iOS 17.4 Is Good For Consumers, But Bad For The Open Web
By
–
iOS 17.4 is out now with extensive changes for iPhone customers in the EU. One of the biggest is the allowance of third party browser engines for the first time on iOS. To this point, all non Safari have been required to use Apple’s open-source WebKit rendering engine. Which means that its been really hard…

No Apple Event for New iPads?
By
–
Looks like the exciting new iPad Pros will not get the standard spring Apple event treatment, and will instead be introduced via press release and prerecorded video. I’m of two minds about this, if true. On one hand, Apple has seemingly stopped doing live keynotes all together, so basically all product announcements these days come…

The Thinnovation of the New iPad Pro
By
–
Most hardcore Apple fans have their own internal definition of what is “Apple-like”. You usually hear that term when Apple releases something without their normal level of fit and finish. Or when they do something seemingly more aligned to drive revenue than improve the customer experience. My definition came from the iPhone 5 era. When…

Why Aren’t More Apple Products Based On macOS?
By
–
Since the Vision Pro was released, I’ve seen some debate over whether or not VisionOS leans more towards iPadOS or macOS. While I think the answer is clearly iPadOS, it did get me thinking about Apple’s operating systems post Mac OS X. Every new Apple OS since the iPhone has been a descendant of iOS…

It’s not everyday that Apple releases a brand new product and a brand new platform. Vision Pro looks to be one of Apple’s most ambitious products to date, and makes a bold statement about Apple’s vision for the future of computing. I’m more of a software guy, so VisionOS has been more of my focus…

The DMA Is A Step Towards Setting iPad Free

When I look at the iPad Pro, I don’t see this product with huge deficiencies. And while nothing is perfect, It’s a great mobile computer that, if you want, you can get a lot of work done with. But there are still things Apple can do to improve the product. And it looks like Apple…

A $1500 Starting Price for an iPad Pro?
By
–
A $1500 starting price for an OLED iPad Pro…. Ouch….. We’re getting close enough to the supposed release date of the new iPad Pros that it feels like rumors should be given some credence. The negative reaction to this reminds me a lot of the reaction in 2016/2017 for the iPhone X. $999 for an…

Requiem for my Surface Duo
By
–
It wasn’t very popular or well liked when it was released. A second revision did nothing to help its fortunes, and rumors suggest Microsoft has put the product on ice for now. But I love the Surface Duo. And though it was never my main phone, it was a great secondary phone, and an even…

iPad Misconceptions: Apple Silicon Killed the iPad
By
–
I should have written this a few years ago but I was very busy continually making excuses as to why I wasn’t going to start blogging 😁. There’s a sentiment I still see a little bit around the ‘net, but was way more prevalent around 2020-2021. There is the thought that by upgrading (side grading?)…

What’s the Point Of A Foldable iPad?
By
–
The foldable smartphone market continues to grow, albeit slowly. A TrendForce Report predicts sales of foldable phones will come in a little under 20 million units in 2023. By 2027, the report estimates that foldable sales will reach 25 million units in 2024, and 70 million units in 2027. Those numbers sound big, but for…
