Watched the recent event properly the other day and it convinced there's a MASSIVE hint about Apple's future hidden in plain view. And it's name is Liam...

I'd look at the Sony z5 Compact first and save yourself a pile of cash and get a much better battery life and water protection too.

It's a solid phone with snappy specs. Well worth it if you want a phone experience that just works. If you like tinkering under the hood, use a lot of Google products and don't mind their approach to user privacy then Android might be a better option.

None whatsoever.What tinkering under the hood do you have to do?

He attended a conference in the UK in the last couple of weeks. Sky News got to interview him, asked him two questions
ne about making phone encryption available to the US government, the other on Apple tax affairs. Think Sky need a different tech reporter.

You don't *have* to but if you want the most out of it you'll have to configure it which means lots of mucking about with settings and possibly rooting it.

What settings do you have to change?
There is about as much need to root an android device as there is to jailbreak an iPhone.

You don't have to change anything. It works perfectly well straight out of the box. No fiddling about needed at all.

Finally got to try the Pencil and whoa, its actually really nice. I'm sure needs vary so the iPad pro's are obviously not best for everyone that wants a tablet with stylus but those who spend a lot of time with that sort of thing might want to try one out to see how it varies from the alternatives - it feels different but I don't think I can describe it properly myself.

I started off with Android and moves to iOS with the iPhone 4s. I still use Google for my backend of emails/calendar/contacts and also have the google photos app. It's pretty easy to be able to use Google's stuff without having to move it out to an Apple version.

The BBC asked him the exact same questions, maybe it's all they were allowed to talk about.

Yeah, I got a bit worried by reading that original article and checked and it's bullshit.

Oh iTunes is a spectacular bloated mess that desperately needs splitting apart into more manageable chunks.
The idea that it will randomly delete stuff form your hard drive is bollocks though.

Last Apple tech I was on board with was the macintosh (apple 2 had been useful too) was forwarded to me by someone I know also didn't go down Apple route. Seemed interesting, but I'll take your word on its veracity

It's quite funny how bad they are at some of this stuff. Allegedly some of their dev focus for this year has been making Apple Music better, which shouldn't be hard as its such a mess. I expect some improvements later this year but not enough to make it a brilliant experience.
They don't seem to have the first clue what they are doing with improving iOS app store either - I can't find any good app discovery for apps that can make use of the Apple Pencil for example - how stupid is that?

The Mail app on OSX has been annoying me a lot recently.
Previous version (Lion) sporadically lost my sent messages completely.
Recently went to El Capitan and now the search in Mail doesn't seem to work properly, so I often can't find stuff without tedious manual searches.

So much this. It doesn't make any sense to have iTunes stuffed full of everything in this day and age.
Apple Music works fine for me but I still don't see the point in that connect thing. Never shows me anything new and I'd prefer to be able quick access my playlists via that...

Yup. That Liam thing they showed off recently is the future of Apple products manufacturing...
