Apple Just Made Selecting an iPad Really Hard
Apple seems to enjoy doing this to us. That is, making the process of selecting an iPad really hard. A lower level product leapfrogs a pro product in some technical respects. Deciding which to buy then involves a very careful analysis and comparison of the specs. And user needs. Selecting an iPad The Particle Debris article of the week come from Ed Hardy at Cult of Mac. Deciding between iPad Air 4 and iPad Pro could be a real struggle At first glance, it’s not easy to tell the difference between the 2020 iPad Air [4] and the Pro models. They all sport edge-to-edge screens, without the Home button. And confusing the new iPad Air 4 with the 11-inch iPad Pro is going to be very easy, as they have nearly identical chassis, and can even use many of the same cases. So, selecting an iPad is really hard. Author Hardy digs deep to reveal the fundamental differences. When you're done reading, you'll have a much better idea about which is right for you. Hint: pay attention to the respective camera systems. Nice work. The Week’s Apple News Debris • There are many articles out there that claim to provide an overview of iOS 14. This is one of the best. "iOS 14 hands-on: The biggest iPhone update in years." Readable. Positive. Comprehensive. • Apple's tvOS 14 didn't get its own press release. It would have been short. So, mactrast has cobbled together what we need to know. "Apple Releases tvOS 14 for Fourth and Fifth-Generation Apple TVs." Most notably: tvOS 14‌ brings a systemwide Picture in Picture mode, allowing users to watch movies or TV shows, in a small window in the corner of the screen while they do something else on the ‌Apple TV‌. Like, maybe, Fitness+? • They did it. "Nvidia confirms acquisition of Arm Holdings from SoftBank for $40 billion." 9to5Mac quotes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said he loves Arm’s business model and wants to expand its broad client list. As for concerns the deal will upset Arm’s relationships with customers including Apple Inc., Huang said Nvidia is spending a lot of money for the acquisition and has no incentive to do anything that would cause clients to walk away. • After a 2017 announcement, Apple cancelled its wireless charger project "AirPower" in March, 2019 "citing difficulty meeting its own standards." Lately, however, there are persistent rumors of a comeback. Here's the latest. "Video claims to show Apple magnetic wireless charger prototype." If Apple is ever going to ship a portless iPhone, it has to perfect this technology. • Finally, we have some leaked benchmarks comparing iPhone 12 to iPhone 11. "iPhone 12 benchmarks just leaked — here's how they compare to iPhone 11." Watch for the caveats. In its report on the Antutu results, GSMArena speculates that Apple could prioritize battery draw over performance with the A14, which could explain the modest increases in CPU and GPU results. It's also possible that this is a pre-production model that has yet to be optimized for final release. And, of course, the CPU/GPU speeds are just a small part of the iPhone 12 story. Still, interesting reading. Particle Debris is generally a mix of John Martellaro’s observations and opinions about a standout event or article(s) of the week followed by a discussion of articles that didn’t make the TMO headlines, the technical news debris. The column is published most every Friday.

The Trait Steve Jobs Believed Indicated High Intelligence
Steve Jobs provided all sorts of insights into people and leadership during his lifetime. Inc shared the trait he believed revealed high intelligence. "A lot of [what it means to be smart] is the ability to zoom out, like you're in a city and you could look at the whole thing from the 80th floor down at the city. And while other people are trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B reading these stupid little maps, you could just see it in front of you. You can see the whole thing," Jobs says in the talk.  That's a fascinating conception of smarts, but it raises an inevitable question: How do you develop the ability to get a bird's eye view of a situation in this way? The answer, Jobs goes on to say, is to be an intellectual omnivore, exploring the world in unique and unexpected ways.  "You have to not have the same bag of experiences as everyone else does, or else you're gonna make the same connections and you won't be innovative. [...] You might want to think about going to Paris and being a poet for a few years. Or you might want to go to a third-world country--I'd highly advise that. Falling in love with two people at once.

EU May Force Apple to Give Rivals Access to Apple Pay Tech
Apple may have to open up its Apple Pay technology rival providers. That's according to a EU document due to be published next week, seen by Bloomberg News. The report is set to be unveiled next week by the European Commission as part of a package of policy proposals. It includes a footnote to a competition case launched by the European Commission’s antitrust arm in June, which is seeking to assess whether the iPhone giant unfairly blocks other providers from using the tap-and-go functionality on its smartphones. “In parallel with its ongoing and future competition enforcement, the Commission will examine whether it is appropriate to propose legislation aimed at securing a right of access under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions, to technical infrastructures considered necessary to support the provision of payment services,” the EU says in the document.

LG’s webOS OLED TV: The Best Accessory for Your Apple TV+ ...
I never thought I wanted another "Smart TV" again. I've bought a few of them over the years, only to be utterly disappointed by the lack of any functionality even remotely resembling anything "smart", software updates languishing, features not working after a year, and generally just utter disappointment. On top of that, the user interfaces I had experienced with Smart TVs were... anything but. This summer, though, I had to suffer through getting a Smart TV in order to test the Dolby Atmos functionality of the new Sonos Arc soundbar. Turns out the only HDMI switch box I could get that would pass Atmos signals is baked inside of a Smart TV, so I asked myself, "who makes the best OLED TV?" and quickly found myself selecting something from LG. Sure enough, when the 65" LG OLED65CXPUA arrived, it functioned spectacularly as the necessary HDMI switch box and I was finally able to experience Atmos sound as Sonos intended. It was glorious. What happened next was the biggest surprise, though. This LG TV is actually smart. webOS turns out to be a very mature, up-to-date, cared-for platform that truly stands on its own. On top of that, the TV's support for AirPlay 2 is the most reliable video AirPlay implementation I've experienced yet, and that includes working with various models of Apple TV. Oh, and the TV has its own, built-in Atmos support, too, which was another pleasant surprise, especially if you don't have a Sonos Arc to test. webOS LG's webOS app store is robust, and includes apps for all the services you'd expect: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and countless others. Among those countless others were some lovely surprises: Apple TV+, Plex, Xfinity Stream, and, once it was released, NBC's Peacock. Almost without realizing it, we stopped using the TV as a switch box, not because there were any problems with that, but because we didn't need to feed much of anything into the TV other than an Ethernet (or Wi-Fi) signal. From there we could basically watch anything we wanted, all in glorious 4K (where available) and, of course, with the aforementioned Dolby Atmos sound. Sure, we occasionally fire up the TiVo to watch something it has recorded, but we just as frequently let our (mandatory-to-have-with-our-plan) Xfinity X1 box record something and just watch that via the webOS Xfinity Stream app directly via the TV. Live TV is also supported that way. The only time I turn on my Apple TV now is when I want to use an app on there that's not available on my TV itself: the WWDC app for videos, Testflight to test something for a developer, the "Apple Events" app to watch special events (though YouTube has those, too, now), and the occasional Apple Arcade game on Apple TV. For most of our viewing, though, the TV quickly became our preferred streaming device, which made things super-simple. Smart TV for the win! At least when that Smart TV is from LG. What about Samsung? Because of the pandemic, we didn't do any "normal" vacation travel to cities or other places-of-interest. We did, however, want to get away with the four of us, which simply meant renting an AirBnB in some (other) remote corner of New England and enjoying some lockdown time together "over there". The scenery was different. We had a lake outside our back door. But TV was still important for those evening wind-down activities... like binging a show together or watching a movie. The AirBnBs we wound up in both had new Samsung TVs. "Perfect," I thought, "I get to test and compare." Samsung's Smart TVs also have the Apple TV+ app in their stores, but they don't have Peacock. They also don't have anything close to the simplicity of the user experience of LG's webOS. Managing apps on those came with a much more difficult learning curve for us, and this was all just a few weeks after we adapted to the webOS on the LG TV. It was all still fresh in our minds. You can make 'em both work, but the Apple-esque simplicity of LG's webOS beats Samsung's offering for us every day of the week. AirPlay and HomeKit Speaking of Apple-esque, the LG Smart TV supports both AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. We've always had hit-or-miss experience streaming from our iPhones to our Apple TVs. Streaming to the LG TV is frictionless, and we find ourselves using AirPlay for those quick little, "hey, let me show you something" moments when we're all in the living room. As listeners of Mac Geek Gab know, I've recently dug back into using HomeKit proper (HOOBS is great for those devices which don't natively support HomeKit!), and having the LG TV as a first-class citizen on my HomeKit network is stellar. Volume, power, input source, and more can be controlled and automated along with everything else. It's always delightful to find a non-Apple device which integrates with my Apple "network" like a native. LG's webOS makes their TVs do just this. Let's not forget that OLED Screen Some would accuse me of burying the lede, but hopefully you understand that my path into this world here meant I had different priorities. Of course, I chose LG because of all the great things I knew to be academically (and anecdotally) true about their OLED panels. Experiencing one in its 65" glory at home, though, is another matter entirely. We came from a decade-plus of Panasonic Plasma displays (LED's viewing angle just doesn't work for our living room), and were quite spoiled in that world. The first week or two with the LG OLED screen was almost distracting because of the increased realism. Yes, there's a quality difference, of course, but the effect is that everything just looks that much more real. It's almost as if the perceived depth looks more three dimensional because of the enhanced clarity and contrast of the OLED screen. To this day, months later, I'm still often amazed when I turn this thing on and see the image again. You definitely won't go wrong selecting an LG OLED panel for your next TV, that's for sure. Realistic Affordability Our family goal was to coast through on the last of the Panasonic Plasmas until OLED came down into our price range. At $2,300 for the 65-inch version (or $4,000 for the 77-inch version), these prices are realistic and affordable if this is what you're looking for. And I highly recommend you take a look!

iOS 14 Introduces Awesome New ‘Back Tap’ Accessibility F...
There is often lots to be learned by exploring your iPhone's accessibility features. iOS 14 includes one called 'Back Tap', which gives the user the option to essentially use the back of their device as a touchscreen. Using the Back Tap Feature in iOS 14 To use the feature go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap. Choose 'Double Tap' or 'Triple Tap' and you are greeted with a host of potential actions. I like 'App Switcher' or 'Screenshot,' ones - it means I can see all the apps I have open or take a screenshot by tapping twice or three times on the back of my phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMFjc2TkZqw The options are though basically endless if you incorporate Shortcut.

Exclusive: Bill Lawrence on the Success of ‘Ted Lasso’ o...
The season finale of Ted Lasso is now available to watch on Apple TV+. The show stars Jason Sudeikis playing a character originally conceived back in 2013 as part of an advertising campaign for soccer on NBC -  a college football coach who crosses the Atlantic to manage a Premier League soccer team. Ted Lawrence: Standing Out 'Amongst Dark Edgy Dramas and Snarky Comedies' I'll be honest, when I heard there was going to be a full series I was dubious it would work. However, it has been an unexpected breakout success for Apple TV+. The times we live in certainly require some of the kindness and humor displayed in the show. "We said to [Apple] when we pitched it that it was kind of a cynical, edgy time and that the main character would be inherently optimistic and hopeful," executive producer Bill Lawrence told The Mac Observer. "We hoped that even amongst dark edgy dramas and snarky comedies that would stand out." It most certainly does stand out. Yes, some of the soccer references do clang to British ears, but it just about stays the right side of the line. There are also standout female characters. Newly divorced club owner Rebecca develops from being a cliché at the start of the series, a trope Mr. Lawrence says the writers deliberately exploited in order to shift the narrative, to a character many can empathize with. Similarly, Keeley breaks away from being simply a "footballer's girlfriend" and we see that she is smart and business-minded. Mr. Lawrence attributes the development of these characters in large part to talented female writers working on the show. More Than Just Escapism To claim that providing escapism from the real-wold is the only reason Ted Lasso has proved popular would be unfair. It is a subtly written, well-acted, comedy. You feel a lot better after spending 30-odd minutes in the company of the coach and his squad. It's the TV equivalent of having a nice warm bath at the end of a tiring day. Far from disclosing tales of Apple interfering in the process, (despite your correspondents deeply unsubtle attempts to get him to do so...) the former Scrubs writer appears to have enjoyed collaborating with the tech giant. Mr. Lawrence said that whenever a writer is working with a producer, they need to "discover their eccentricities". With Apple, he said it was the company's commitment to secrecy he had to get used to. However, Apple "really embraced our show from the start," he explains. "They were in on the fact from the beginning that it wasn't going to be a silly, kind of sketch-like comedy." While Mr. Lawrence says he loves shows like that, Ted Lasso was always meant to offer a bit more depth, a mission it has undoubtedly succeeded in. Second, and Maybe Third, Season on Way The good news? Not only is a second season on the way, but Mr. Lawrence revealed that the original pitch was for a three-season arc. The third has not been officially confirmed for Apple TV+, but all the signs are pointing in the right direction. Because while Ted Lasso might offer some light-hearted humor in troubling times, it is also a welcome break from the often highly serious shows that dominate Apple TV+. "I think any new streaming site has to start with what they consider brand strategy, and Jason and I were certainly aware Apple seemed to be leaning into dramatic hours," said Mr. Lawrence. Indeed, while he is clearly uncomfortable saying so out loud, Mr. Lawrence admits that "we lucked out that the world is such a dumpster fire right now that people could use a healthy dose of optimism." Bill Lawrence, Jason Sudeikis, and their show do exactly that.

Apple’s Implementation Of COVID-19 Exposure Notifications...
NEWS: 09.18.20 – The latest effort by Apple to embed exposure notifications for COVID-19 contact tracing right into its mobile operating system has some iPhone users weary of being exposed to something other than the coronavirus: Big Brother. With reports rampant around the Twitter-verse that some Apple smartphone owners are refusing to update the iOS software on their devices due to concerns over privacy and fears of being tracked by the government, in 2020, amid a global pandemic and the battle to mitigate its spread, the 1949 book 1984 has immediately come to most iPhone users’ minds. Written by English author George Orwell — used as the basis for Apple’s iconic ad for the Macintosh which aired during Super Bowl XVIII and famously said in the television commercial, “…why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984’” — the dystopian novel, according to a Wikipedia entry on the book, centers thematically on the consequences of, among the three themes outline, totalitarianism and mass surveillance. Some iPhone users have been reportedly reluctant to update to iOS 13.7 for fear of the new exposure notifications now built-in to Apple’s mobile operating system designed to help government agencies and public health officials with COVID-19 contact tracing. (Photo: Joe Leo) The software update that ignited the controversy — iOS 13.7 which was released earlier this month on the first of September — was designed to make COVID-19 contact tracing easier for public health officials to implement, however, according to the website Cult of Mac, some people have claimed its true purpose is more sinister: instead, they see it as just another way for Apple to keep tabs on its users and for the government to track its citizens. In its report, Cult of Mac cited a handful of tweets posted to Twitter from iPhone users who shared their aversion to the new COVID-19 contact tracing feature and were quoted by multiple media outlets from around the web. One person said that it was another step → Read More...
