It wouldn't be beneficial to Apple. The direct comparison one might make is to Microsoft, who recently opened up .NET to have official Linux and macOS compatibility. The result is that enterprise and small businesses can deploy Microso

The notion that all of Apple's users are just fools for good PR is not one to which I bother to respond because I choose not to be called a pawn. Treating other people like that is, to my mind, a shallow dismissal of an opinion you did

No. Macs run macOS, iOS devices run iOS (and now, iPadOS), Apple Watches run watchOS, and Apple TVs run tvOS. They might have shared heritage but they are decidedly not the same platforms; these are not different form factors for the same t

Nah, then it wouldn't be a rumour, it'd be a leak. If you pay enough attention to the Apple ecosystem and horrendous tech journalism that describes it, you come to know the difference — rumours sound like Windows/Android-user

It's just marketing. It's still iOS.

Because these gestures are akin to keyboard shortcuts — they're not the only way to do achieve something, just a convenient shortcut. One could always request the desktop site via the Share sheet.

You'd use the new Files app the same way you'd use the current Files app … USB disks aren't the only way to use it. Seriously, am I being gaslighted here? The Files app is already available on iOS 12, I think it was introduce

How is the Files app a great example? It's available on iOS already.

Indeed there's no reason those shouldn't be available on iPhone, so thankfully they are. The name is just marketing; if in doubt, just see what's new in iOS in general.

Never trust rumours. Rumours are tinged with bias. Rather, prefer to trust the horse's mouth and its history. Apple has always said they wouldn't merge macOS and iOS, but they have a history of bringing iOS frameworks to macOS for

iOS/iPadOS does have a workflow subsystem, which is how the now built-in Shortcuts and Siri Shortcuts work. What Apple needs is to offer more triggers for intents to be used like, as you say, a device being connected.

Heh. I'm just a fan of the right tool for the job. ;-)

You're welcome to your definition, but if you think developing for desktops, notebooks, smartphones, and tablets, with all the differences they encompass is trivial, you're in for a shock. Even with other cross-platform offerings

Because not all of your "fellow developers" have the same priorities as you. For a lot of developers, targeting just the Apple platforms is still a worthwhile investment in itself: Apple's customers tend to pay higher price

I'm sure SwiftUI has been in development for a long time, but it seems to me to be Apple's response to frameworks like React Native and Electron. We get a simple way to make UIs for multiple platforms, we get a nice batteries-incl

Code blocks don't wrap on Stack Overflow. Reading the story brief was very difficult. Consider reformatting it.

Fairly sure hardware H.264 decoding has been included with every Mac, usually on the GPU, for years and years now. A couple years after the iPhone, I think.

And it seems like you created an account just to slag off somebody's work without providing any real constructive criticism; no, thanks. Are you an iOS or macOS app developer? Then you'll see the benefit of being able to look thin

When GP asked for GGP to elaborate on their approach, I think they meant for GGP to discuss their wrapper around constraints.

I disagree that this is about ordering. In no ordinary circumstances does that person's name become Peña Nieto Enrique, in that order. His name uses the Spanish naming system whereby both the mother and father's name are included

It goes from grammatically awkward to semantically awkward. I think OP/GP's point is that it's very odd that we go through hoops to avoid the clearest articulation of the point: "two female programmers".
