The only thing this ad-gate says is that anything ginned up about Apple is (still) the most reliable generator of clicks and discourse — and fainting couches.
While you wait for the Apple event to start, check out Screens 5.2 by @edovia. It now works with the Vision Pro and adds a handful of other useful features to every version of the app.
I don’t know what the future of iPad should be. But turning it into a laptop isn’t persuasive to me.
If I wanted a laptop, I’d have bought a laptop. The strength of iPad is that it isn’t a laptop.
Does iPadOS let the hardware down? Yes. 💯
But that’s a problem that should be addressed with a genuine solution, not just, oh well, turn it into a Mac… which I would politely suggest is actually a pretty profound failure of imagination.
My friend just got a Mac Studio but doesn’t want to pay a small fortune for the Studio Display. He’s got an LG connected and mounted higher on the wall. That’s for recording/monitoring stuff. He’s looking for a good desktop monitor that’s close to “Apple fidelity”. I’m coming up blank. But I don’t follow PC monitor news much anymore. Anyone got a suggestion?
I wasn’t jesting at all. Don’t get me started on the DoJ and DMA. I’m brutally angry.
I want Apple to be more restrictive, not less.
I want the wall of the garden to be higher and stronger.
Apples not perfect, but they care more (which is to say, at all) about the user experience than anyone else, because that’s the business model they’ve chosen.
There are examples everywhere even with their success Apple still can’t persuade companies to do the right things for UX…

South Carolina is rough and borderline dirty.
Geno was right. They don’t play basketball.
They’re fouling everywhere and everything and the refs don’t have the guts to call it. Just like on the men’s side with rough teams like Houston and Tennessee.
I think the danger in pulling out of the EU market is that a lot of (I guess) highly skilled EU people would work hard to produce a reasonable replacement. Which might actually become a EU success story if you think about it.
If Apple stopped selling iPhones, and taking apps from, the EU; what would prevent them from continuing to offer the App Store and other Apple services to customers who either travel, or purchase iPhones from other countries (eg switzerland)?
Is the EU going to build their own great firewall?
