@othello I just bought a new 5k iMac. My hope is that becomes the only Mac, and that I can switch to iPad Pro for everything else. I still need access to things like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere for work reasons.
@mikebutcher @Telegraph Not until I’ve checked the byline. There are journalists there I still trust, including quite a number of former students.
@rosieniven Actually, your old Mac couldn’t run Catalina - the current version, either. Big Sur is just dropping 2012 and very early 2013 models.
@rosieniven Yup. It doesn’t run on anything earlier than a 2013 model.

Phew. My MacBook Pro just scrapes into the Big Sur compatibility list.
This time next year I suspect I’ll be choosing between an Apple silicon replacement - or going all in on iPad Pro for mobile computing. t.co/NweUsiGix… 
Well, having Adobe and Microsoft both on board already will make the ARM transition for Macs much, much smoother. And 3 times 4K streams in Final Cut Pro is exciting stuff.
MacOS Big Sur: love the new design, but feel like they’re just trolling us with the name now.
@charlesrathmann Trudeau can reuse that old strip…
Controversial opinion: I prefer this keynote format.
Automatic hand-washing detection and timing on Apple Watch! That’s as Covid-y as it gets.
Dance workouts on Apple Watch. Oh, yes. 💃 ⌚️ (Watch-based cycling navigation seem vital in a Covid-world, too.)
I can barely read my own handwriting. Good luck to iPad OS in figuring it out.
So… if your phone runs out of battery, your car won’t start or open?

They have a real aversion to static shots in this pre-recorded WWDC keynote, don’t they?
The new iOS 14 widgets just announced at WWDC are going to be amazing on iPad.
Wow. Empty Steve Jobs Theatre. Striking way to acknowledge the unusual times.

I’m actually more interested in how — visually — Apple chooses to do the WWDC keynote later on today, than what they actually announce.
Do they try to replicate the normal stage format? Or do they go a different direction?
