The first item under the Today tab's pinned iOS 16 feature is an ad. It's remarkable how quickly Apple's ideals were corrupted by greedy execs eyeing services revenue, meanwhile its OSes are stumbling out the gate https://twitter.com/...

Early impressions: Stage Manager is still fundamentally broken as a design, just slightly less broken than before. They've cut the dead weight (external display was very crashy) and expanded device compatibility, which will slightly lessen the negativity come new-iPad-review-time

The latest iPadOS 16 developer beta makes Stage Manager work with older A12X and A12Z iPads, but does not support extending the display to an external monitor

Another example of apps needing updates to function in Stage Manager — Photoshop's custom menus don't fit inside the window, and can't be scrolled. All the more egregious that Apple hasn't provided Stage Manager in the iOS Simulator over this year's development cycle https://twitter.com/...

Losing that pillar of my product strategy raises all kinds of questions, because I don't care all that much about building iPhone apps without iPad. I do like making Mac apps, though — bizarrely, complex UIKit apps are now at their best when on macOS, not iPadOS 16

Stage Manager isn't just an optional feature, it's a preview of the future of iPad. I'm realizing that that's just not a future I want to participate in. This is no longer an OS I enjoy, & I don't see a way to build the apps I want to build here. Today's beta all but confirms it

There is a whole hour of footage on YouTube, spanning the gamut from early whiteboxing and prototype UI, to a fully-rendered city with recognizable gameplay and potentially-final voice acting. This looks like several years worth of gnarly development clips

The leaked GTA 6 footage is fascinating — you're really seeing how the sausage is made. I love the debug output from its AI state machine. All recorded on RTX 30-series cards, so a good indication of how recent it is, but runs *terribly* so a good indication of how far away it is

I was going to post recently about how I never moved away from Photoshop and feel completely left behind by modern design tools (like Sketch, and Figma), but maybe now Figma's going to become part of the Creative Suite anyway 👀 https://twitter.com/...

Last I checked, the S8 inside new Apple Watch is basically the same chip as S7 in last year's, which is basically the same as the S6 in the year prior. Why has CPU progress in Apple's smallest iOS device effectively stalled? Has the M-series (and headset) sucked up all oxygen? 🤔

MacRumors

The new Apple Watches' S8 chip appears to have the same CPU as the S6 and S7, which may explain why Apple has lately only used the S5 or earlier for comparisons
