The first generation Apple TV was just a Mac app running on OS X. The second and third generations were an iPad app running on iOS. Touch Bar was an app running on watchOS. This isn't really a fair characterization of new products 😅

@stroughtonsmith the promise was to have a highly responsive all purpose ai thingie in an offline - capable device .
So it’s a let down

All the RAM and virtual memory in the world didn’t stop Final Cut Pro for iPad from cancelling an export the moment I switched to another app in Stage Manager for a split second🥴

Apple Announces ‘Let Loose’ Event on May 7, Presumably to Announce New iPad Lineup

We're 5 years in now and even the most talented and experienced SwiftUI devs aren't building apps that are better than what you could build before, nor does it seem like there are kinds of apps that weren't possible before.

And still, a large chunk of dev energy is spent just trying to make it ‘as good as' before, too. Churn for the sake of churn. Some big apps have fancy new UIs with terrible layout performance, completely squandering the long-held lead Apple's chip teams bought the platform

takeitev,

@stroughtonsmith I wrote couple of apps in last 10 years for customers that use CALayer to animate features on the screen at fast pace. Currently there's no way these could be replaced with SwiftUI - and there does not seem to be a future feature on the roadmap that would do that.
This reminds me of a customer I had in the past, that used scsi protocol over USB to talk to his device - which couldn't be used anymore due to way apple treated some device drivers of the past. :/

This is ridiculous:

  1. MKBHD is as fair as they come

  2. Honest reviews are a huge favor to any company smart enough to pay attention

  3. If Humane has its act together, it paid someone with reviews experience to evaluate the product and knew what to expect

One of the big worries I had with Swift from the very start was how long it would take me to get back to building cross-platform apps and games if I adopted it.

Well, we're here, ten years later. Swift is robust, portable, and with C++ support easily handles Windows, the Windows App Platform, and now game dev through the magnificent work of @Migueldeicaza and SwiftGodot. I can build a game in Xcode and Godot that deploys to Windows, Linux and Android using Swift, and that's pretty f-ing cool

Little demo project, built with Swift and Godot, running on Windows 11. A character moves in 2D, a sprite sheet updates based on that movement, and there’s a text label that shows the Swift source file that its compiled from

takeitev,
@takeitev@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith looking forward to see what you come up with . Godot is quite amazing, but I’m not sure if there’s a swift scripted language version

visionOS is Apple's most locked-down general computing platform in history; the kinds of features Apple keeps for itself in the name of ‘privacy’ are absolutely going to cause massive antitrust issues if those restrictions are all still in place by the time the platform takes off (on this form factor, or another). Virtually every defining feature of the platform experience is already a red flag. Kinda wild that Apple, already aware of its obligations under the DMA, would design an OS like this

takeitev,
@takeitev@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith which is why I am always asking myself now, will I ever get one when they are available in the UK? I see no point currently . It might be a cool gadget to have a demo on

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social avatar

Now that the App Store has opened its door to emulators, you might start to see some of the virtual arcade rooms come to visionOS, officially sanctioned. Combined with SharePlay & spatial personas, that could be a real interesting social space

@stroughtonsmith I bet you some apple shindigs didn't think there's going to be interest vs hassle, they got proven wrong by AltStore - and finally see some benefits of EU. AntiEU folks in the UK have their heads spinning.

If Apple is dumb enough to start leaving markets in which it can't follow the law, it's not gonna have many markets left.

Apple’s one trade (or otherwise) war away from losing access to China. It would be colossally stupid to voluntarily leave a western market for the sake of one man's ego.

Apple's OS build process is overseen by Ireland. It has consumer apps teams in France. The iTunes infrastructure itself is run out of Cork, last I checked
