I want to see the speed in later betas. Some of the animations seem faster even now.

New volume HUD is better than I imagined. I really like the idea of having it slide out from the edge of the screen where the volume rocker is physically located.

Pretty sleek IMO.
Yeah. It's still new and odd looking and it needs tweaking, but it did help a ton when I realized it physically lines up.

That's shitty. Hopefully the Spotify suit will kind of force Apple's hand in opening up some of their "magic tricks" to other developers as a part of the API. It really sucks that they give themselves preferential treatment on features over everyone else.

Private API's are private either for battery, safety, or privacy concerns, or because these are low level "hacks" ( like dropbox file system integration from a few releases ago showed) that need work to be public facing stuff that they didn't get around to. I don't know why people keep attributing malice where plain lack of time, or other priorities suffices as an explanation. Look at the watch; devs could do jack shit on WatchOS but that has been opening up with every release.

When running a shortcut through Siri or even the Shortcuts widget does it still open the Shortcuts app first or does it run in the background while it performs the tasks? That is my biggest complaint with Shortcuts.

I genuinely hope that this means they'll offer an IDE for Swift on iPad. I've wanted to learn the language for a long time, but I really don't want to sit in front of my Mac to learn it. This is something I want to learn for fun, and my desk computer is strictly for work, lol.

I would like if they let Microsoft, jetbrains, Eclipse, etc work on and develop full on IDE's for the platform. I want to use a native VSCode with extensions on the iPad pro. That is a very attractive offer to me.

Honestly maybe that is their plan. If Apple released the next iPad Pro with a sturdier construction, a pre butterfly switch MBP style keyboard dock thing, and allowed for true IDE development they would get a large amount of software teams on board.

Full-featured VSCode on iPad would be a dream come true. I could not pass it up.

I did hear they were trying to release a full version of Photoshop. Not the same thing, but did that ever come out? Could show that Apple is dedicated to get full products working on the platform.

It's still on the way, but it's not out yet. Still in the pre-release phase (beta, more or less).

I wish they would give other apps native access to save in the photo library instead of having to export pictures from there to edit them in better apps.

I hope a full version of Premiere was coming to iPad too now that we have external storage.

I think that's pretty unlikely at this point, but it would be nice. Adobe is going all in on Rush for mobile devices. I think it might just be too heavy (overhead) for the iPad to really edit any footage in any meaningful way. If you've got a Mac, SideCar means you won't really have to worry too much about getting specific versions of your desired software on iPad.

I forgot about SideCar, that will be nice, maybe for keeping the video playback on the iPad. Although I'm wondering if the iPad Pro would be a more powerful editing machine than my 2015 i7 MacBook Pro.
