    “MacARM” is the iPad Pro. There will be no more “Mac” ARM but there will be even more iPad Pro with iPad OS.

    iPad OS + iPad Pro combo is a more advanced concept than MacARM. The future is the iPad. Macs will continue to exist but for backwards compatibility and for industrial legacy applications only. And if Intel does well within this limited role, it will always do.


    The lack of filesystem accessibility on iPadOS or IOS is a huge problem to me and all developers. We work with files all the time. MacOS allows us to do that. Attachment to emails are files. I add files to emails all the time. Makes passing data easy. Why go to the complexity of using DropBox and uploading a file (those darn files won't go away will they)
    IMHO, IOS (in any of its guises) has a long way to go to be a total replacement for MacOS.  I may well be pushing up daisies before that happens.

    Someone has an agenda and also deep pockets to fund this sort of attack.
    I'd look to see who has recently taken a big short position on APPL and that the time is coming to pay for the stock that was 'borrowed'.

    Just an idea

    And after authentication you double click the side button. Still more more convenient than digging out a card from a wallet or purse. 
    My Oyster card is in its own wallet along with my Senior Railcard and train tickets. I just put the wallet on the Oyster reader and the gate opens.
    No digging the card out from my main wallet.

    and so started the new Cold War.
    Next...? A global recession leading to depression. This may well be followed by China calling in all its notes (iou's) that they hold on nations all over the world.
    Better start learning mandarin people. The Chinese Empire is just waiting to strike.

    Switch to the likes of Samsung and Huawei?
    Use Google supplied software?
    Use a Google supplied service?

    Are you being serious or is this holiday weekend a slow news time.

    Some of us value our privacy.
    that means having nothing to do with the likes of Google.
    They need to milk data about our lives by any means possible in order to sell it and to show us adverts.
    No, no and thrice no.

    I know that keeping my life and that of my family off the Internet is not easy nor is it cheap. I'm prepared to pay the extra so that my life does not become part of the Google Borg.

    But it is more than making a decision on what hardware and software we use. It is also deciding what NOT to use. It is also about deciding to NOT put your life onto a device that can easily be broken/stolen/mislaid. I'm talking about my iPhone.
    I don't do email on it. No social media on any platform. I only use the Safari on my phone if there is no other choice.

    If I appear slightly paranoid then perhaps I am but I had my Identity Stolen some years ago (by a bitter ex). Anyone who has had that happen to them will know now it affects your life from top to bottom.
