So ruin macOS for the sake of inferior hardware.
- russelg 4y agoInferior hardware? The iPad Pro has the same CPU as a Macbook...
- behnamoh 4y agoBeg to disagree. There’s only so much computation a handheld device can support, regardless of its nominal CPU.
- timw4mail 4y agoKeyboard and trackpad/mouse is a huge difference from only a touchscreen.
- dividedbyzero 4y agoDon't iPads have that as well via the official case?
- filoleg 4y agoYou are correct, they do, via the official keyboard/trackpad case. Or you can even just connect any other bluetooth keyboard+trackpad (including the dedicated magic keyboard+trackpad for macs). And most of the keyboard+trackpad shortcuts/gestures are already the same on both macOS and iPadOS
- omnibrain 4y agoWindows 8 all over again.
- barkerja 4y agoThis is far from "ruining macOS". System Settings was one of the few areas of the OS that hadn't been updated in forever. This was long overdue.
- als0 4y agoJust because it hasn't been updated in forever doesn't mean it needs to be. I get the feeling that people get bored with a design and expect a design refresh.
- kergonath 4y agoIt hasn’t been updated and was really bad. It made sense back in 10.2 or so, but now every preference pane has tabs and buttons for modal dialogs and stuff. It needed about twice as many panes for each one to be manageable, and the icons palette does not scale that far (it’s actually quite confusing now on Monterrey, where all icons are very similar). The new one is not perfect. For example, the on/off switches are ugly and the layout is far from great, and I like “preferences” better than “settings”, which makes more sense for an appliance than for something you adapt to your liking. But the old one was very much not “not broken”.
