The fact that the 2020 iPad Pro doesn’t support the “pro” features in iOS 16. Only 2 years of full support felt like apple spitting on those who trusted the previously stablished 4 - 7 years of support.
This is not a defence but a speculation on why. I don’t think Apple cut this feature to sell more iPads or to cut cost, because it would be much easier to end support for the whole OS instead. Besides having the M1 chip, the 2021 iPad Pro and the 2022 iPad Air come with 8GB of RAM at minimum, as opposed to the 6GB minimum on the 2020 iPad Pro and 4GB on the 2018 iPad Pro. 8GB is the same amount on all base Mac model Apple sells. Obviously, having many more apps open at once and not being able to kill them in the background need more RAM, they even built in virtual RAM swap into the OS this year.
@@yichunjin7292 um... Apple makes a gigaton of money and them trying to make even more money doesn't seem unnatural. For companies it boils down to making more money - especially if you can buy stocks of them.

The ones who keep this from happening are Sony. AMD already showed they can do that with the 4700s kit, but because of contractual obligations they have to disable the graphical portion. Intel doesn't care and the closest thing from Nvidia is the Nvidia Shield/Nintendo Switch SoC.

Maybe I just have to have both, which would of course be what Apple tries to get me to do.
I started off with iPad Pro, recently got M1 Macbook Pro 14 as well. I do wish the OS was a little more robust with iPad OS, version 16 will alleviate some of that but still a long way to go.
@@Harvester88 theres a reason why apple dont give all the features to the IOS 16 right now. Its mainly because they want to keep some stuff for future IOS to keep you hooked and will ditch some older ipads/ipad mini so force people to upgrade their ipad.

If “desktop-class app” support allows Word for iPad to *finally* work with citation managers like Zotero, and if Microsoft finally fixes that old dog of an app so that it produces PDFs with clickable links on the index and on cross-references in both macOS and iPadOS, like it does on Windows (so much for feature parity… 🙄), I can see myself switching to an iPad full time while on the go, and even setting up a WebDAV server on a Raspberry Pi to host my library at home, instead of relying on ZotFile and cloud services. Until then, I’ll be stuck with my old 2012 13’’ MBP (or, in the future, an MBA) and that horribly buggy and crashy LibreOffice Writer thing.
@@MAGAIVER idk how it works with citation managers but pages is great for me. The in-line LateX support and the ability to use formulas in tables does it for Me.
@@MLWJ1993 sorry, I meant to say LibreOffice, force of habit. 😅 The truth of the matter is, LOo Writer *still* crashes like crazy, even after being updated to support Apple Silicon. I’m not sure if it’s maybe the Zotero plugin acting up, but seeing how Calc crashes, too, I’m guessing not (and, besides, turning it off in Writer is not an option, and toggling it just to keep Calc stable would be too much of a hassle, too). And it frequently crashes on all my Macs (a 2017 5K iMac, my new Mac Studio, that MacBook and even an M1 Mac mini I borrowed for a few weeks; maybe it’s a bad interaction with Monterey, but still… To top it off, installing Language Packs is sometimes a huge pain and has to be done manually, whenever the main app’s “kMDItemVersion” value isn’t properly indexed by Spotlight for some obscure reason, and those stupid installer scripts fail to recognize the proper LOo version *is*, indeed, installed and running (I don’t know whether it’s the LOo dev community’s or Apple’s fault, and I do not care; it’s a two-year-old bug that keeps randomly recurring and it should’ve been fixed already).
@@Mainyehc Oh, well. They seem to originate from the same source code anyway. Not a huge stretch that neither is perfect. I used Libre Office years ago & didn't really have stability issues (on a Windows Laptop though). Only actual trouble was converting to Microsoft Office compatible files to turn in to my teachers (they'd mess up formatting in some instances). 😅
No one talks about dex because it doesn't gets in your way when just using your table as such. And when you need a desktop experience, you just tap the toggle and boom, you have a no nonsense Linux like desktop in 10 seconds 🤷🏻♂️
In-person WWDC events are so much better. Nothing beats being there amongst many of the devs in the Apple community who are normally spread all across the world, and everything that entails (quiet peanut-gallerying, hearing the buzz on which sessions are must-attend, making new friends over drinks after the day’s events, and after-shows & parties!) I’ve been to WWDC only once (in 2007, as a student) and would definitely do again if they return to the old format.
Power efficiency *is* very important for desktop CPUs as well. Less power = less heat = more performance with same or smaller cooler. Also in datacenter context it makes a huge difference to cost, which is why we're seeing cloud providers moving to ARM as well.
not true but okay... please do tell me how R9 GPUs were using less power than nVidia but had higher thermals. Do tell me how Bulldozer wasn't lower power use buy higher thermals. why are apple users so basic bitch dumb.
The easy explanation of the API part is basically that it allows a developer to "hook into" Apple made API's to do certain task. Say you are editing photos in a third party app, using apples API to change a file name would mean the OS does it itself. Instead of the software asking the OS to hand it the file to do this and then ask the OS to store it again somewhere. It's basically extending features the OS can do, to developers, they interact with the API.
Jonathan's deep knowledge of Apple products, and hardware/software progression over the years, is amazing. I can see why he was added to the team and not at all surprised that Mac Address is doing so well.
MacBook Air M2 probably going to be my first MacBook. Wanted the iPad Pro for big tablet mode but just too expensive cause it can’t actually laptop even with this latest update. All AMD ultrabook is appealing especially on price/value however the M2 & Air are a tidy package!!! Pixel C with magnetic keyboard case was a great form factor ~US$750 at the time.
I am watching for an upgrade from my 2012 MacBook pro, I will miss windows as I need it for a lot of dev work I do but I hope parallels will suffice. But I'm sure that a base ipad and M2 MacBook pro would be a worthy combo.
depends. if you want to sit in Starbucks and want fashion and don't know much about computers then pick apple. if you aren't a f*gtard you will get literally anything else.
My M1 MacBook Air is my favorite device I have ever owned and up until getting it I was a lifelong Windows+Android user. Now I'm fully into the Apple ecosystem...it's just blown me away. So thin, so light, yet so fast...and the build quality just feels so great.
Because alot of those other devices don't have enough compute power & ram for it. Some might have more than enough, but it's a vast minority. Then people will blame Dex, instead of the under powered devices that they have
RE shared photo library: There is a big difference between having one person with their own library individually sharing photos to an album (which has an arbitrary limit on the number of photos, and are not the original photos) for other people to see and a library where multiple people with disparate Apple accounts can add photos from the camera app, import, edit, delete, tag, make projects and albums from any of their devices. That is what the shared library is bringing.
I still can't believe people that forked over a lot of money for a 20/20 iPad pro are now staring at a dated piece of equipment that didn't even get 2 years of proper feature support
Really excited to see a video about going back to an Intel Mac after becoming accustomed to an M1. After owning a 16 inch M1 Max since October of last year, I don't think I could last an hour with an Intel laptop, especially the MacBook Air.
If Apple should start introducing the Rainbow colours to the Macbook - that would probably be the one thing that would get me back to windows. People don't buy everything in matching blank or space grey aluminium for Apple to pass of a shade of blue instead alternatively next round. Honest opinion, wasting resources and keeping spares around for 6+ different colours is just bonkers too. Silver and black, and if that's not enough you get a skin, sticker it, mod it and paint it or you get a windows RGB machine. The majority of phones today does not feature a 3.5mm Jack and hearing such complaints about colors is exactly what got us here. Make sense of your position Sir.
I would hope that a laptop lasts longer than 2 years. I was interested in buying the new MacBook air, but when they revealed the price to be £1249 for the base model, I was very disappointed! That's probably very affordable and budget for fancy Apple users, but that's a premium laptop price in Windows land! I mean, I could buy the Dell XPS 13 plus for that money. And if I spec it with a decent amount of storage, like 512 GB, it gets eye watering-ly expensive! I am glad I backed out of that idea as I can continue to be in Windows world. There are several great Windows laptops that are far cheaper and similar in overall form factor and features as the Apple (Lenovo's new Yoga 7 pro). I'll keep looking around. This ain't for me though.
the only issue I have with my M1 MBA is the Wifi. It's noticeably slower than my iPad Pro 2017 or my Android phone. Do you know if this is fixed with the M2 MBA?
Reily, I'm using Dex on my S22 Ultra right now to watch this video! It's one of my windows on my work from home screen. Love it! And usually have 2 to 3 windows on Dex along with all of the windows I use on my desktop. I would say, Dex is pretty awesome for Samsung devices.
some apps don't run in dex and also you can't customize control center icons while in dex. I can't put wireguard's icon in there! i even left dex, set it up, opened dex and it wasn't there! but overall dex is amazing
Stage Manager looks interesting to me, but I'm concerned about using it on the iPad Air or 11-inch iPad Pro; my primary use for multitasking on an iPad is for writing, and even using split-screen with Pages or Word taking up the majority of the screen and another app like Notes only taking up the smallest portion of the screen can make the text in Pages too small for my preferences. With Stage Manager, it looks like the windows will be even smaller than in split-screen mode to account for the apps on the side and the dock, which I can imagine will only make that worse even if I resize the windows to be as big as they can. It looks like a super useful feature for the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro and for connecting the iPad to an external monitor, but for the smaller iPad Pro/iPad Air on its own, I have a feeling that I just won't find it very useful for my workflow at all, and I'll probably stick to using Pages full screen with Notes in slide-over.
Which is what I like about it as most iPad users are fine with the current multitasking system. I just wish we could have external display support without stage manager
It feels like the last intel macbooks apple put out, they intentionally crippled the cooling to make sure that they'd feel sluggish in comparison to their new apple silicon based ones. They have the ability to configure down the power limit and TDP of the intel chips and didn't with next to no heatsink
@@AllGuitarSucks I don't know what the exact model of MacBook it was, but Louis Rossman showed one that HAD a fan but there were no heatpipes leading to it.
What feels? What are you talking about? So you’re saying that the last laptops they designed in like 2015-2018 were purposely crippled in case the 2020 transition they were doing succeeded? You do realize they didn’t even know if Apple Silicon would succeed when designing those laptops you speak of… it seems dumb to help sink the ship you’re jumping from… but yeah, let’s go with that.
To me, stage manager just feels like a slightly more elegant Samsung Dex...I just hope samsung starts improving dex again, since it barely improved ever since I bought the Tab S7.....
😂😂 DeX is a cheap desktop emulator on a tablet and requires a mouse and keyboard to use properly Stage manager is actually a windowing system for tablets 😬 designed for touch interface It’s Way better and designed for touch interfaces.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Samsung had windowing capability (without dex) on their phone since before 2016 I believe. And its designed for a touch interface. You can see it in action back in 2015 here : ruclips.net/video/wdB3LFI_Eg0/видео.html Dex try to simulate the desktop experience, thats why its better with a mouse and keyboard.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Samsung has touch-centric multitasking/windowing withing their standard Android UI. DeX is specifically foe when you want to use it *as a computer*. You get both.
The safety feature you mention is only for children under the age of 13. Additionally apple does not have access to your child’s photos and instead designed it in a way where it utilizes machine learning locally on device.
“Adobe has to figure out…” or, hear me out, people could switch to Affinity Photo and let Photoshop die already. It’s a 32-year-old application, for crying out loud. And it’s almost guaranteed to have some 32-year-old code hiding under the hood, as well.
yeah. Apple like: here's another desktop feature for ipad... here's another one.... and another one... Meanwhile Microsoft: slaps a touchscreen onto the full windows, "she'll be right!". They also had that ipad-ish thing called WinRT, which nobody wanted.
@@victortitov1740 Windows RT was ahead of it's time (and pretty crap) Apple, as usual came 5-10 years later and made a better product. About the touchscreen.... i just refuse to buy 2 devices and all related accessories so i can basically have the functionality i need. Cheap windows machine can do this so no reason why apple cannot do it except scamming you out of buying both hardware and software twice (MacOS for base app and then for iOS for the iPad remote).
Thanks for talking about the iPad Pro features. I use it as my main computer and the stage manager feature was something that I’ve been looking for. Also it makes me feel less guilty about spending 1.5 lakh INR on a tablet. Well done Riley.
As a user of Samsung DEX, I think iPad users will find a lot of utility in stage manager. Imagine if they rolled it out to iphones as well... especially as now in europe new ones will have to have USB-C.
20:01 Great point. I came to this conclusion back when everyone was talking about iPad becoming a viable computer, it costs MORE than a Macbook Air in a decent configuration, while not delivering NEARLY as much as an Air could.
@@isaacwakefield5915 they do different things. One is touch based interface with note writing with optimized apps for specific tasks that is better than a hybrid like the surface. The other is a laptop with its own strengths. Seems pretty easy to understand.
the ipad pro is marketed as laptop/ pc replacement but thing is it practically too expensive to be a proper replacement. It is great as a tablet but it is really bad as a pc for what it worth.
Price is a non issue. As the tech matures it'll drop in price. But the form factor can't compare performance wise to a properly ventilated system, so laptop and desktop will always have the upper hand when it comes to demanding applications.
@@gutterg0d "so laptop and desktop will always have the upper hand when it comes to demanding applications." Which is why pricing is a issue. A lot of the things that the ipad pro can do; A similarly price laptop with a dedicated gpu probably can do far better. Then for the web browsing crowd: you got competitions with chromebooks that are far cheaper and just as dead simple to use. The problem with the ipad pro is that it fills a very tiny niche of artists and some professionals that don't need much for a computer otherwise you're better off with something else or a much cheaper ipad.
@@Shadowninja1200 I don't see that as a problem. It's a luxury product aimed at a certain category of people. I don't care about iPad pro the same way I don't care about tools for crocheting. I don't do crocheting, therefore anything I would use a crocheting tool for most likely has hundreds of better tools that's way more useful to me available. But I'm sure there are great crocheting tools for those who has a use for them, and I don't really care what they cost and it's still cool that they exist for the people who needs them. :)
6:00 I thought it was a feature of LPDDR5 where you could have memory chips in the size that is not a power of two, like 2x 12 GB, right? Otherwise it could create a memory imbalance or something (if that’s even an issue)
With the Studio Display having it's own chip - I wish there would be a way to wirelessly extend your iPad desktop to it (without the need for a cable) really seems like all the parts are there for that. And the functionality / software already exists within MacOS (wirelessly extending to an iPad as another monitor). One for the future?
Finally, those OSs get some interesting features. I feel like we're almost back at the same level of innovation we had in 2006 before the iPhone came out and mobile devices manufacturers/OS devs actually tried to make them more useful from a productivity perspective. I think we might be ready to even see a mobile version of Windows again. I loved Windows Mobile, it had everything: a close button (still lacking on today's OSs - you never know if the app is closed or running in background and it makes RAM management nearly impossible for the end user), a proper task manager in case you wanted to drill down, I even had a registry editor, I could change the "today screen" which I can still change in Android (launcher)... iOS has a little bit more to evolve to catch up to Windows Mobile 6.1, but it's getting there. Glad to see progress.
@@adfaklsdjf funniest thing is , apple all used windows mobile hand held terminals/scanners, for all their stores and depots etc etc, since windows mobile dominated basically all mobile logistics and mobile POS systems, of course now android dominates the HHT market
@@girlsdrinkfeck Yeah and where is Windows Phone now? Ballmer’s words have aged poorly. It was a good phone OS destroyed due to Google, Microsoft’s stupidity and incompetency.
Stage manager just cuts off 25% of your screen. You can’t freely resize apps. Can’t freely drag and position them. Can’t even close them without magical gestures. Apple just keeps dropping the ball on the iPadOS features. I’ve completely given app on using iPad as a proper MacBook replacement. It would’ve been fine if Safari supported modern web features, so that we can use the iPad as a glorified chromebook. But no, and we don’t have a proper browser choice on iOS/iPadOS.
The Macbook Air is Apple's Flagship platform for their new ethos of efficiency and performance. I like how cool their desktops run relative to their old methods of allowing 100 degree celcius temps
Efficiency definitely affects desktops and matters there as well. With the individual cores drawing less power than the competition they can throw in way more stuff more tightly packed together, Intel only has 8 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores whereas the M1 Ultra has 16 P-cores and 4 E-cores, with rumors suggesting it will jump to 16 P-cores and 8 E-cores with the M2 Ultra (don't underestimate the importance of E-cores in desktops, they're much more power and area efficient than increasing your P-core count to get more multithreaded performance (although developers will have more work assigned to them to optimize their apps to take advantage of a lot more E-cores, but that shift in the way progams work is already happening and when it does happen, increasing your E-core count to get more MT performance will def. be the best way). Also having E-cores means the P-cores will be more focused on the more performance instensive tasks while the OS assigns light and background tasks fully to the E-cores, that will very literally and directly make your computer faster and smoother.
I agree to a point your E cores are only going to help so much because you can only parallelize so much. Some tasks just have to be done in order and cannot be spread out. I think long term arm will be important for mobile and power efficient designs but I don't see x86 processors going away

Na it’s to the point I hate these mf how you guys gonna say , *drum roll* OMG GUYS DESKTOP CLASS APPS IPAD and then just … nothing…
I started off with iPad Pro, recently got M1 Macbook Pro 14 as well. I do wish the OS was a little more robust with iPad OS, version 16 will alleviate some of that but still a long way to go.
I'd wait awhile to see the problems with them because repairing them will basically be near impossible...
I personally use my Surfce pro for gigs as a classical musician and am very happy with it! But iPad pros also seem really good for that job :D
@@Harvester88 theres a reason why apple dont give all the features to the IOS 16 right now. Its mainly because they want to keep some stuff for future IOS to keep you hooked and will ditch some older ipads/ipad mini so force people to upgrade their ipad. I think that apple need to give something for ipad “PRO” something like IpadProOS so they have more features
If “desktop-class app” support allows Word for iPad to *finally* work with citation managers like Zotero, and if Microsoft finally fixes that old dog of an app so that it produces PDFs with clickable links on the index and on cross-references in both macOS and iPadOS, like it does on Windows (so much for feature parity… 🙄), I can see myself switching to an iPad full time while on the go, and even setting up a WebDAV server on a Raspberry Pi to host my library at home, instead of relying on ZotFile and cloud services. Until then, I’ll be stuck with my old 2012 13’’ MBP (or, in the future, an MBA) and that horribly buggy and crashy LibreOffice Writer thing.
What about pages? I am not an office user I just know that pages is supposed to br apples alternative to office, is it bad?
@@MAGAIVER idk how it works with citation managers but pages is great for me. The in-line LateX support and the ability to use formulas in tables does it for Me.
Isn't Libre Office a much more preferable alternative to Microsoft Office compared to Open Office? 🤔
@@MLWJ1993 sorry, I meant to say LibreOffice, force of habit. 😅 The truth of the matter is, LOo Writer *still* crashes like crazy, even after being updated to support Apple Silicon. I’m not sure if it’s maybe the Zotero plugin acting up, but seeing how Calc crashes, too, I’m guessing not (and, besides, turning it off in Writer is not an option, and toggling it just to keep Calc stable would be too much of a hassle, too). And it frequently crashes on all my Macs (a 2017 5K iMac, my new Mac Studio, that MacBook and even an M1 Mac mini I borrowed for a few weeks; maybe it’s a bad interaction with Monterey, but still…
To top it off, installing Language Packs is sometimes a huge pain and has to be done manually, whenever the main app’s “kMDItemVersion” value isn’t properly indexed by Spotlight for some obscure reason, and those stupid installer scripts fail to recognize the proper LOo version *is*, indeed, installed and running (I don’t know whether it’s the LOo dev community’s or Apple’s fault, and I do not care; it’s a two-year-old bug that keeps randomly recurring and it should’ve been fixed already).
@@Mainyehc Oh, well. They seem to originate from the same source code anyway. Not a huge stretch that neither is perfect. I used Libre Office years ago & didn't really have stability issues (on a Windows Laptop though). Only actual trouble was converting to Microsoft Office compatible files to turn in to my teachers (they'd mess up formatting in some instances). 😅
Just to echo other comments I enjoyed this format. I hope you do this more in the future.
Love this format! please do more of this!!!!
No one talks about dex because it doesn't gets in your way when just using your table as such. And when you need a desktop experience, you just tap the toggle and boom, you have a no nonsense Linux like desktop in 10 seconds 🤷🏻♂️

Why dose iPad os not have the default calculator app…. How have they made any push for iPadOS without theirs calculator app on the platform.
I find this puzzling also.

I think the "copy text outof video" function is really cool.
In-person WWDC events are so much better. Nothing beats being there amongst many of the devs in the Apple community who are normally spread all across the world, and everything that entails (quiet peanut-gallerying, hearing the buzz on which sessions are must-attend, making new friends over drinks after the day’s events, and after-shows & parties!)
I’ve been to WWDC only once (in 2007, as a student) and would definitely do again if they return to the old format.
Power efficiency *is* very important for desktop CPUs as well. Less power = less heat = more performance with same or smaller cooler. Also in datacenter context it makes a huge difference to cost, which is why we're seeing cloud providers moving to ARM as well.
Yeah it’s also lighter on your electric bill for home users and allows for quieter computing
not true but okay...
please do tell me how R9 GPUs were using less power than nVidia but had higher thermals. Do tell me how Bulldozer wasn't lower power use buy higher thermals.
why are apple users so basic bitch dumb.
But efficiency is better for mobile and power for desktop
But yes, we should strive for more power per watt and to use as few watts as possible
@@KingLarbear efficiency is power
I love this format, but I would love to see the unedited version of this.
I think there wasn’t an unedited version because the Apple hater went on a pointless rant about how they hate Apple and they had to cut it out.

The easy explanation of the API part is basically that it allows a developer to "hook into" Apple made API's to do certain task. Say you are editing photos in a third party app, using apples API to change a file name would mean the OS does it itself. Instead of the software asking the OS to hand it the file to do this and then ask the OS to store it again somewhere.
It's basically extending features the OS can do, to developers, they interact with the API.
Jonathan's deep knowledge of Apple products, and hardware/software progression over the years, is amazing. I can see why he was added to the team and not at all surprised that Mac Address is doing so well.
100000% agree on the idea that’s it’s way too expensive for what it does.
Very nice video, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up Riley
how did I not know about this talklinked.... this is awesome!
MORE TALKLINKED!!!! LETS GOOOOOO
lol
MacBook Air M2 probably going to be my first MacBook. Wanted the iPad Pro for big tablet mode but just too expensive cause it can’t actually laptop even with this latest update. All AMD ultrabook is appealing especially on price/value however the M2 & Air are a tidy package!!!
Pixel C with magnetic keyboard case was a great form factor ~US$750 at the time.
I am watching for an upgrade from my 2012 MacBook pro, I will miss windows as I need it for a lot of dev work I do but I hope parallels will suffice. But I'm sure that a base ipad and M2 MacBook pro would be a worthy combo.
You could wait until fall 2022 for MacBook air to go on sale
depends. if you want to sit in Starbucks and want fashion and don't know much about computers then pick apple.
if you aren't a f*gtard you will get literally anything else.
I have no regrets for daily use on the M1 MBA. It's running beautifully and way better than I could have imagined in something so small and light.
My M1 MacBook Air is my favorite device I have ever owned and up until getting it I was a lifelong Windows+Android user. Now I'm fully into the Apple ecosystem...it's just blown me away. So thin, so light, yet so fast...and the build quality just feels so great.
i love this format. i neeed more TalkLinked please
Should have uploaded this to the MAC Address channel.
The problem with DEX is that they do not include it on all their android devices.
Because alot of those other devices don't have enough compute power & ram for it.
Some might have more than enough, but it's a vast minority.
Then people will blame Dex, instead of the under powered devices that they have
Samsung Dex is an INCREDIBLE tool! I've been using it for years.

RE shared photo library: There is a big difference between having one person with their own library individually sharing photos to an album (which has an arbitrary limit on the number of photos, and are not the original photos) for other people to see and a library where multiple people with disparate Apple accounts can add photos from the camera app, import, edit, delete, tag, make projects and albums from any of their devices. That is what the shared library is bringing.
And that's a feature that has been present in Google photos for many years now. I think that's why Riley was surprised.
More talklinked, MORE TALKLINKED!! Make this a permanent podcast
The huge expense and lack of colours on the M2 has dampened my enthusiasm. Might look at getting a discount on an M1 now

WWDC: "What We Definitely Copied"
I still can't believe people that forked over a lot of money for a 20/20 iPad pro are now staring at a dated piece of equipment that didn't even get 2 years of proper feature support

yay Jonathan on a TechLinked vid
Really excited to see a video about going back to an Intel Mac after becoming accustomed to an M1. After owning a 16 inch M1 Max since October of last year, I don't think I could last an hour with an Intel laptop, especially the MacBook Air.
If Apple should start introducing the Rainbow colours to the Macbook - that would probably be the one thing that would get me back to windows. People don't buy everything in matching blank or space grey aluminium for Apple to pass of a shade of blue instead alternatively next round. Honest opinion, wasting resources and keeping spares around for 6+ different colours is just bonkers too. Silver and black, and if that's not enough you get a skin, sticker it, mod it and paint it or you get a windows RGB machine. The majority of phones today does not feature a 3.5mm Jack and hearing such complaints about colors is exactly what got us here. Make sense of your position Sir.
You'd go to Windows if Apple offered more colours? Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds?
The air remains Apple's best value laptop. I have one from 2020 and it performs brilliantly even now.
Ditto. As cool as these Airs look, as long as my machine chugs along well I'll be keeping mine for a long while.
'even now' only 2 years old bruh
@@bradhaines3142 that's how some Apple fans think bro
I would hope that a laptop lasts longer than 2 years. I was interested in buying the new MacBook air, but when they revealed the price to be £1249 for the base model, I was very disappointed! That's probably very affordable and budget for fancy Apple users, but that's a premium laptop price in Windows land! I mean, I could buy the Dell XPS 13 plus for that money. And if I spec it with a decent amount of storage, like 512 GB, it gets eye watering-ly expensive! I am glad I backed out of that idea as I can continue to be in Windows world. There are several great Windows laptops that are far cheaper and similar in overall form factor and features as the Apple (Lenovo's new Yoga 7 pro). I'll keep looking around. This ain't for me though.
the only issue I have with my M1 MBA is the Wifi. It's noticeably slower than my iPad Pro 2017 or my Android phone. Do you know if this is fixed with the M2 MBA?
Cool to see floating windows and screen resize on iPadOS similar to how it works on my Samsung Galaxy S21.
Is this a new format? Love it
Reily,
I'm using Dex on my S22 Ultra right now to watch this video!
It's one of my windows on my work from home screen. Love it! And usually have 2 to 3 windows on Dex along with all of the windows I use on my desktop.
I would say, Dex is pretty awesome for Samsung devices.
Dex is way better, I have been doing this since my s8+
But the amount of work Samsung allows their phones to do in dex mode is wild
some apps don't run in dex and also you can't customize control center icons while in dex. I can't put wireguard's icon in there! i even left dex, set it up, opened dex and it wasn't there!
but overall dex is amazing
Stage Manager looks interesting to me, but I'm concerned about using it on the iPad Air or 11-inch iPad Pro; my primary use for multitasking on an iPad is for writing, and even using split-screen with Pages or Word taking up the majority of the screen and another app like Notes only taking up the smallest portion of the screen can make the text in Pages too small for my preferences. With Stage Manager, it looks like the windows will be even smaller than in split-screen mode to account for the apps on the side and the dock, which I can imagine will only make that worse even if I resize the windows to be as big as they can. It looks like a super useful feature for the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro and for connecting the iPad to an external monitor, but for the smaller iPad Pro/iPad Air on its own, I have a feeling that I just won't find it very useful for my workflow at all, and I'll probably stick to using Pages full screen with Notes in slide-over.
Which is what I like about it as most iPad users are fine with the current multitasking system. I just wish we could have external display support without stage manager
my concern is more to my iPad Air 4 being less than 2 years and already missing features 😞
Keep making these longer talks!
More TalkLinked please!
I’m just glad the iPad is slowly starting to become more of a viable computer. It’s taking longer than I would like, but it’s getting there.
only if its M1, the rest arent getting much. like my new mini that im kind of regretting
It feels like the last intel macbooks apple put out, they intentionally crippled the cooling to make sure that they'd feel sluggish in comparison to their new apple silicon based ones.
They have the ability to configure down the power limit and TDP of the intel chips and didn't with next to no heatsink
I doubt that as I haven't seen a single passive cooling laptop (windows) for an intel x86 chip.
@@AllGuitarSucks I don't know what the exact model of MacBook it was, but Louis Rossman showed one that HAD a fan but there were no heatpipes leading to it.
Huh? There's many out there. Just off the top of my head the Surface Pro 7 with i5 CPU was all passively cooled.
@@jumpinjehosephat1877 it was the MacBook air
What feels? What are you talking about? So you’re saying that the last laptops they designed in like 2015-2018 were purposely crippled in case the 2020 transition they were doing succeeded? You do realize they didn’t even know if Apple Silicon would succeed when designing those laptops you speak of… it seems dumb to help sink the ship you’re jumping from… but yeah, let’s go with that.
Listening to Riley re-discover what a 2-in-1 is was fascinating.
Excellent stuff.
To me, stage manager just feels like a slightly more elegant Samsung Dex...I just hope samsung starts improving dex again, since it barely improved ever since I bought the Tab S7.....
😂😂
DeX is a cheap desktop emulator on a tablet and requires a mouse and keyboard to use properly
Stage manager is actually a windowing system for tablets 😬 designed for touch interface
It’s Way better and designed for touch interfaces.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Samsung had windowing capability (without dex) on their phone since before 2016 I believe. And its designed for a touch interface.
You can see it in action back in 2015 here : ruclips.net/video/wdB3LFI_Eg0/видео.html
Dex try to simulate the desktop experience, thats why its better with a mouse and keyboard.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Samsung has touch-centric multitasking/windowing withing their standard Android UI. DeX is specifically foe when you want to use it *as a computer*. You get both.
The safety feature you mention is only for children under the age of 13. Additionally apple does not have access to your child’s photos and instead designed it in a way where it utilizes machine learning locally on device.
Most people i think would say children shouldnt have a full featured phone. I had my first cellphone at 14 with no data. Calls and text only.
They added safety features for domestic violence victims too
I like the longer format videos.

“Adobe has to figure out…” or, hear me out, people could switch to Affinity Photo and let Photoshop die already. It’s a 32-year-old application, for crying out loud. And it’s almost guaranteed to have some 32-year-old code hiding under the hood, as well.

All I wanted was a friggin touchscreen on a macbook. ...my Lenovo not getting replaced any time soon I guess...
yeah. Apple like: here's another desktop feature for ipad... here's another one.... and another one... Meanwhile Microsoft: slaps a touchscreen onto the full windows, "she'll be right!". They also had that ipad-ish thing called WinRT, which nobody wanted.
@@victortitov1740 Windows RT was ahead of it's time (and pretty crap) Apple, as usual came 5-10 years later and made a better product. About the touchscreen.... i just refuse to buy 2 devices and all related accessories so i can basically have the functionality i need. Cheap windows machine can do this so no reason why apple cannot do it except scamming you out of buying both hardware and software twice (MacOS for base app and then for iOS for the iPad remote).
Thanks for talking about the iPad Pro features. I use it as my main computer and the stage manager feature was something that I’ve been looking for. Also it makes me feel less guilty about spending 1.5 lakh INR on a tablet. Well done Riley.

@@kylekersh I replaced my daily PC use with my Note 10 and DeX to my 34" ultrawide.

20:01 Great point. I came to this conclusion back when everyone was talking about iPad becoming a viable computer, it costs MORE than a Macbook Air in a decent configuration, while not delivering NEARLY as much as an Air could.
Absolutely, and the price to performance gets way way worse when compared against a Windows laptop
The difference between iPad and MacBook is not "quantity," as you say. It's quality. They're different things.
@@AnneALias I have no idea what you mean by that.
@@isaacwakefield5915 they do different things. One is touch based interface with note writing with optimized apps for specific tasks that is better than a hybrid like the surface.
The other is a laptop with its own strengths. Seems pretty easy to understand.

man all those cuts were hectic, i want to hear the uncut version
the ipad pro is marketed as laptop/ pc replacement but thing is it practically too expensive to be a proper replacement. It is great as a tablet but it is really bad as a pc for what it worth.
Price is a non issue. As the tech matures it'll drop in price. But the form factor can't compare performance wise to a properly ventilated system, so laptop and desktop will always have the upper hand when it comes to demanding applications.
@@gutterg0d "so laptop and desktop will always have the upper hand when it comes to demanding applications."
Which is why pricing is a issue. A lot of the things that the ipad pro can do; A similarly price laptop with a dedicated gpu probably can do far better. Then for the web browsing crowd: you got competitions with chromebooks that are far cheaper and just as dead simple to use. The problem with the ipad pro is that it fills a very tiny niche of artists and some professionals that don't need much for a computer otherwise you're better off with something else or a much cheaper ipad.
@@Shadowninja1200 I don't see that as a problem. It's a luxury product aimed at a certain category of people. I don't care about iPad pro the same way I don't care about tools for crocheting. I don't do crocheting, therefore anything I would use a crocheting tool for most likely has hundreds of better tools that's way more useful to me available. But I'm sure there are great crocheting tools for those who has a use for them, and I don't really care what they cost and it's still cool that they exist for the people who needs them. :)
6:00 I thought it was a feature of LPDDR5 where you could have memory chips in the size that is not a power of two, like 2x 12 GB, right? Otherwise it could create a memory imbalance or something (if that’s even an issue)
My favorite duo on LTT
I use my iPad hand held half the time, and for things like zoom at work, usually at the same time as I use my mac for other tasks.
I mean, it's not exactly new for Apple to "invent" "new innovative features" that are already standard on competitors devices!
(though tbf Microsoft, Google, Samsung, etc. etc. aren't much better in that regard)
These type of videos are amazing!
11:56 you can auto hide the stage manager thing and yes you can cover it
With the Studio Display having it's own chip - I wish there would be a way to wirelessly extend your iPad desktop to it (without the need for a cable) really seems like all the parts are there for that. And the functionality / software already exists within MacOS (wirelessly extending to an iPad as another monitor). One for the future?
the studio display has a much weaker chip compared to the ipad pro so that could be one reason i guess
Finally, those OSs get some interesting features.
I feel like we're almost back at the same level of innovation we had in 2006 before the iPhone came out and mobile devices manufacturers/OS devs actually tried to make them more useful from a productivity perspective.
I think we might be ready to even see a mobile version of Windows again.
I loved Windows Mobile, it had everything: a close button (still lacking on today's OSs - you never know if the app is closed or running in background and it makes RAM management nearly impossible for the end user), a proper task manager in case you wanted to drill down, I even had a registry editor, I could change the "today screen" which I can still change in Android (launcher)...
iOS has a little bit more to evolve to catch up to Windows Mobile 6.1, but it's getting there. Glad to see progress.
Ah Microsoft.. oldest player in the mobile OS space and never once a leader in it.
@@adfaklsdjf funniest thing is , apple all used windows mobile hand held terminals/scanners, for all their stores and depots etc etc, since windows mobile dominated basically all mobile logistics and mobile POS systems, of course now android dominates the HHT market
@@girlsdrinkfeck Yeah and where is Windows Phone now? Ballmer’s words have aged poorly. It was a good phone OS destroyed due to Google, Microsoft’s stupidity and incompetency.
Stage manager just cuts off 25% of your screen. You can’t freely resize apps. Can’t freely drag and position them. Can’t even close them without magical gestures. Apple just keeps dropping the ball on the iPadOS features. I’ve completely given app on using iPad as a proper MacBook replacement.
It would’ve been fine if Safari supported modern web features, so that we can use the iPad as a glorified chromebook. But no, and we don’t have a proper browser choice on iOS/iPadOS.
So it is still inferior to Samsung DeX or Motorola Ready For?
I thought to get an ipad mini 6 M1. But if it is still handicapped.
@Raoul Neves my bad, it's not exactly close to 25%, but as far as I'm aware you still can't position apps without having a left margin

The Macbook Air is Apple's Flagship platform for their new ethos of efficiency and performance. I like how cool their desktops run relative to their old methods of allowing 100 degree celcius temps
I never expected a 28 minutes TechLinked video
Efficiency definitely affects desktops and matters there as well. With the individual cores drawing less power than the competition they can throw in way more stuff more tightly packed together, Intel only has 8 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores whereas the M1 Ultra has 16 P-cores and 4 E-cores, with rumors suggesting it will jump to 16 P-cores and 8 E-cores with the M2 Ultra (don't underestimate the importance of E-cores in desktops, they're much more power and area efficient than increasing your P-core count to get more multithreaded performance (although developers will have more work assigned to them to optimize their apps to take advantage of a lot more E-cores, but that shift in the way progams work is already happening and when it does happen, increasing your E-core count to get more MT performance will def. be the best way). Also having E-cores means the P-cores will be more focused on the more performance instensive tasks while the OS assigns light and background tasks fully to the E-cores, that will very literally and directly make your computer faster and smoother.
I agree to a point your E cores are only going to help so much because you can only parallelize so much. Some tasks just have to be done in order and cannot be spread out. I think long term arm will be important for mobile and power efficient designs but I don't see x86 processors going away
Thats awesome, Apple invented Samsung DeX and page files. Time to rev up those lawyers Apple. You need to sue Samsung and Microsoft.
