@reneritchie The phrase was always ironic about the trust part, is what I am getting at. And given the Marzipan evidence so far, well, we need more verification. Maybe like UN inspectors checking in on progress. — PolitiTweet.org

One notable thing Apple told me: it won't try to force all Catalyst sales through the Mac App Store. If you convert your iOS app to the Mac, you can sell it however you want without paying Apple a 30% commission. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 — PolitiTweet.org

Apple: we will never put a touchscreen on a Mac Also Apple: everybody take your touch optimized apps and put them on the Mac which will never have a touchscreen don't worry about the details it'll be fine look the Mac Pro has wheels now wheeeee! — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Like really though: Apple cited two companies saying hooray we can just have our iOS devs make Mac apps now! In the keynote! If I were a Mac developer working at a medium or large company, I would learn me some iOS developer skills lickety split. 😬 — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

THIS is why I wanted Apple to go all in on Catalyst: to avoid this exact fear from people who love Macs. Maybe it's all fine. I need to see more apps before I really worry. But just 5 more minutes in the keynote demoing Apple Catalyst apps could have put these fears to bed — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

If you wanted to design a years-long conspiracy to drive consumers from the Mac to the iPad, it could look like Catalyst. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

...which would mean the laptop with the most touch apps would be the one without a ...touchscreen. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

But I expect Catalyst to be very popular. Which means a lot of Catalyst apps on the Mac and a lot of companies switch to Catalyst as a cost saving measure. Apple hinted at this on stage in the keynote!! — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

...is most consumer Mac apps end up feeling like you're using them through a veil a cheesecloth, but the cheesecloth is you are using a mouse to interact with an interface designed for touch. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Fine Thread: iOS developers will be able to just check a box. Will they do the extra work on top of that to make their apps better for Mac? Will they need to? Unclear. Best possible outcome: awkward middle phase. Worst................. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Regarding last week's Mazipan (now Catalyst) video: Apple hasn't shown enough today to give me confidence these will be good. I am pretty worried about these apps. Cut for time, maybe, but I fear the consumer Mac is in a precarious position https://t.co/rvbMQZkPLe — PolitiTweet.org

I have many feeling about iPadOS 13. Feelings about the gestures. Feelings about the new windowing model. Feelings about the file browser. Feelings about the file picker. Feelings about the USB-C port. Feelings about the web browser. — PolitiTweet.org

We have had a quick chance to look at the Mac Pro, Here it is! @nickstatt and @reckless are looking at some workflow demos and will update this post soon — and @vjeranpavic will have video soon too. Developing: https://t.co/53XCJQoSms https://t.co/hy8u60C2iy — PolitiTweet.org

What a wild WWDC. It went so fast, I can barely keep track of everything. But here are photos and very early impressions of the Mac Pro. https://t.co/qDwpTojO9E — PolitiTweet.org

It’s WWDC time and I expect it to be a really long keynote with a TON of news. Liveblog with me and @reckless here: https://t.co/yvlfxENW8U — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Apple has fully embraced calling WWDC "Dub Dub." The Apple employees are leading chants where they yell "DUB DUB" and the developers yell "DEE CEE!" I would like to hear this chat but it's "DEFAULT" and then "MAIL CLIENT OF OUR CHOICE" https://t.co/yvlfxENW8U — PolitiTweet.org
