  • Apple rumored to be testing macOS for M2 iPad Pro

    canukstormcanukstorm
    What I’ve been calling for years is a dual-boot iPad Pro.

    When docked to the proper keyboard/trackpad it behaves exactly like a MacBook Air. When used on its own it runs iPadOS. If you’re on iPadOS and dock to a keyboard, it prompts you if you want to continue using iPadOS or if you want to switch to macOS.

    I don’t want or need a touch enabled version of macOS.
    There was a patent that Apple was granted earlier this year that alludes to something along the lines that you mention

    To me this smells more like the kind of story Apple itself would seed in order to ferret out leakers. My guess someone is about to find their keycard access revoked. 
    That or it’s a misinterpretation of apple working on cross-platform app compatibility.

    Personally, I’d love it if my Ipad Pro had more feature parity with MacOS. I’ve said for several years that iPads are being constrained by iPadOS. That’s still true and many things that they technically can do are kind of kludgy and much more difficult than they are on MacOS
    "That or it’s a misinterpretation of apple working on cross-platform app compatibility." => Apple already has that.  It's called Catalyst

    "Personally, I’d love it if my Ipad Pro had more feature parity with MacOS." => Dan Moren posted an article regarding the vision behind the iPad and he summarized it well:

    "    When the iPad came out, it felt like a burgeoning third revolution, but a decade-on much of that potential has been squandered. None of this is to say that the iPad hasn’t been a success, but that it hasn’t been all that it could be. The real opportunity is for the iPad to be the best of both worlds: taking the modern aspects of iOS and combining what worked well on the Mac, and turning it into a device that’s more than the sum of its parts."

  • iPhone 14 review: Apple's curve ball to iPhone upgraders

    canukstormcanukstorm
    I'm using an iPhone 13 but I'll be upgrading to the iPhone 14 series for one reason only - 6.7" iPhone 14 Plus.  I like the bigger screen without having to pay for extra for Pro features.  Here in Canada the price difference between a 14 Plus and 14 Pro Max is $300.

    Apple mightn’t de done with 2022

    But after last nights feeble attempts with “Dynamic Island” “I’m done with Apple. 

    I wasn’t impressed. I was even more gutted when I saw their price for a base model iphone 14 pro in the EU. €1339 for a base model when last years 13 Pro was €1079. So after 14 years of accepting your feeble increments every year and putting up with your price increases I’ve decided that I can but an S22U with Watch Pro 5 for less and probably get the buds thrown in too for not much more. 

    You’re ok if you’re in the US though. They haven’t increased their price. 

    This is the last straw Apple. With your zero innovation and greedy money grabbing prices. 

    Goodbye and good riddance. 
    Maybe EU imposes severe import tax on iPhone? And you blame Apple?
    It's more so the decline of the value of the Euro

    To be fair, it isn't Apple's fault that the value of the Euro has declined in relation to the US dollar.  Most countries outside of the USA saw prices increases because of this
