iOS 7 was a depressing stark white field with sickeningly thin fonts and pointless blur effect. it was really bad. they've been walking back the design to something not awful for a while now. dumping helvetica neue light and transitioning to San Francisco was a big step. iOS 10 looked great. in 11 it looks like they overdid it a bit, particularly with the silly huge labels.

the Touch ID on it is great. the huge touch pad is also great. the touchbar is mostly useless for my purposes and slightly annoying. the keyboard is bad and way too loud. the lack of usb A ports is dumb. 3/5 would not buy again.

[quote="“bump_fn”" post="“476979268”"] has apple ever given a reason their phones use lightning cable ports instead of usb-c [/quote] because lightning was created before usb-c? because lightning is stiff enough to mount the entire phone in whereas usb C is not designed for that? because lightning is thinner?

Lysidas posted:isnt usb-c "apple's gift to the PC industry" in that the signaling protocol (e.g. dynamic selection of which pins are for power and which are for data) is very heavily inspired by lightning? heavily influenced is one way of saying it. Apple wanted one connector that unified display port, thunderbolt, USB3, and power. a connector that was reversible, symmetric on both ends, thin, and could be used for everything meanwhile intel and the USBIF were wanking over how to add USB3 support to the awful existing USB connector types. they came up with stupid poo poo like this:   do you think these morons suddenly grew a brain and figured out how to make a connector that doesn't suck? or did someone hand them a spec and wrote the cable firmware for them and told them "here, make this a standard so that everyone adopts it"?

Sagebrush posted:out of curiosity, can you just plug two computers together with usb-C and have them share files? like, all my shared folders just pop up on the other person's computer like plugging in a USB drive? apple implements target disk mode over usb and thunderbolt. so one of the machines can act as a dumb disk but it has to be in EFI. the problem with "sharing" files is that it basically requires a network file system to maintain coherence. so it's possible in theory if you could route nfs of smb over the link but in reality it takes a lot of driver work to make it happen for literally something you can already do over Ethernet.

Jimmy Carter posted:IP over Thunderbolt is an extremely good way to shuffle files from one computer to another, and is somehow faster than target disk mode on the exact same computers. the target disk mode device is in EFI and serving a block device. it's very dumb. IP over thunderbolt is talking to the kernel with a mounted file system and file caches and multitasking and dma.

[quote="“Lutha Mahtin”" post="“477030213”"] i’m a little surprised that you actually worked at apple and somehow still believe they would ship iThings with open-standard connectors if given the chance. aside from a couple of ipod shuffles they’ve never done this, and this history (along with the other reasons i mentioned in previous post) makes me think that hmmmmmmm perhaps this is intentional like i know apple loves to evangelize about “open” standards when it suits them but c’mon [/quote] I suppose you would be surprised to learn that we weren't just hunched around a dimly lit table, our fingertips pressed together, laughing at how we're going to screw the customers out of more money with dongles while singing the stonecutters song.

the touch bar is a secure display that can show you things the OS can't fake or access, which is required to make sure your Touch ID purchases aren't being spoofed by malware.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:standard PCs just use TPM for this but I guess an off the shelf $0.50 part that doesn't suck battery or require a screen would have been too simple for you brave genius types in cupertino lol no. TPM doesn't work if you allow users to install third party apps that aren't secure. you know, like Microsoft word or flash player or other things people install on desktop machines. or drivers for their hardware. and it requires the os and apps to be resistant to local and remote exploits. but if you trust windows / macos / linux to hold your biometric data and also not to show you it's charging you $1 for a song when in reality your biometric approval is being used to authorize $1000 from Russia, go right ahead.
