Buckeye Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Why do I feel like Tom Hanks is Big when I say "I don't get it." It seems like a lot of hype to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palantir Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It would be nice if they had a Mac and reasonably sized Macbook < 1k. Also who exactly uses these super high powered computers like the Mac Pro? Anybody splitting atoms on their desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txlaw Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The design wasn't what I was expecting based on the rumors. It is indeed more flat, but it still looks very skeuomorphic to me. Not that I consider skeuomorphic a bad thing, I like it, I'll upgrade my ipad as soon as its available. I like the design too. It feels very fresh, and I like that they've taken a bunch of UI ideas from other operating systems. Interestingly, anyone who has been using the Yahoo! Weather app (recently released a couple of weeks ago) appears to have a gotten a little sneak preview of the new iOS 7 look. The app that Apple demoed today still appears to pull info from Yahoo!, so they must have collaborated on the Yahoo version that was just released.

Yeah, when I saw the weather app, I thought "They ripped that off from Yahoo." But maybe they worked together, or maybe this will precipitated another billion dollar world war of litigation. The mac pro suggests to me that maybe: 1) they are still designing new products and pushing the edge and 2) maybe the rumors of demise of the personal computer are overdone. Can't wait to see the new MacBooks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think perhaps you can get those through some educational institutions. I had one that never crashed once in 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as this fall goes, the meat will be in new product categories and new product segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Apple has clearly overdelivered with iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks. The new Mac Pro was icing on the cake by showing (once again) what Apple is capable of on the hardware side of things when they focus. Recently, Apple nailed the capital release plan (greatly increased buyback and dividend increase). Today, same with software. The table is set for the hardware releases coming this fall. Maybe Tim Cook isn't an idiot after all. :) Oh, and just imagine how well a wearable or living room device will fit into the Apple ecosystem. I think Apple is looking forward to proving the naysayers wrong. Innovation is likely alive and well; just because people can't see it doesn't mean its dead. Stock looks like the stock is being pulled back like a coiled spring; at some point sentiment will change and we will be off to the races.

jeffmori7 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Great iOs redesign I think, but one strange thing : is it just me or it was all about the iPhone, nothing to demonstrate this new OS on the iPad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 jeff, I think I read the ipad update will be available to developers in a few weeks. I think how the software (look and function) is intergated accross all the Apple devices is going to really going to impress. Another brick in the wall....

hardincap Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I was able to get 7b installed on my phone. There are quite a few bugs, but overall I like it much more than ios 6. Everything looks very nicely polished. Colors are a bit fruity but I think I can get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palantir Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hmm...it doesn't quite look like Apple, the colors are too harsh and not whimsical. Marissa Mayer spits on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardincap Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Everyone is focusing just on the colors but there is much more to it than that. the transition animations, dynamic background, multitasking, control center.. all very cool and functional. you have to try it to get a feel for it. control center is so useful, i think the side buttons (volume, silent mode) will go away w/ 5s.

racemize Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I saw some mention of improving the photo stream/photo sharing mechanism--for anyone with the beta version, is it much more user friendly yet? I find it so annoying that even when I want to share photos via the streams, I don't bother. (I'm not talking about the simple emailing of photos, but sharing the photo stream itself). Hopefully, the new organization mechanism will be nice as well, instead of the big lump of photos I currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the new multitasking features? The one thing I absolutely hate about my iPad is that I can't run two apps at once. I'd love to be able to play a sound file or a youtube video in one app, minimize it then use another app while listening. The iPad literally runs one process at a time. I've found even the tabs in your browser don't run in parallel. If you play a video or stream sound in one tab then switch to another it will continue to play for only a short while then stop. Very annoying. It's like the days of MSDOS. You have to quit one application before starting a new one. If iOS 7 will fix this then I don't care what it looks like it will be the largest improvement to the iPad ever. I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know if this problem bothers iPhone users. Maybe you only want to do one thing at a time on such a small device, but for a tablet I would think listening to audio while browsing the web would be a common way people would wish to use it.

Guest wellmont Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think the market is looking beyond tablets and smartphones. you can see the muted reaction. the market has figured out what it thinks about tablets and smartphones. investors wants to see more innovative products from apple. not refreshes of old ones.

IOS already has partial multitasking. BTW, if you play a video stream on one tab and switch to another, you can't see the video and hence, it would be useless to have the video continue to play and consume resources.

Lectures, speeches, interviews, etc It's still a little unclear to me whether the multi-tasking involved with iOS 7 will allow what you're talking about. All apps will be able to update in the background if the devs use Apple's multi-tasking API, but I don't think that necessarily means that they will be continuously running in the way that would be required for your use case. I know that Win 8 has side by side multi-tasking. That might be one way to go if you often use your tablet in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
