Apple has turned iOS into a Windows Phone, and MacBooks into an iPad

In this text, I will not simply retell the key points from yesterday's Apple presentation. I will try

honestly and impartially talk about positive and negative (in my opinion) innovations, and how Apple’s decisions will affect the entire market as a whole.

First of all, I cannot help but note with regret,that almost every section of the presentation - updating iOS, iPadOS, Apple Watch, macOS - the company begins with demonstrating interface changes, even if much more global and significant things are then announced. The reason is clear - even the company’s lifestyle press (such as the Liza magazine) is now more interesting than the technical press. Remember all those moans on the Internet that if a new iPhone is similar in appearance to the previous one (which happens every generation), then it’s the same and there’s nothing new? This is for all these people who understand absolutely nothing about technology and innovation for them lies only in redrawn icons on the desktop.

Have you redrawn the icons? Innovation! They didn’t redraw it, but they changed the architecture, expanded the ecosystem, and taught a wristwatch to do an ECG? Pfft, nonsense, nothing new, the company is marking time.

Therefore, there is no escape here. Since we have set a course for lifestyle, we must comply.

Smartphones: the new iOS 14 and its widgets

However, it is in the case of iOS 14 changesnot only and not so much cosmetic, although once again the question is brewing: “Why did the company not do all this before?”. Why has Apple (and its loyal fans) been suffering trash on the desktop for so many years in the form of hundreds of icons scattered across a dozen desktops? Indeed, even folders did not solve this problem. So many times I moved from an old iPhone to a new one using the backup transfer, and almost always I had to re-organize the folders.
