Not really. Tim fired Scott because he was too innovative, a "troublemaker" like Steve Jobs. Felt threatened. Now you see where they are, everybody's scared to innovate. They're happy to sit back and rake in the cash from everybody stuck in the ecosystem.
[doublepost=1527094426][/doublepost]I hope Tim Cook gets some dust stuck under his keyboard during the keynote.
Wow, that’s hilarious. Scott Forstall was so damn innovative that everyone refused to have meetings with him and Tim was scared and fired him. Is this really the narrative that you have in your head? And they’re not innovating anymore, is that what you’re saying? Man, that’s something strong that you’re on.
Remember it’s only “innovation” to tech people if it slaps you in the face with it. The CRAZY engineering that went into the faceID system doesn’t count...somehow. Yet a bezel being .1mm thinner is heralded in the greatest breakthrough in tech since the inception of the internet.
Interesting ... this pic with rumoured SE was shown on these threads on March 22nd. Hmmm

While I fully agree on Forstalls forward vision and creation of iOS and where the iPhone should be heading too, I’m not sure about innovation being his downfall. I believe news had to do with him being very tough to work with as an executive director - yet I’m not sure Tim had support from the board of directors letting him go. The recent bugs and folly increased on iOS under Craig since he left if eveidently obvious to us all letting him go without a specific focused and experience programming lead was a dire mistake.
In my mind bonus and stock should NOT be awarded anymore as a promise. They should be earned like their pay should be earned!
Features being heavily delayed beyond promise (public delivery: iMessage in iCloud), increases bugs and bafoon like errors (battery throttling, etc), or failed sales targets (HomePod) should be met with a serious discretionary disciplined action - frozen and delayed stock divestiture payout (non interests) until ****/changes fix such issues. Make their want to have stock gains based on their effort to earn that!
All this BS clamouring for Apple to “save our kids from the internet” and prolonged iPhone use, is missing the point. Make the brass act like they earn what their given and manage their time better, and it’ll show on product launches, features delivered, board meetings, end users getting non big laden software and the youth will take better notice and behave better based on the products and services their using ... yet most proper parenting would resolve that.

PLEASE somebody attending call out loudly to Cook “what’s going on with the Mac Mini”?!
Embarrass this CEO for slowing his company to continue selling a now 4yr old computer with absolutely no hardware updates!

An iPad is not a computer. You can't code on a tablet, and if you have to carry around a keyboard you might as well bring a laptop.
It saddens me to agree - The reason i bought my first ibook was it was WAY better than any PC at the time for me as a student, the battery life was superior, the operating system was superior (work flow orientation - not fancy feature orientation ) - then i got an airport HOLY MOLY wifi that just worked... then a iMac - sweet mother... and a apple TV... DANG that worked ..... a mac mini, a macbook pro to replace my old ibook ....
It was a hard blow for me to know you discontinue your airport line - it is the best AP out there by fare (i know some will disagree and they are allowed to do so)
and the update rate, and especially the GPU options for macs... its not ok.
Now i just start to ramble :
I bring my mac to do work, on my old imac, it could unclick/screw it from the stand, and it would fit in a samsonite suit bag - the new THINNER(who care about thinnes on a desktop computer + but you made it alto wider so it takes up more space on my desk, and it no longer fit for travel, and the stand is now non removable.)
Also the first iphone it was sleek and durable - could you not make the next iphone same thickness but durable ?
right now i have super sexy iphone that feels really nice in my hands, then i add a 2$ silicone cover to protect it so it wont cost me 500$ to drop it.... I KNOW protection is not sexy - but that extra millimeter of bezel in a durable shock absorbant material - damn it would be nice
The problem for me as a developer is the lack of a terminal and have full accesso to the filesystem.
When I debug my iOS apps I manipulate the local FS a lot, and that's the main reason why I use the simulator. I could do a part of my job on the iPad, but not everything. And I don't like working on small displays, so it would have to be the 12'' model, but that iPad and an external keyboard aren't much more portable than my macbook pro, so I don't really care about xcode on the iPad.
Using playgrounds on a tablet to learn Swift is ok, doing some real work on it is a different kettle of fish
An iPad is a computer and to debate otherwise is ignorance .
not likely to happen. IF there is a Plus from that series, which I am not expecting, it will likely come with the Xb, 11 or whatever they decide to call it. which will be announced in the fall
[doublepost=1527178908][/doublepost]
Coding is NOT the end all and be all definition of what makes a computer. the iPad might not work for YOUR computer needs but you aren't everyone. so get over it if it works for some folks
[doublepost=1527179280][/doublepost]
I'm not. Hardware wise the only things I'd like to see in the new iPad Pro (which would make me buy it in a heartbeat) would be
1. storage up to 1TB
2. a better screen, perhaps OLED but certainly with 4K HDR (If they can do that without OLED that would be fine)
3. wireless charging
that's it. give me that and I'll buy
add
4. a wireless charging Pencil with some different tip styles
5. a smart keyboard that doesn't fail in 3 months
and I'll stay up to preorder the whole set
for me its software stuff that is my issues. like why the heck we don't have a photos app that allows editing of metadata like the Mac one does. why there's not plug in support for templates, editing tools etc in all app, why we still have to download a whole freaking app for a 3rd party keyboard etc.
if we get smaller bezels, face id etc that's cool but I won't gripe if we don't.
[doublepost=1527179458][/doublepost]
Mac Pro no. Mac Mini maybe. probably won't be a huge update though. i know folks are hoping for all kinds of bells and whistles but honestly it might be only storage bumps and maybe a processor that can handle 4k if it isn't there already (which from age I bet it's not) and that 4k might be for viewing only not rendering. certainly you won't be able to do AR, VR etc.
[doublepost=1527179733][/doublepost]
I don't think it will be just bug fixes but I do think that it won't be a total design overhaul like folks think. I suspect all this talk about iOS apps on the Mac is off. I think it will be more like developer tools so that they can basically great one version of an app and "port" it to the two styles easier. rather than having to think of them as two totally different apps. and perhaps a merging of the stores so you can bundle your Mac and iOS versions together as one purchase set. but that would be all.
and then some merging of features across Apple's lineup. like restrictions options being the same across both. i mean it's nuts that I can stop my nephew from logging into the computer after bed time but I can't do that to his iPad. Or how about I can add third party fonts and templates to Pages etc on the computer but not iOS etc
All Apple news has been in recent memory is "hot & heavy rumors" on maybe
the next "iPhoneSE 2 Plus" [the 5.25" one, not the 4.5" one!] will be 2mm thinner!11!!1!
Oof.
the next "iPhoneSE 2 Plus" [the 5.25" one, not the 4.5" one!] will be 2mm thinner!11!!1!
Oof.
Yeah, it's called a dose of reality. Steve and Scott were really close, but when Steve passed everybody got into CYA mode and had to make sure their department was good for the bean counter. No long term innovation, no chances. Just the same old same old for the past bunch of years. What a waste.
If they're going to introduce a new Mac Mini, I bet it'll be one equipped with the latest iPad / iPhone processor. The rumour has been going around for ages that they're gonna start using their own processors and the Mac Mini would be the most logical place to test the waters with it.
