WWDC19: SwiftUI was the brightest star in a galaxy of new ideas
Why an app written in SwiftUI wouldn’t run on iOS 12? The OS version on which you code and the OS version you target are two different things. People can code in SwiftUI under iOS 13 but may target iOS 12 when compiling.hmlongco said:The biggest problem is that SwiftUI is ONLY available on iOS 13, with no support for iOS 12 or 11. This means that it will be quite some time (years?) before SwiftUI can make a major impact among most developers, as few applications can get away with only supporting the current version of iOS.

High-end users on 'Why I'm buying the new Mac Pro'
Ooops calm down and try to digest this: every Mac user IS a potential Windows user because every Mac IS also a Wintel PC at the same time. Maybe not the majority but a significant portion the Mac users happily experience the benefits of using both OSes on the same machine. So stop thinking with the memes of the 90’s and grow up.deminsd said:
We get it. You hate Windows for whatever reason. Most people don't spend ANY TIME changing their IP ADDRESS on a regular basis so your example is reaching. The truth is, we can go back and forth with HOT GARBAGE ways that macOS does something worse or less intuitive than Windows. WHO CARES? You're so biased against Windows you probably can't even see the improvements MS has made in the latest Windows. For me and my clients, Windows is GREAT. We don't get malware or viruses. We don't change our IP addresses every day. And Windows Updates rarely intrude when you actually take the time to configure when "Active hours" are.raoulduke42 said:"yes Windows updates are garbage but malware is more prevalent only because so many people use Windows, and the Windows interface hasn't been terrible/inconstant (this is subjective I know) since Windows 8."
1. If you're a pro and can't be sure when you'll be without your main tool because Windows decided to take over for three hours, that seems pretty disqualifying to me.
2. It doesn't matter why there are more viruses that are far easier to be infected with, it matters that there are.
3. This.... Hot. Garbage.
I have a client with an Arts Dept (all using Trash Can Mac Pro's) and were waiting for the new Mac Pro to upgrade. Now, they will be looking at Windows Workstations for half the cost, the same or better upgradability and performance, and can STILL run their Adobe CC. Apple just lost a customer (and I'd bet more than just this client).
Here's a question for you...this client has 12 Windows users and 8 Mac users. Guess who has more issues? Hint -- not the 12 Windows users.

As an operating system and computer manufacturer Apple is prohibited from accessing the “bare metal” of the Nvidia GPU, like everyone. They cannot program the GPU directly, they must call Nvidia’s APIs, which in turn pass those calls to the GPU. Apple has absolutely no access to the inner workings of the Nvidia GPU. As a chip, computer and OS manufacturer Apple cannot take into serious such a “computation”, while FPS freaks, DIY tinkerers and a few academics may live with that.rogifan_new said:Has Apple ever said why they don’t support Nvidia? -
Project Catalyst aims to bring apps to the Mac, enhance titles for iPad
You’re holding it wrong, literally. If you need to use an iPad in upright position All the time then you need a laptop, not iPad. Mobile computing is not moving your devices from one desk onto another desk. If you need a desk all the time to use your iPad then you purchased a wrong device. This is why “it is no accident that Apple has finally never announced support of desktop pointing devices (mouse and trackpad) in the first release of the iPadOS”, it has just announced an Accessibility accessory as the mouse, reproducing not the PC mouse pointer but the iOS touch shape on screen. That is in the beta version and may change of course.sirozha said:Project Catalyst is another deliberate step toward the new hybrid device, which I call macPad. This device will be a fusion of the iPad Pro and the MacBook. Below are the bullet points why I've believed for several years now that the macPad is on the Apple's roadmap even though initially Apple vehemently denied that such device would ever be released.- iPad's touch interface is not suited for a professional use in the upright position regardless of how powerful the CPU and the GPU of the device is. Apple tried to mitigate the lack of a pointing device by releasing the Apple Pencil, but that didn't change the fact that in the upright position, using touch (with a finger or a stylus-like device) is inconvenient. Steve Jobs himself justified the absence of touch screen on the Macs by the same reasoning - it's unergonomic to extend your arm to touch a vertical screen, it's imprecise, and it strains one's arm after prolonged use. It's no accident that Apple has finally announced support of desktop pointing devices (mouse and trackpad) in the first release of the iPadOS.
You’re not wrong in thinking like that. The blame (if any) goes to Apple’s Marketing, imitating Microsoft Surface in all marketing materials showing the iPad in upright position and with a keyboard. The image Marketing tries to establish in people’s mind with that iPad presentation is totally wrong and contradictory to the iPad concept. Here is how that created so much confusion, also preventing people from investing to Mac or iPad dreaming of legendary devices like macPad or MacARM...
