ICLOUDDISK UPDATE

Please, for the love of God, update iWork back to usable status. ITunes just got a nice UI re-think, but it was not a complete job, and we may hear what the long-term plan is for it at WWDC. I think it’s more of a “gee whiz” feature than a useful one.Īnd if I call out “Hey Siri,” does my mac, my two iPads and my iPhone all respond? It would be nice if my devices kind of figured out which one was in charge and I only got a response from one of them. A voice interface doesn’t save a whole lot of time, in the end.

It’s probably an improvement, but usually I’m already at my Mac, with my hands at the keyboard. I’m getting fed up with making the wrong motion with a finger and then winding up on a different desktop or seeing the window I’m working on shrinking down to micro-size as I’m trying to get things done. What I’d like to see is a simplification of the desktop to eliminate obscure gestures and replace them with on-screen cues. None of that was exactly an in-demand necessity nor a sea-change. Last year was a new system font, Safari pinned sites, a notifications panel and yet another way to control your desktop windows.

And that may necessitate making a new version of the Mac OS.Īs for the nitty-gritty of Mac OS X features, Apple seems to just work from a big top hat full of slips of paper to figure out what to do next. I do know in my bones that Apple wants to make their own processors for the Mac. I don’t know if we’ll get a complete answer as to what’s going on. Have they got something to replace UNIX? Or maybe the marketing people may be bored and are just changing things for the sake of change. OS X has been a marketing tool for over a decade, and to push it aside might mark a huge turn Apple is making. The rumored re-brand of Mac OS X to macOS has something else behind it. Mac App Store is lonely and needs a sandwich. That’s only 62,500 apps per category to scroll through to find what you want. Searching by category can be a lost cause, as the 1.5 million apps are separated by just 24 categories. Searches are not a complete answer for discovering apps, because you don’t always know what you’re looking for by name. IOS App Store changes have been detailed over the past week, but I’m not convinced that enough is being done. It would also be nice to be able to choose a different card on the fly at the POS rather than having to dive into the settings to do it. It’s not wrong to think that Apple might also become a PayPal-like system with its’ own accounts, but I don’t know if they want to scare off banks and credit card companies yet, who would be terrified of Apple taking over their sector and pull out of Apple Pay instantly. So here’s my guess: end-to-end encryption of all Apple syncing services.Īpple Pay has been going great, but the next step would be to allow loyalty systems and peer-to-peer payments. There really is no sense in guessing, and you would be a fool to try. ICloud did go out for half a day last week, which usually means that something was major being tinkered with. I’d also like to see some Mac backup features. The gold standard in file sharing is dropbox, and I’d like to see more features added to make iCloud Disk as flexible. ICloud Disk is behind the pack in it’s usability. And of course, to fix that “delete your library” feature which didn’t go over so well. But what does that mean, exactly? What would be changeable? My answer would be for better Genius-like discovery, shareable playlists and a cheaper pricing tier. Services:Īpple Music needs a cold slap in the face, and rumors do point to a “refresh” of the service. Something tells me that Apple will have a Mac event of some sort in July. I would be surprised if Apple wants to wait until the Fall event to talk about it, but I’d also be surprised if they unveiled them now.

Leaks also show a MacBook Pro refresh is coming, and it’s even in late enough stages to show some cases and an intriguing LED touch strip to replace the function keys. If they do anything on the computer side, it’s probably going to be a CPU refresh on the MacBook Airs. (Whooshing noise of an arid, empty landscape. Predictions? Well, more like a list of features I’d like to see.
