^ Of course. They can't talk about what they don't understand (none of them being developers).
However, it will be interesting to see what developers have ready for this fall and how they take advantage of the new API's available.
The general public only cares about easily falsified or exaggerated "techie specs," like GHz, megapixels, etc. You know, the things that people assume are the only factors in performance. (One of the reasons why the Pentium 4 sold so well despite being far inferior to other options at the time.)
"My computers got a 3Ghz Pentium 4...you've only got an Intel i3 1.8Ghz - mines better" hehe.
What you say is very true. People still dont 'get' that the specs listed rarely mean anything at all.
When was the last time any operating system, regardless of device, came with a manual?Words like 'initial shock' shouldn't have to apply to Apple products. Steve Jobs shipped his iPads without an instruction manual.
Yeah, a few developer buddies were telling me how they've made a ton of tweaks and it's much better.To be fair to Apple, the screenshots around really don't help - its been polished a lot in recent betas. In all honestly I was a bit concerned with the first few beta releases, text clarity was terrible, there were odd colors, etc. But for the most part its actually pretty much done now and is way better.
It may be a bit of a shock going from iOS6 to iOS7 for the first time, but nowhere near as much of a shock as it was going from iOS6 to iOS7 BETA 1.
Don't worry about it - its nowhere near as bad as the media are hyping it to be. Everything is laid out so much better within apps, and the clarity is now as good as, if not better than iOS 6. My only dislike is the view of folders when you are inside of them. They look a bit unfinished, but then given we're still in BETA they probably are.
That's the apple effect. MP3 players came with thick manuals before the ipod. I remember the clunky windows mobile 6 and old blackberries that came with manuals before the phone revolution in 2007. The idea that the device is supposed to be intuitive is a Steve Jobs concept that others are struggling to reappropriate.When was the last time any operating system, regardless of device, came with a manual?
My Gripes:
- Safari doesn't follow anchor tags (Why, Apple, why!?)
I've stated it elsewhere, its not a bug. That gripe I mentioned was a legitimate bug where they were ignored, but that was fixed and they are perfectly functional. As I've stated elsewhere.
