever tried to make a call from my Mac or iPad, not only has the connection been really unreliable and/or with a significant delay, but almost every time the person on the other end complains that I "sound far away", whatever that means…

Oh and watchOS needs the Notes app already. It's been 10 years!!

The surprise inclusion of Preview sounds like it's in keeping with the idea that the "26" OS upgrades are supposed fo make the experience on all Apple devices more seamless and uniform. If an app - especially a built in app with iCloud sync - exists…

Good. It has always annoyed me that macOS switched to 11.0 after 10.15.. not only did it seem totally random, it makes it hard to remember which number follows which (I had to look up what the last 10.x release was). If they had switched to 11.0 aft…

tht said: Don't expect productivity, multitasking miracles here. As others have alluded, you don't really display multiple apps at the same time on an 11" display. It's a little bit better on a 13" display, but not great. Bigger is better f…

Still waiting for any of these articles, any of them at all, to point out that the math does not add up. You can't fold a 7.8" display and get a 5.5" one on the other side. Doesn't work, unless the smaller display is surrounded by embarrassingly mas…

Another one of these incomprehensible things where a corporation with more money and resources than half the world's countries somehow just doesn't have the developers or precious time to spare doing something that far smaller firms do routinely and…

I've long thought that the endgame was an all-screen device... front, sides, even extending into part of the back (but obviously not all of it since you still need inductive charging, cameras, etc). After a few years the iPads and Macs would get the…
