It’s not enough to just continue this patch race. Apple needs to rethink their entire security strategy and possibly OS architecture.

And the statement “unless you happen to be a major critic of a government, you probably won't be a target of the spyware tool” didn’t call me down a bit. Does this mean the dictator regimes have won?

True, 3 ms is “barely a second”. But I wouldn’t have expressed it that way in this use case.

OK but so what? Do you look at your iPad screen and think "Wow that looks terrible! I wish it had micro LED." You know what would make a difference? A REAL OPERATING SYSTEM!!!!! One that lets you install any app you want. One powerful enough to let you develop real software right on the iPad. One which lets you easily browse or list files. One which lets you share files with other computers easily (including Windows computers). One which does not have any stupid corporate restrictions on what you can use it for.

Wow! You’re the exact opposite of me …and I’m also a developer.

1) I wish my iPad Pro was brighter and wasn’t so grey in the “black” areas.

2) iPadOS is such a great and reliable OS. I hope Apple never caves before all the pressure to open it up more — especially to wild and evil apps from untrusted sources. It would totally ruin the trust that my customers and myself feel.

3) My iPad is so great at exactly all my use cases. And I wouldn’t dream of doing things like writing code on it all day. Should I ever change my mind on that, I would rather screen stream to a professional developer environment. Since that performance is good enough for gamers, it would definitely be good enough for my coding.

4) I share documents (“files” in yester-lingo) all day, but would never dream of serving them from my own device. Github, iCloud, and Google Drive rocks. But of course, the people I share them with need to have at least some compatibility to the open and modern world. Windows user? Well, it’s all up to them.

5) And thanx Apple for not inviting corporations to put all their backwards-thinking restrictions on our i-devices. We already have Microsoft if we wanted that.

I'm a bit worried about the talk of SD and HDMI, as I personally think going all USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 was an improvement. I think, though, if they do go with a new MagSafe power connection, there may be potential to put these ports, plus Ethernet and some other stuff, on the power brick, as currently done for Ethernet on the new iMacs. Of course, I'm sure this will be very unpopular, but I'd rather see them do that than put more large, and structurally compromising holes in the side of the MBP's chassis.

Hell, they could put all ports on the brick, and just have the MagSafe on the MBP itself. I mean, that would be going a bit far, but it does improve the structural integrity of the unit.

I don’t agree with you at all. Putting essential parts in the brick makes sense for a stationary computer like the iMac, but would be terrible for a portable one like the MBP. It would principally require you to carry that specific brick with you all the time.

Somebody should publish the pictures of those two sleazebags on Facebook.
