10 million retweets later, Apple is having to explain some third party application's deficiencies
How is it a "deficiency" in CloudApp? OS X guessing at whether to use the discrete or integrated GPU is a completely new feature in the new laptops, and the CloudApp developers would have had no way of knowing how they would have been affected.
"Waa, Apple killed my battery life when I run this application at boot!"
That's essentially correct.
- godDLL 17y agoIt wasn't at the time of release, but now it is a deficiency in CloudApp, and the developer will no doubt work with Apple (or with Apple's documentation) to resolve the issue. The app is taxing the new hardware that it didn't see before, which couldn't be avoided, and is OK – as long as an update is planned and forthcoming that fixes that. EDIT: Et voilà: http://twitter.com/getcloudapp/status/12815742863 http://twitter.com/getcloudapp/status/12815742863 And you've got it backwards, I think. Apple just improved on battery life with the new hardware, through a new and automatic feature. It may not work optimally everywhere yet, but that's something that will get sorted out in a short while.
