  • Apple delays Live Activities in iOS 16

    It’s not really “Apple delays”… they said it in the keynote it would ship later than the initial release of iOS 16…

  • Apple now blocking new installs of sideloaded iOS apps on M1 Macs

    The ability to load iPhone, iPad iOS apps was one reason to buy an M1. I had assumed Apple would have permission to do that.

    If an M1 Mac can’t run iPad apps, but an iPad can run iPhone apps, that’s Apple being capricious. 

    Apple didn’t promise the ability to side-load apps, they specifically said Mac App Store would allow for apps developer didn’t opt-out of... so I’m so confused by the comments saying that loading apps was the reason you bought it. 

    Like it was stumbled upon by some developers, and Apple patched the edge case... because I’m sure they wanted to get the OS as rock solid as possible. Yes, it still has bugs, but if you’re running only Apple Silicon ready apps (not Rosetta), then you should be fine... you’re an early adopter, and things are going to happen...

    And preventing people from side loading "your" (their, if they paid you something for it) [...].

    We have a bad habit of thinking when we buy something, we own it. For apps, music, movies, TV shows, and most media, you’re not buying and owning it. You’re buying the *right to use* the media. 

    That agreement that pops up when you turn on any Apple device and everyone clicks Agree to without reading. It spells it out pretty clear. You’re getting licenses to use, not actual ownership to anything. 

    Thought, I get your point... :smile: 

    Just saying :blush:

  • Apple launches early access program for Apple Arcade

    Apple’s charging employees because it’s the only way to truly test the SUBSCRIPTION service. You need to run the test with a paid (nominal) test. It’s not a requirements for employees to test, but if they want early access then they are getting to play for very little, while helping to find and report any bugs. This isn’t the QA team doing testing....
