There’s a toggle button to allow the iPad versions of their apps to run on visionOS. It would take one person less than four minutes to allow it. Is it an amazing experience on Vision Pro? No, but it would be a good one at least.

The old Apple AirPort Express could turn any USB printer into a networked printer.
11% increase in revenue. Lays off a thousand employees. Great to see capitalism working for people and not corporations.
It should be in control center, or configurable to be put there.
Ringtone volume is set under “Sounds & Haptics” in settings.
It’s a “sticky” setting in that, if you have “change with buttons” turned off, you have to go back to settings to adjust the notification/ringtone volume, but I’ve always treated ringtones as on/off rather than specific volume levels, because of the silent switch. I don’t ever want my phone to ring loud, so I have the volume set low just in case I happened to forget to put it in silent mode.
The Apple Magic Keyboard works wired and with Windows.
Most manufacturers don’t license the instruction set, only the Cortex core designs. Those licensing fees are actually lower than the instruction set.
So… for every 10 million devices Apple sells, ARM makes $3m? Last year Apple sold 232.2 million iPhones, 60.4 million iPads, and I can’t find a statistic for Mac sales in 2022 only 7 million in a particular quarter, so maybe 21-30 million. We’ll say 30.
That’s ~320 million devices at 30¢ each (and doesn’t include AirPods, Apple TVs, Watches, HomePods, or any other ARM based device Apple sells). That’s $96m dollars for the license to an instruction set Apple helped create, used for chips Apple designed, and that Apple pays to have fabricated.
Nearly $100m a year on three product lines that don’t use ARM Holdings’ cores, or require ARM’s involvement in engineering or manufacturing, only the instruction set seems fair to me.
I’ve used both, and the Magic Keyboard is the better laptop replacement by far. I couldn’t go without the trackpad at this point. I use my iPad as an iPad all the time, but I also use it as a thin client to remote into my Mac. I did this sometimes before the Magic Keyboard existed, and it was handy, and I could be somewhat productive, but it’s a thousand times better with the trackpad.
That’s exactly what they’re doing right now. They’ve not made an indefinite commitment to it, but it’s the second free year for a device enter its second year.
If you’re interested, the company they partnered with was Motif, and they have apps for iOS and macOS. Same quality and very intuitive layout editing.
It’s not to adapt cables, it’s to adapt accessories.
I’m not sure WHAT people want from a device this size that wouldn’t be “boring”. The incremental updates to the watch, year over year, have made it a fantastic device, and more features or design changes just for the sake of change seems stupid.
Apple didn’t solder RAM to their devices in 2010 +/- 1 year
