Counter argument: there are many app store apps that I would use on my laptop if I could - Unit converters, resistor code calculators, etc. I use them on mobile, and I google those things, but I would probably buy certain iOS apps to only use them on desktop if they were available.
- mikestew 9y agoMan, you could almost see that in the old OS X Dashboard. In fact, the early Apple iOS apps looked like they took cues directly from some in-house dashboard apps. I thought for sure that one of these days one would be able to put iOS apps on the Dashboard. Dashboard’s gone, but this still might work out in some fashion.
- abakker 9y agoThe Dashboard isn't gone! You can still enable it in Mission control and can decide whether it is a separate space or an overlay. I still depend on it for about 10 different international clocks all the time. I too hope to see iOS apps there one day.
- Corrado 9y agoI love the Dashboard and even updated an app that displays weather radar for my city. The idea of the Dashboard being an iOS app workspace makes perfect sense and I can't see how I missed the connection before.
