    „Third country“? Last time I checked, the European Union was not a country.  ;)

  • Craig Federighi promises iPad Stage Management improvements coming

    wonkothesanewonkothesane
    I mean, one thing I did not really realize until now is that the iPad does not beachball. While I am used to the spinning waiting time in a few situations on my MacOS devices, I think the responsiveness thingy Craig touched on, really is a thing. Ok, you can argue it is not a thing, bc otherwiese I would have noticed that much earlier on. However, what if the paradigm going forward is “no beachballing”? Just a thought.

  • Apple will have to face claims that it benefitted from iTunes gift card scams

    There have always been idiots that are either stupid as bread or such incapable of taking responsibility for their lives into their own hands. 
    Until recently, I felt this a curious phenomenon on the side. In recent times, however, the Epics, I lost my Apple Watch in disney land, and Others gain such a voice that regulators, politicians and judges more and more detect successful companies as the scapegoat to go to and relentlessly try to milk these cash cows until all innovation and fun has been drained out of such business models. What a pity!

  • Apple developing 14.1-inch iPad Pro with M2 chip, two sources claim

    To see how big 14.1 4:3 is, just look at an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. It's pretty darn close. Add about 0.3" on each side for bezel.

    Biggest issue with large tablet isn't necessarily its size. It's the weight. It going to be about 1.8 to 2 lb. That's pretty heavy to be hand holding for long period of time. So, it will basically be a desk-tablet.
    Yes, it is big. And I don‘t think the target is using it hand-held. But either with the Keyboard/trackpad when in „MBP“-mode, or flat on the desk for drawing, pencil note taking. So , with pro apps on par with the MacOS side, it would be great for those two use cases. For hand-held media consumption a smaller one obviously would be easier to keep in your hands.
