Lots of cool fucking changes coming to OSX and iOS.

Steve Jobs should have died sooner. Ok that's a bit harsh, but nice to see Tim moving things along.
 


I still have to pinch myself when I see you posting about Apple. :)

Looks nice, but still haven't touched Mavericks, so I'll wait and see. The iOS 7 look lends itself better to OSX though I think and hopefully we get fully integrated airdrop.

Hahaha. I know right? I use to spill so much hate, but I was misguided.
 
Did they fix OSX yet? Mavericks was malware for my MBA... had to go back to back to 10.8 (which they don't make easy).

I'm still trying to figure out why they changed the "names" of OSX releases from cool animals to bullshit.

Before, we had names like Tiger and Mountain Lion...

Last two releases are Mavericks and Yosemite? Gaaayy...

OSX Honey Badger, Armadillo and Narwhal would sound much better...

Not had any issues with Mavericks on MBP or iMac. I'm looking forward to this health thingamyjig they're releasing though...
 
It's pretty surreal to watch a crowd of apple fans getting excited about things which have been available on other platforms for a long time. I just dont get it at all. I like apple hardware, although more for the build quality than anything else.
 
I didn't really have any major issues either, just got fed up with accessibility so when I upgraded by SSD I decided to go back to ML.

I don't understand the issue with moving back being a pain. Installing an OS on a Mac, assuming you have a Time Machine backup, is one of the most painless stress-free exercises in computing I've ever experienced. Windows fans have no idea how hard their lives are. It's one of the most significant reasons why I'd never go back to Windows.

OK...

Then of course you have stuff like the flat UI in Yosemity, which is nice imo but nothing "new".

Was also something about a "today view" in the calendar app i think... i mean really lol.

I'm not saying these "uprades" aren't good, I just find it fascinating they got a load of people to practically cum in their pants in a room together then talk about it on the internet over this stuff. Mind boggling.
 
Ah, gotcha - you're on about phones. I thought you were talking Windows/OSX.

I couldn't give a fuck about phones to be honest. If I can make a phone call and respond to texts and the occasional email, I'm happy - within reason.

I think to pull out a few small things as well is just being disingenuous. This is obviously partly catching up to Android on the iOS side.

I think you miss the bigger picture. This set of updates seems to spell a new era for Apple. They are now willing to compete with Android. It would not just seem to be about the experience, but that they will now compete on features. This has been what everyone has been thinking they need to be doing the last few years and wondering why they haven't.

That's not to say the experience isn't important the entire update is circled around "continuity" - or having everything work together.

They are also competing for developers. Do you think releasing a new programming language was some kind of random thing? Most developers these days don't want to write Objective C. It's probably one of the greatest hurdles for writing code for iOS. This should figure in to having a more attractive platform for developers.

I personally think this is a huge showing for Tim Cook, that Apple is now different under his reign.

Come Sept/October when iPhone 6 launches, I think it'll go gangbusters.
 
Cool stuff about the integrated house. We should see some big changes to home automation in the following years
