  • Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special

    Those are extremely poor arguments IMO.

    Tablets are tools like anything else in the digital sphere. They are also computers so they should be able to do anything a similarly sized standard laptop can do.

    The days of tablets being incapable (in hardware terms) of achieving laptop-like productivity should be gone by now. 

    Deliberately holding them back is doing them and underservice. Especially at the top end. 

    There should be seamless integration between these devices and they should offer the same general functionality. 

    That, ideally (and possibly inevitably) would require a single OS running on multiple devices with it simply being paired down to each device's strengths/weaknesses. 

    Write once, run anywhere. One app with multiple deployment targets. 

    Apple is already inching (but agonisingly slowly) towards convergence in certain areas and my guess is that that is the real goal at some point (including touchscreen Macs of course). 

    If they want to keep tablets in a 'limited' role, just add a 'tablet' mode to the device.

    Mac OS shipped with Simple Finder years ago. Tablets could have a similar mode and let users decide. Tablets already accommodate even more limited roles (with things like Kiosk Modes).

    I can't see any decent reason why modern powerful tablets should be able to do far, far more than they currently do but they need the right apps and OS foundations. 

    I definitely see no good reason why they should not be fully multiuser for example. 

    Of course it would take a lot of engineering effort and probably require some serious reworking of the foundations but the competition isn't sitting still and is already moving in this direction. The foundations have been laid. 

    IMO, that is probably the real reason Apple wants to temper the desire for 'macOS tablet' at the moment. They don't have the foundations ready. 

    Are we really to believe these poor arguments and then see more and more 'macOS' features seep into 'iPadOS'?

    I see convergence in spite of these claims that that isn't the goal. 
    DID YOU HAVE TO WRITE A BOOK???

    An iPad is not and was not designed to be a MacOS product, plain and simple…

    So, what fantastically amazing IP have you distributed to the masses which has entertained and and even educated, certainly not your 20,000 odd posts on a blog that only a minute cross section of the public even knows EXISTS???

  • CarPlay Ultra's first trial reveals a deeply integrated, Apple-like experience

    Looks cool. I am currently driving my Last GM car, which has wired CarPlay. My next ride will be based on where Apple has the strongest game going.
    Screw GM, I will never buy a car from a greedy company who wants to monetize CarPlay for themselves, if you do not consider the base wanting integration for their iPhone then you are in for a rude awakening, #MyAppleLife first, car second…

  • iPhone Fold rumored to cost over $2000

    Choice is what people want and I would love an iPhone that has a smaller footprint with a quick look screen that folds out to an iPad mini, and nothing you naysayers think matters #INNOVATEorDIE

  • iPhone Fold won't be an iPad or iPhone killer

    darbus69darbus69
    Hey Debbie Downer, how can you you say the iPhoneFold will not be an iPhone killer, when it is an an iPhone and therefore cannot kill itself. That was a whole lot of nonsensical words about attention grabbing headlines about a company which makes few mistakes and builds some of the most exciting and durable consumer products ever built.

    I would suggest a padded Samurai suit.
