Can anyone with the beta confirm that this supports slideover? Would be pretty lame if we had to run it as a fullscreen app. I was hoping they'd make this a "utility" app invoked from a corner, like Quick Notes

However, retail staff have questioned that description of the relationship between Apple and its workers. One staff member summarized the working conditions by saying that complaining to Apple is "like writing a letter to Santa." Funny.. t…

I hope the animations advertising the upcoming event, showing a hand flipping a pencil around, are a hint that it will get one feature I've never understood was left out, at least since version 2: why doesn't the back end of the pencil do anything? …

Love poetic mistranslations. Weird to me how many of the articles/rumors on the iPad Air and Pro refreshes seem to elide over, or make assumptions about, the exact screen sizes. I get that there may be some lack of clarity in the rumor mill but lik…

Strange that these are being reported as 11 and 13 inch displays, respectively. If the current models are 11 and 12.9, does this imply that only the larger model will be getting reduced bezels? Or that the 11" is reducing bezels by reducing the over…

It's certainly not a direct competitor in terms of specs or features, but in terms of what it actually does, Xreal's products are a lot closer to what I want to see from Apple in this space than what Apple is actually offering. I bring their curre…

When using an iPad I feel like I have to put in the same effort to get the UI to do what I want as I do in Windows, whereas everything is effortless on the Mac. Aside from that, the multitasking UI is still unbelievably clunky. It needs real, o…

danvm said: I find interesting how a years ago how Apple told everyone that touchscreen notebooks were "ergonomically terrible", and that's what we have today with the iPad Pro. Apple is definitely changing. Steve Jobs: Touchscreen Laptop…

They always show Universal Control between a Mac and an iPad, but I haven't yet seen it addressed whether it can work purely between two iPads, or two Macs. Is that possible? Is a Mac always required? Also what is the limit on the number of devices,…

Kind of arbitrary to say that "Mac OS X" lasted 19 years, but seemingly base that on the major version number, not the actual name..? It's silly anyway since Big Sur is still just yet another iteration of Mac OS X 10, whatever it's called. It'll pro…
