![]() ![]() Running M1 ios apps on my M1 mac is not going to be a 100% solution to this problem, but I would prefer having the capability if it were up to me. Select the iPhone or iPad in the iTunes navigation bar. or coming form the other direction, something like Korg Gadget which is 5x the price on macos. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac, using a USB > Lightning cable. Instead we’re getting the same pro-level tools with subscription models, rent to own, etc. That seems to not have happened, and I’m sure it’s sales volume-related, as you’ve pointed out. At one time, I hoped that a similar market for post-ios desktop music software would emerge: fun musical tools/toys without complicated feature sets or professional price tags. More broadly though: what I like about ios music making apps is that while they’re generally less capable than desktop software, they seem to be built more around fun, ease of use, and unique concepts, which I find appealing as a non-professional. But no, it’s probably not something I would use all the time. Speaking for myself, there are a few apps that work well as ios audio units that I would love to be able to use as macos audio units, and not purely for the purpose of cheaping out. Though again, we already can do that with multiple build targets… so really only useful if your iOS developer is for some reason wanting to avoid macOS dev? I think there the cross-over with laptops (macbooks) is much bigger, perhaps a complex app on the iPad Pro M1… might be able to written in such a way, it works nicely on your laptop too. I guess one area this might becoming interesting is in relation to the iPad Pro M1. (also you can sell as two separate products !) Well let’s remember for years, Apple has been pushing how easy it is to develop apps that run on both iOS and Desktop, the SDK is not so different.Īs a developer, if this is your goal, it probably better (quality wise) to do it as a cross-platform product, rather than to ‘emulate iOS’ on the mac, and get a cut down experience. But that doesn’t go far enough.I think, Apple has enjoyed so much success with the iOS app store, they are trying to find a way to really leverage that better, get mac users using it more… which from a corporate standpoint make a lot of sense. I suspect this is already true to some degree-Apple silicon Macs wake up instantaneously, and the Power Nap feature is no longer optional. On Macs running Apple Silicon, it’s time for Apple to change what the definition of sleep is, to make it more resemble the iPhone and iPad. Jason Cross/IDGĪpple silicon can play a key role in redefining what Sleep mode is on a Mac. Yes, Apple’s “Power Nap” feature allows Macs to occasionally wake up from sleep and perform some basic tasks… but it’s a temporary, intermittent state. When you put a Mac to sleep, whether it’s via the Apple menu, when the display sleeps, or when you close the lid on your laptop, it’s not there anymore. When you click the sleep button on an iPhone or iPad, it’s still functioning, but in a low-power state that limits battery drain. The efficiency cores allow ultra-low-power operation, which makes sense since iPhones and iPads are always on, even when their screens are off. But beyond that, now that we’re in the Apple silicon era, I think we need to abandon some assumptions about how Macs work-and it’s my habits of using AirPods with my iPad and iPhone that brought this to mind.Īpple’s processors, unlike the chips in Intel-based Macs, have two kinds of processor cores-“performance” cores and “efficiency” cores. Suffice it to say, the Mac needs to do a better job of supporting AirPods.
