So are they just going to roll out universal control without any developers or users testing it?
I certainly don’t expect it with 15.0/MacOS 12. So it will probably get love with 15.1/12.1
I think so too, but it’s odd they aren’t saying that on the preview page. They did with SharePlay, and have with other features in the past
I highly doubt it gets scrapped. That’s a pretty big feature.
I have never had a chance to be that guy so here it goes..… Nothing Today !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
AirPower ran into some physical hardware issues that they were unable to resolve sufficiently to release a product of acceptable quality. Universal Control, on the other hand, is almost purely software, and Apple has control of the entire stack on every supported product — it may take a bit more work to get it up to what Apple considers acceptable quality, but unlike AirPower, there aren't any fundamental physics challenges to overcome.
As a software engineer I can name quite a few software projects that have been scrapped due to bad planning, insufficient budget, or cuz they have proven to be infeasible in general. In a year, in which apple couldn’t deliver anything new, software wise, I can see how they can give up on a slightly more challenging feature.
Nah. It’ll come with 15.1, which I think will come out with Monterey, since MacOS doesn’t come out the same time as iOS x.0 releases.
if it was gonna be scrapped, it would be totally removed from the code, which it hasn’t been.
Maybe. As we had tvOS beta and homepodOS drop this week.
Like the way you think 😂 all aboard the Friday beta train 😎😂
Did homepodOS also see a release this week? All I can find is that it's on beta 8 while tvOS is on its ninth beta. Apologies if I'm mistaken.
They can continue to release HomePod and TVOS betas because there are no new HomePods or AppleTVs going on sale next week that need the RC to be pre-installed.
And they are never going to be put in that position again. Tremendous embarrassment.
Plus, it’s not the first time a feature was bumped from an x.0 release to x.1 or x.2.
I think the official release will be 15.0 then 15.1 will go straight into beta
