What do you predict the next version of macOS will be called?

primalanomaly,
@primalanomaly@mastodon.social avatar

@BasicAppleGuy in my perfect world, it would be called macOS ‘25, along with iOS ‘25, iPadOS ‘25, watchOS ‘25, and so on.

I’m pretty techy and own many Apple things, and I can just about remember we’re on iOS 17 and watchOS 10. I’ve no idea what codename of a place in America that I’d never before heard of is used by the current macOS, or what order any of them go in.

But this is probably far too logical to hope for 😅

The Apple Vision Pro has picked up three new games including oldie-but-goodie "Job Simulator," its follow-up "Vacation Simulator," and tabletop survival RPG "Demeo."

@appleinsider “job simulator” and “vacation simulator”? Oh god, this really is the bad place isn’t it 😅

@BasicAppleGuy @appleinsider no way Tim’s letting this go to market without his 30% cut 😂

"Embrace AI or be left behind" is a condescending and heartless ultimatum. A false dichotomy that reeks of debunked social darwinist horse-fuckery.

Tech should adapt to people's needs.

Not the reverse.

@primalanomaly@mastodon.social avatar

@Daojoan or is it just good advice that in the depressingly capitalist world we live in, the quickest and cheapest way of achieving something usually wins out? We’ve seen people and companies left behind by technology thousands of times over, it seems either arrogant or naive to assume it won’t happen again.

You can argue over whether something is good or bad all day long, but that doesn’t mean said thing isn’t going to happen regardless.

Vision Pro's international launch will be even tougher now that we know the device is two whole chip generations behind the iPad, and we've seen Apple's lackluster content/release cadence for it.

It desperately needs a whole lot more developer support and that doesn't come for free. Once that interest dies out…

Incidentally, forScore is the closest thing I've seen to a killer app

@stroughtonsmith honestly Apple’s chips could actually do with the kind of vague non-sequential naming scheme they reserve for macOS versions, so consumers stop worrying about the M version and just focus on the capabilities of the device.

On the flip side, it’s way past time they just adopted the year when naming their OS releases. MacOS ‘24 would be vastly more useful than some forgettable name of a place in America that I’d never heard of before 😂

The developer behind Delta has been threatened with legal action by Adobe, forcing the game emulator to change its icon.

Samsung Trolls iPad 'Crush!' Ad, Says 'We Would Never Crush Creativity' https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/16/samsung-trolls-apple-ipad-pro-crush-ad/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@macrumors people will criticise because it’s Samsung, but it’s pretty good marketing tbh. If it were the other way around, and Samsung had made an ad crushing creative tools followed by Apple releasing a response like this one, Apple fanboys would lap it up.

Following reviews saying that iPadOS limitations mean the new iPad Pro can't easily replace a MacBook Pro, Apple insists the two devices are complementary.

@appleinsider Apple are a shareholder-first corporation. They aren’t gonna sell people 1 device if they can get away with selling them 2 instead.

Following AppleInsider's discovery that Safari will add the ability to selectively turn off online ads, UK newspaper groups have complained to Apple about it being a danger to journalism.

@appleinsider so Apple disabling ads on third party websites that they don’t own is fine, but woe betide anybody who wants to bypass the App Store 🙃

Some of the iPad angst isn't that we have to wait 'till WWDC to see if the software is improved.

It's that little birdies have strongly hinted to us not to expect iPad to really go anywhere from here, that Vision Pro has sucked up all the oxygen inside Apple.

That iPad never really had the resources to fulfill its promises, and much of what was there has now been diverted.

That Apple's design folks couldn't really understand why anybody would want to use an iPad for anything but Pencil work

@stroughtonsmith it constantly baffles me how frequently Apple products get neglected (both hardware and software). They’re the most valuable company in the world - do they really not have the resources to have a full time team dedicated to making something like the iPad the best it possibly can be at all times? Wild.

According to Stu Maschwitz at @prolost the "Let Loose" Apple iPad event was shot entirely on iPhone — but with external lenses. Pretty interesting setup! https://prolost.com/blog/panavision-iphone

Spotify by far has the largest music streaming share in the EU and has now enlisted smaller services to go in with it on a complaint saying that Apple is defying the Digital Markets Act.

OK, creatives, is this really about the ad, or is this latent existential angst about generative AI?

@stroughtonsmith it’s just the latest example of Apple being out of touch with consumers, because they’re a company run by accountants now 🤷‍♂️

Not just for iPad - Apple has updated its Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro creative software suites, enhancing their functionality with new AI-driven features for Mac users.

@appleinsider are Apple themselves actually using the term “AI” now? Have they finally given in and jumped on the buzzword bandwagon?

They’ve obviously been big users of AI for many years, but always seem to notably make a point of avoiding saying “AI” and instead going with “ML” or “LLM” etc.
