Hey! We accidentally lobbed off some audio at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="908">15:08</a> and there's a bit of a nonsensical transition. Here's the missing audio! "The first ARM Mac is a Mac mini but it’s not one you (or I, for that matter) will actually be able to buy; it’s a developer transition kit and not at all dissimilar from something like a next-gen console dev kit. Apple shipped a Mac Pro with a PC motherboard inside to developers when they announced the switch to Intel."
I applaud this video. Of all the "hands-on" videos, this is the most comprehensive and thought out. You were not rushing to be the first and this shows. This was by far the most informative video regarding WWDC releases! Great job!
All of his videos are like that. I always learned something new from his video even though I have watched dozens of other reviewers with the same subject
I think the Ios 14 on Iphone 12 is terribly unstable still, feels like Ive had the same phone since the Iphone 5C. The customizability really needs to change. The ipad feels like a downgraded macbook, the iphone feels like a downgraded ipad. I say that because before on the 8plus I could lock my phone in sideways. Now I cant do that on a phone with a bigger screen? Stupid. Widgets are dumb with how they did it. I also hate sms text don’t work that well still 13 years later.
@@jamesrwarzyniak3190ive literally had nobody complain about these things ever lol 😂 if you think ios is unstable try using Samsung for a day, you will come back crying (ex Samsung user)
@@PanosPitsi I could never. I posted this 8 months ago, and ios has had so many updates for bugs and glitches. But look at ios 15 🤷🏼 ipad os 15 hardware inside not being utilized. Support for A8 chip devices is great, but its holding back the power in newer models to make older devices supported.
@@jamesrwarzyniak3190 ios is by far the most stable mobile os out there, I am using ios 15 beta right now and it's pretty stable. The text recognition feels like magic, my only complaint is that the settings up is buggy. Oh also, apple needs to clarify how they will implement the scum detection in a way that it won't defy normal peoples privacy
Either they will make the macs cheaper or add additonal features/raise the specs in order to maintain the price. I highly doubt they will go more expenisve because apple is moving more toward making money from services than devices. Case and point: the macbooks, ipads, mac mini and the iphone all had reduced price points or kept the same and got higher ram and storage.
Whether they lower prices or keep it the same, the average consumer would get a better value product in an ARM Mac. Big emphasis on the average consumer, because there will be some pro apps on Mac that won't run well on ARM.
@@mdjey2 I agree with you, but that's pretty much every language. Just ask somebody from latin america and see if they enjoy the way Mexicans and Puerto Ricans talk.
@@m4dv0y I liked "half baked Linux distro". My first thought was literally "Manjaro on my Raspberry Pi looks better than this." Here's hoping I don't have to stay on Mojave for a third year...
It’s kind of a weird criticism, it seems apple’s goal is to make their platform feel unified and seamless, so saying they copying themselves for making the Mac look more like iOS or iPadOS is a misunderstanding of their philosophy
Jean, but in french, I get u. And I think what Apple did this WWDC is great. But these tiny inconsistencies between their own app icons are just so not-Apple-but-rather-China-knock-offs. It looks and feels weird and unfinished.
Snazzy Labs Yosemite was definitely the redesign dude, Mavericks looked pretty much identical to the previous version. Yosemite brought the blurred design elements from iOS 7 and the overall flatter UI
Snazzy Labs Yeah man it most definitely was not Mavericks. I just restored my Macbook Pro to Mavericks yesterday and it was a whole different world. Compare to mountain lion to see it’s almost the same to that. Unless by big, you’re referring to the fact that they brought more iOS compatible apps to the Mac and moved away from cat names.
I suppose that’s more starkly different, yes. I just feel like Mavericks was big because even though many of the icons and the dock stayed the same, Apple stripped what little Aqua had been left over and pulled out every skeuomorphic app design (save for Game Center) we had in Mountain Lion. Finder got redesigned, and more. You’re correct though in stating that the flatness of Yosemite was an outstanding trait. 512pixels.net/projects/aqua-screenshot-library/os-x-10-9-mavericks/
FINALLY! Someone who agrees with me on the fact that Big Sur design is really weird and didn’t match anything. Everyone I know thinks that it is cool, but it looks like a cheap rip off of ios to me.
Almost everyone agrees with you lol , apart from me I like it lol , I don’t know why because I comepletelt understand the criticism it makes sense but I just like it for some reason
Catalina has been a disaster for me. I was hoping the .1 update would fix the most glaring problems, but nope. And none of the new features have been useful to me either. I’d downgrade back to Mojave if it weren’t such a gigantic pain.
fluffy what was wrong with Catalina? I was on Mojave’s all this while and made the leap now. Just curious on knowing what I missed or might stumble upon.
@@Arnoldshivajinagarr It's been incredibly unstable for me (apps randomly crashing A LOT), and AirPlay stopped working entirely; any time I try turning AirPlay on my networking stops working for like 10 minutes. Plus the new Finder-integrated iOS sync works even worse than iTunes did before, not that I use that anymore anyway since Apple pretty much strongarmed me into iTunes Match with how bad music library management has gotten.
Every time there is a visual change: We hate it! After a few months: We love it! After a year: We want a visual change. After a visual change: We hate it....
I still don't like the flat design that everyone is/has moved to. I think it removes visual queues and makes things harder to recognize and navigate. This macOS 11 look seems extra horrible in that regard. Different shapes for icons are actually nice to help recognize them. One of the things I think OSX did well.
Sasongko Productions the design looks super dated, it’s like we went from iOS 9 -> 6 and below. And this is Mac OS. If you can’t see the difference you must have completely ignored the video
That App Library thingie wasn’t a bug, It basically makes the most recent app as bigger and makes others smaller Edit : Depends on the notifications too
I can't believe he hasn't even tried to touch those bigger icons lol. Those means you can simply just tap a recent App from an App Library right away, without going into the App Library itself first
Yeah, but on r/Mac, say that and you get downvoted into oblivion. The people there are sheep who believe that Apple knows best for them. They have to learn how to disagree with the corporations sometimes.
My theory about the icons is that they're in the process of remaking all of them and that some of the more "flat" ones are simply reused from iOS while they finish the rest
Man, that final section about apples transition away from intel was sort of sad to hear. It's almost like saying goodbye to an old friend, when you see things like bootcamp and hackintoshes are going to fade away :')
Apparently virtualization will be really good, and hackinstoshes will probably still somehow work since they got em working on AMD processors. But yeah likelihood has gone down for sure
@@uchihasasuke7436 The only reason you could get it working on AMD is because both Intel and AMD CPU's are x86. That's literally it. However, ARM, uses a completely different architecture. Once Apple moves every device to ARM, that's it for Intel support.
@@Synthentic yeah but I'm sure something like rosetta could be developed to efficiently translate ARM OS to x86. Or maybe everyone will move to arm eventually lol
@@RA-hi5ln A custom-kernel, maybe. But definitely not a virtual machine, even with PCIE-passthrough. If Apple decide to completely remove all references of Intel in their kernel, or completely remove x86 compatibility like they with with 32-bit support, then you're fecked.
i think im gonna switch.. while some may say "oh copying android".. everyone copies everyone.. and this is the small few things that is gonna make me switch come september
Yeah I am going to get an iPhone probably. These are some of the features I've been waiting for. Android has horrible software upgrade support. Like the non transparency as to whether my S8 will get android 10. Samsung says no in their chart, but then their support said yes.
Copying Android isn't a problem. Copying them and claiming it as an entirely new innovation is a problem. If it's "We've polished and perfected this feature that's been around but never quite done right, and now we're bringing it to you on iOS!", that's fine.
@@Kvantum No one, including Apple said it was an innovation lol. No synonyms were even used. And no, they didn't phrase anything like that. It's clear you either didn't watch the keynote or your hatred is blinding your hyperbole meter lol.
@@Kvantum Actually, Apple never said or claimed this features to be new or innovative in the industry. True, is new in iPhones, and that's what they say.
I find it hilarious how few big RU-vidrs aren't devs. This is such a big deal and Snazzy is one of the few to bring up some future implications. I was born in 99 and cannot remember a non-x86 desktop/laptop (maybe power pc?) Shipped by a huge manufacturer. ARM is bringing competition to compute like there hasn't been in 30 years
Yeah... I am worried about Apple listening too much the braindead trendy teenagers (metaphorically speaking) who thinks the way to make something cool is to make it look like a touch interface. I hate how that has developed on both Linux and Windows. I have been very happy that Apple has resisted this trend on their Desktop OS. There is a reason a touch interface looks different! It has different capabilities, advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately the trendy hipsters designing stuff today don't give a shit. They just want whatever is the new "in" look whether it works or not.
I can confirm that while app icons are here to stay(untill Apple makes some huge changes), the other icons like battery and notification are just placeholders for developer beta and will be changed in public release.
I really love the new icons. I’m so glad they brought a touch of 3D skeuomorphic design. I love how the Safari and Settings icons look. I really hope it comes to iOS
I love Apple's descriptions: "Look at the new elegant dock. It looks great"... All they did was round the outside corners of the dock. Still no native window management. They should buy BetterTouchTool and implement it.
"Today marks the big day for MacOS, behold, 'Project Sand Paper'. Now, you can see our developers and designers working their elbows to take every sharp corner away, literally."
+1 for better touch tool. And I’d throw in Clipmenu as well, an alternative for Linux users that miss middle button copy/paste. Not the same, but in some ways better. Bind it to a hotkey and you have clipboard history at your fingertips.
I actually love that they finally have unified the design from iOS and MacOS. It’s a very small thing but I’ve always hated how different they looked across the different OS’s
@@hazelv998 It's definitely controversial, but I'm not sure if it's more controversial than the switch from skeuo to flat, not that it's the same kind of transition at all, but a transition nonetheless.
Quinn, you're one of my favorite Tech-focused RU-vidrs. I just wanted to express my thanks. Along with Marques, LTT, and organizations like Engadget and AC, I credit you with keeping me tech-savvy. It's greatly appreciated. Stay snazzy, brother.
prediction: it looks like a touchscreen interface because it IS a touchscreen interface. when they release an ARM macbook it's gonna have a touchscreen. welcome to post-jony ive apple
MellFromRU-vid yes but it also has file management that is crap, and if you want to access any files out side of multimedia, you have to jump through so many hoops. Honestly all they are doing is placating to the lowest common denominator and not taking in to consideration that many professionals that consider apple a industry standard are now getting shafted so kids, grandparents and home makers can share pictures of their pets easier 💩
I remember Apple fans calling the App Drawer on Android useless and they love having their screens cluttered with app icons. Now that Apple introduced it, all of a sudden the same people are clamoring to say that this feature is amazing.
Mathieu I remember android users always bringing up security and privacy vs Apple based systems until Apple stood up to the government over data privacy. Couple that with google selling everyone’s info to even the lowest bidder as well
Noggles10, no one ever said that. Besides, it’s illegal for google to sell anything ptivate, and you can disable app tracking to send you personalized ads in settings. So why don’t you shut up iSheep
For the first time ever, Mac OS isn’t visually appealing to me. Considering I absolutely love the OS, I think Big Sur looks horrible, and as Quinn put it, also looks like a half-baked Linux distro... because it does. The menu bar looks like it got ripped straight out of elementaryOS.
@@raghavkaushal7561 Having taken Elementary for a spin, I can agree with you on that one. I use Mojave daily, and it seems to be the last perfect release of Mac OS. Catalina was buggy and, well... need we say anything else about Big Sur?
Of course. Rosetta 2. Also known as "RINE"; a recursive acronym for "Rine Is Not an Emulator". :-) Can't wait to see the performance delta between Apple ARM laptops and AMD 4000-series laptops. But, at least they'll provide ALL-DAY battery-life... wherever one travels (in one's home). Buy one during business hours (AirPlay compatible)... or GRAB ONE during looting hours (AirGap compatible). :-)
I don't care about battery life on my desktop. My desktop is about best performance for the price. It's why I still run a Mac Pro 2010 with heavy upgrades.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1128">18:48</a> you will not be able to virtualise x86 platforms on an arm Mac. The demos used an arm version of Linux - not an x86 version
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="159">2:39</a> I don’t think it’s a bug, in my experience the 3 quick access apps are based off of Siri suggestions of what it thinks you will need most. However it would be nice to change this I agree
In relation to the Hackintosh, my opinion is that you're wrong. The only change is that MacOS arm will bemore easely portable to arm platforms that allready are running android. The arm architecture can allready be virtualized on x86 CPU's so I do see a bright future to Hackintosh!
I love the almost blurred, mostly opaque UI backgrounds. It harks back to the only thing I loved about Windows Vista, or should I say Windows 7. In this iteration, the lack of contrast completely baffles me, especially in the smaller bar menus and notifications. Sure, there’s probably accessibility settings to customise, but the latest UX and web principals have pushed text-to-background contrast checks for a reason. Bahh
snazzy, i hope you'll be getting into the bootloader security features and the possibility of running unsigned (by apple) code on the new 'arm' (apple silicon) macs. literally i sighed a sigh of relief when i saw the video from apple explaining that you will be able to disable most of the lockdown with csrutil - but we're not fully out of the woods yet.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="696">11:36</a> when Apple broadcasted their Keynote, I had THE EXACT SAME thought! The "new" design on macOS looks DISGUSTING! Either bring back *true* skeumorphism or leave it at the flat design. Apple isn't what it used to be just nine to ten years ago.
Just a thought here, but in all the footage I’ve seen of Big Sur, it seems Apple is finally making macOS touch friendly, which leads one to wonder...is that because they plan to unveil a touchscreen Mac, or because Apple intends to allow Big Sur to be installed as opposed to iPadOS on the iPad Pro in the future?
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="696">11:36</a> I feel offended since I'm 15 and I would NEVER design things like that because I agree I don't like them
As someone who lives less than an hour from Big Sur in California - Sur is pronounced the same as "sir". As a developer, my company has secured an ARM Mac Mini for me to port my company's code. As a Windows guy I'm not looking forward to it. Ironicly, there are tons of Mac lovers who would kill to get their hands on what I'm begrudgingly being giving.
Apple seems to be waiting for features that Android has had for years. I think this is because it does not look like stealing if the community does not really remember it being a new feature on Android.
Well here is how usually go: if apple make a similar app/feature from android or other platforms= they only copied "X" company. if they make app/feature of their own= boo! boring stuff not one care about it "X" company is better. if they do nothing=WoW so boring so old they are really bad, etc. In short doesn't matter what they do people would hate, so why should the community care if X phone have it first. The important thing is that before we didn't and now we do, what else do you guys want and why if i want to spent my money with xiaomi,samsung or apple should i care about your opinion? Nevertheless buy what you like and let other be happy, even if there is a better option is there money, their decision.
Would love to see a comparison between Big Sur and current design--like side by side images. I've not had a Mac in years so can't really compare from experience. good vid as always.
