Jackie Dove, Macworld


> One major reason—maybe <i>the</i> reason—to snap up iOS 7 is the new photographic capabilities built into the Camera and Photos apps. The new features expand the range of photos you can take, and most are accessible and easy to use.

Christopher Breen, Macworld


> Whenever an operating system or application changes appearances in a radical way, people can get lost. Such is the case with iOS 7. In the past week I’ve read complaints that can be addressed simply by having a better understanding of what goes where. Let’s walk through a few.

*** iOS 7, You’re Making Me Sick. ***

Thoughtbrain Brainfood


> No this is not a rant about the look of iOS 7, but the inability to turn off the animated zoom interaction as you go into your folders, open an app, multi-task through screens into another app. I have motion sickness and I guess no one else in the Apple team had this condition. Yes, you can turn off parallax in the accessibility. It’s not the parallax that is causing it, it’s the zooming. After seeing an article on App.net, I realized I wasn’t alone. I also found other people were complaining on the Apple’s Forums.

OS X Daily


> The Mac command key, sitting alongside the spacebar and containing that funky looking icon logo, is commonly used for initiating keyboard shortcuts throughout OS X. But that command key also has some nice usability tricks up its sleeve that are lesser known and underutilized, many of which can help with your general workflow throughout OS X and the Finder. Here are five particularly handy tips that use the command key.




*** Mac Apps Are Harder Than iOS Apps ***
<https://medium.com/tech-blogging/614338e2e470>
Matt Ronge


> Mac apps are trickier to build, and we aren’t likely to see that change in the near future. The APIs have more cruft, there are more hardware configurations, more OS features to worry about, and more hacked on APIs. If you are an iOS developer taking on a Mac project, make sure to give yourself ample time as it’s harder than it seems.




*** On Apple’s Vertical Silicon Strategy ***

Stve Cheney


> These points of collaboration started years ago and allow Apple to essentially treat silicon as a commodity they control, adjusting ‘make vs buy’ strategies years ahead of competitors, while wielding incredible power over suppliers. The results in a halo around platform evolution at the silicon level that is unmatchable.
