  • Apple software head Craig Federighi explains iPad's trackpad support

    "But most interestingly, the cursor will actually change shape and adapt to various UI elements to make it clear what you're pointing at, whether it's a button or a piece of text." ...just like the mouse curser on the Mac. I mean, it's exciting and all to see it coming to the iPad, but this phrase just made me laugh.
    The whole video makes it sound like that using a touchpad and having a cursor is some sort of revolutionary new technology.  What he means is, after all these years, the iPad can finally do what a PC (or Mac) has done since the beginning of time.
    Wrong. The iPad cursor moves in ways that a computer cursor doesn't. The iPad cursor behaves differently depending on the context of what you're doing.

  • Apple unveils new iPad Pro with 3D scanner, trackpad support

    Meh. This refresh appears very minor, at best. 
    Not for those who use a physical keyboard with their iPad. And the cursor support they added looks nice. Almost like the focus engine from Apple TV.
    You don't need to even buy the new iPad to get the Magic Keyboard. You can also buy the Magic Keyboard for the previous generation iPad.

    Sad there isn’t a new Mac Mini Pro.
    Isn't that an oxymoron... a Mac Mini Pro. What would be the point of a non-pro Mac Mini that is pro in name only. What I would like to see is a lowering of the entry point of the Mac Pro to an Intel i5 or i7 perhaps - maybe we could call it the Mac Pro Mini (LOL). But it would still have the ugradability and configurability pro goodness that some of us poorer professional crave.
    No, it would not be an oxymoron. The Mac Mini absolutely can be a Pro machine. Is a 2TB SSD not Pro? Is 64GB of RAM not Pro? Is the ability of having the most kick-ass discrete video card not pro? The Mac Mini can be at least as Pro if not more Pro than a MacBook Pro.

  • Apple TV+ announces biographical docuseries 'Dear...' featuring Oprah, Stevie Wonder, more...

    I would highly appreciate if you declutter site from AppleTV+ program offerings or put ALL streaming offerings as well.
    Nope. TV+ is part of Apple so it should be available for discussion on an Apple related site. After reading the headline, you could have decided to not click on the article.

  • How to take better photos with the iPhone

    It's hard for me to understand why so many people hold their phones vertically. That never made sense to me. Especially for videos, I just shake my head in disbelief, that so many people hold their phones vertically.
