iOS 9 is pre-release software with an expectation of changing APIs before it releases. So makes sense for them to have a hold on iOS 9 focused updates till release.

I think it has more to do with iPad Mini being differentiated from iPad Air as a entry level iOS device.

You can disable iCloud Photo library, atleast in current betas. Regarding iPhoto, it is being discontinued in favor of a new Photos app in Yosemite. Existing app should work with maintenance updates to it.

Yes, I was trying to convey that webviews are no longer second class.

by glasshead969 12y ago
It also looks like both iOS and OSX are using same Webkit Api. Webviews get the same stuff Safari has access to, which mean Webviews also get access to JIT compilation including FTL tier. More info in this talk: Introduction to Modern Webki

PCs have been a commodity for more than a decade now and Apple is still selling Macs at good margin. I think for Apple they like to view their hardware as part of a experience which includes iOS,App store,retail stores and of course the App

WhatsApp can be installed on older devices, they won't get the latest but last updated version of APP which supports iOS version on the device.

By the time Denver based devices are on market, Apple will be releasing A8 based devices, so it will probably be competing with A8 rather than A7.

I think Google should improve the way apps can ask access to these things. just telling us whats going to be used is not enough IMO, in fact i see this kind of dialog so many times and just tap through. I should be given option to restrict

i agree among consumers its high, but its still 4mil per quarter compared to 100s millions windows, android and iOS move per quarter. Also developer support is pretty poor when it comes to games on Mac and usually are buggy ports which are

regarding games not being popular on Mac app store, i feel like Mac is not in any way close to the scale of windows,iOS and android in terms of main stream popularity, especially internationally.

I feel like he addresses the new design as a risk which he thinks something that should be taken. If that's something target market doesn't appreciate,then ultimately this will be a failed product. But Mac Pro is targeted towards

64bit move comes along with ARM v8 move. It wouldn't make sense for apple to move to ARM v8 staying at 32bit. As far as I remember apple hasn't said that 2x performance improvement came from just 64bit. They included new ISA and 6

I think its been clear that the move to ARMv8 provides lot of benefits in terms of performance and cleaner instruction set. 64-bit comes in as free perk. Also Apple has used 64bit to improve ARC performance on iOS.

Minor correction: A7 SOC is cyclone not oscar. The article was updated. IMO cyclone is a apt name given benchmarks. oscar is name for M7.

At least it's LPDDR3, so it should be faster than iPhone 5.
