  • Mouse support over USB-C could arrive for iPad Pro in iOS 13

    suddenly newtonsuddenly newton
    A few thoughts:

    1. USB-C isn’t what enables mouse support. First, most mice (“mouses”) are USB-A or Bluetooth. And Apple no longer sells a wired mouse of any kind, so if they really wanted to support an iPad mouse, they’d go Bluetooth.

    2. The only time I want a mouse on my iPad is when I run software like Citrix Receiver to connect to corporate computers (usually Windows). Citrix already sells a mouse for iOS users of their app: https://youtu.be/9R6WcZkz-Ik (and it works well)

    3. I think using a pointer + mouse for native iOS apps misses the point of the tablet form factor. I get that some people think a tablet should be a desktop Windows PC, but I do not, and I do not think Apple thinks this either.

    Apple has deprecated OpenCL at WWDC'18 and the path forward is Metal.

    Samsung is dishonest. They don't deserve to get Apple's business.
    The only honesty that matters here is their ability to meet their contractual obligations and delivery targets as a supplier.

  • Apple bans cryptocurrency mining on the iPhone and iPad

    suddenly newtonsuddenly newton
    Right, I think you don’t fully understand this. Apple only curates what can be sold through the App Store. You can use you CPU to mine cryptocurrency in a web browser. Apple doesn’t prohibit your CPU usage fundamentally.

  • Review: 2018 iPad with Apple Pencil support might replace your iPad Pro

     Don’t be that person who parrots the 2016 meme of not using your iPad for iPad photography. We have moved on since then as have the cameras. Now we are aware that not everybody’s eyesight is the same and that the use of the larger view finder benefits and aids many with impaired vision or who simply prefer a larger view finder to take great photos. We are no more in the way then those people with those huge phones.  Please move into 2018 and stop trotting out that old offensive anti-iPad photography myth. Many of us who aren’t 20/20 would thank you for it.

    And since Apple never did anything with the smart connector other than allow a few keyboards to connect to it, it doesn’t even count as a pro benefit. I think this 2018 iPad with pencil support  will definitely give the pros a run for their money.
    You can do it, but it's a dick move to the people behind you who are using their iPhones to capture the same thing -- and who also may be pushing somebody in a wheelchair who doesn't want to see your iPad.

    So, I will continue to say it as I please. You want to use your iPad? Fine, be courteous to the others with disabilities around you-- but in my experience, that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Wow, that is a very, very specific and detailed complaint. I mean, when I take iPad pictures, there’s usually nobody behind me because I’m on the beach or whatever.
