Subscription from Apple for an app?
No thanks. F*cking subscriptions everywhere for an app I sometimes use everyday, sometimes not for months.

If this happens with FCPX for macOS as well I’m off to Resolve. A shame because FCP is an excellent NLE (just very behind competitors in features)

The EU might as well just be Apple's new design/engineering team. They're doing a great job at stifling innovation by mandating ports and speeds....let's not stop there! What's next, Apple has to make every new iPhone with a minimum 50MP camera? Or, perhaps they will mandate that all new iPhones must be able to run both Android and iOS? 

Apple is the one that is abusing their control over a connector that’s outdated and terrible for the environment. And Apple is once again trying to regain control over USB with this nonsense because they are afraid they lose revenue over these damn cables. It’s pathetic.

To anyone who's accidentally pushed a button on his phone, why does changing the mute switch to a button benefit the user. Seems like it was done just to benefit Apple. You're going to mute your phone without knowing you did it, you know you are, and wonder why you and Siri are no longer on speaking terms.

Sounds like Apple is ready to serve up another generous helping of Courage™ this autumn. 

Why would you re-design a clear tactical switch button for 'mute' as a push button that doesn't provide the same feedback? That seems like a step back.

In general Apple has been prioritising design too much over usability/affordance. Luckily the latest generation of laptops fix some of that. But on the software side, even a button doesn't look like a button anymore, but an icon. We don't need skeuomorphism, but basic clues on what a UI element or hardware button is vastly prefered over

Thin or non existent bezels are great on a monitor or tv. 

On touch devices, it’s tricky. 

So long as the touch capable portion of the screen doesn’t extend to the edge as well, the UX isn’t hindered. But If the whole screen is touch enabled, just picking up your phone can produce unintended registration. 

Personally, I’d like to see an iPhone that has the screen go truly edge to edge. But only if it displays at the fringes and doesn’t register. 

With all the UI interactions that are now supported that start near the edges (e.g swipe up from the top, swipe from the bottom) and the removal of the home button I also seem to accidentally activate things more than I used to.
I do believe Apple already uses internal logic to capture some of the gestures it should ignore, which I assume result in a probability factor used to decide what to do next. But that only goes so far as it’s a matter of extreme fine-tuning and only a fraction of seconds to make a decision.
