There has been a 64-bit update for the MAS version of Civ V. For some reason, it has until now not materialised on Steam, though.
Oh wow. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll just go ahead and buy it. I’m approaching 3700 hours in the game. I think they could stand to get another $50 (or whatever) from me. ;-)
So far it’s underwhelming in regards to iPhone. iPad is getting a lot more in comparison and I hardly touch my iPad. Maybe that’ll change but I doubt it.
The fall guy and an opportunity for Cook to remove a threat. Too Jobsian.
I hope the files app on iPad becomes a comprehensive file manager, full external drive and directory support, both via the port and remotely.
Expect them to be encircled like most of those already are in macOS.

Maybe it will, but you’ll probably have to wait until September for the Series 5 models to see it. There’s only so much such a diminutive device can do with its current hardware, anyway…
I hope Tim cools it with the fake excitement. It's perfectly fine to just be as excited as you are. No need to go over the top and make it seem like you're not really excited at all but just putting on a show so we'll all be excited and buy your new stuff.
Hardly the fall guy. Unless you believe Apple Maps and Siri were ready for prime time when released.
That's still under-delivered..... Yeah, that would be great. They haven't done much with either of those categories since TC gave Forstall the boot
looks like I will be hanging on to 10.14 for a long long time.
It’s SUPER weird that your post is calling for the return of Forstall, yet your avatar is Mansfield... literally the gentleman he got axed for bullying out of the company.
Pick a team! You’re making my head hurt, lol.
The best thing iOS 13 could have is some sort of watchdog for apps that DRAIN your battery, such as going to bed with a 92% charge and waking up with a dead iPhone. And I mean not because I fell asleep watching Netflix and it played episode after episode all night...I mean nothing going on. Lock it and set it on the night stand. Morning time...dead. Battery usage graph looks like the face of a cliff.
I'm looking forward to seeing the keynote. However, Apple seems to be moving in the direction of everything targeting creators of content, music, photos and videos, graphic artists, etc. I wonder for how long their products will be useful for the rest of us.
I expect to be highly disappointed.
Heartbreakingly so.
I don’t say this to be snarky, I say this as a long time Apple fan and customer. It’s just the trajectory this company is on. And the leaks look Terrible.

I haven't been a Mac OS user for a while, but I'm excited to see what Apple has to bring this year. If they bring more desktop-like features for iOS I may just switch assuming we get real Photoshop or Adobe XD. I'm also hoping Apple adds functionality to run iOS apps/games on Mac OS.
Looking forward to Monday.
Whatever Apple presents at their keynote it could never be as bad as the snooze fest that was Google I/O.

How about just sell Mac OS X the same way Microsoft sells Windows. Just sell us the unlocked OS so we can build our own desktops (especially since Apple isn't interested in making current desktops anymore) and load it on them.
Microsoft is making plenty doing that. The only reason Apple wouldn't is simply unbridled greed.

Ever since Snow Leopard (I know, I know, that was a looong time ago) all I've ever wanted from was a much more powerful tower type computer (MacPro type). The endless Mac OS updates since then haven't improved the Mac experience one bit except to mate the Mac with the iPhone. Some would say, it's been downhill ever since. I certainly don't enjoy it as much that's for sure.
