It was announced as early as June and was introduced with the release of the new iPhone 13 line-up. The iOS 15 brings in upgrades to FaceTime making it more natural, improved photo gallery search, a more beautiful Apple Map, and even full-screen displays for your Weather app.
There is no question that your iPhone is already an extension of your character and personality. But sending plain text messages can easily get misunderstood without the recipient seeing your facial expression or hearing your tone of voice. After launching the survey, they were asked to pick the best iPad video tutorial, but after survey results were delivered, it was very clear and undisputed recipient of the popular title was iPad Pete's "ipad video lessons".
Folks surveyed about the poll appeared to have split responses to iPad video lessons, varying from pure disbelief that one particular site could be so very popular and valuable, to complete agreement over the selection residents had decided upon. As a well recognized online marketing professional that specializes on tutorial techniques, making claim of the official title was not a surprise to a larger bulk of those individuals who took part.
After the final results were in, iPad Pete said "To be truthful, I just didn't even realize that there was a poll going on at all. I'm stunned that many people know my name"! Hearing that folks here in Rockledge have actually recognized me as The "Best iPad Video Tutorial " creator isn't only an honor, it's also a privilege. Many thanks to all residents that participated in the vote". So, although this is not the blog for in-depth analysis, I did have a few thoughts as things unfolded, and here they are.
The Apple Watch is a non starter for me at the current time, therefore no big excitement here. Well the iPad Pro looks like a powerful monster, however is just a little on the large side for how I tend to use mine. All that power? Well, probably wasted on my text editor, web browsing, email, social media and an episode of The Americans on my afternoon commute. Not a common transition path in any event though I expect. The new Apple TV? Yes, thank you. Our second TV has been crying out for some content assistance in the form of a little streaming, and what better opportunity than to grab a new model Apple TV.
The Siri remote looks pretty handy, as does the revamped UI which will now include Apps. I can confidently say this will definitely be a starter in our household in the not too distant future. Then there were the iPhones of course. The usual improvements in camera and phone internals, along with more enticing features such as 3D Touch with an awful lot of Peek and Pop going on and Live Photos 1. Of course the new Rose Gold colour also made its debut, so eloquently described on a special early morning edition by geographical necessity of the Reckoner Podcast:.
And finally, lets face it — my complexion is crying out… just crying out I say, for the new Retina Flash on the front facing camera. Of course anyone can rabbit on precisely in the vain I have done above, however might I point you towards some more seasoned analysis emphasis indicates sites which carry the Australian flag :.
Upgrade : Everything is Off The Charts. Follow petedenison. In recent weeks there has been a good deal of discussion around the release of the updated Mac version of this writing app from developer The Soulmen, which also coincided with the release of an iPad version to go with it. Ulysses — Mac. As I have written about previously , I am a recent convert to the Mac app, and earlier this year began using the iPad beta version prior to the full release affording little value to the developer during the bata period mind you.
What follows should be taken as it is intended, simply a few thoughts on how I find both the Mac and iPad applications certainly not an exhaustive review , and why I enjoy writing with them — from a somewhat less than power user of both. Ulysses — iPad. It is certainly not to sell you on Ulysses — after all, writing is writing — a keyboard and hopefully output. There are many other apps out there which may suit your particular needs far better than this one, and I suspect those who are entrenched in something like Scrivener might read these words and be quite happy they already have everything covered.
Of course if that is the case there remains the iPad to consider, depending on where your writing occurs. A point to note here is that I have been an avid iOS user for around three and a half to four years now both iPad and iPhone , and a Mac user for two, during which time, most of my writing has occurred in Byword on both the iPad and Mac.
Over time I moved to Editorial on my iPad mini, although continued with Byword on the Mac, syncing both through Dropbox. Although I do have the iPhone versions of both Byword and Editorial, I have never really taken to longer form writing on my phone, preferring the iPad — and more often than not an external keyboard, which remains the case today. In all honesty — no particular reason in the first instance. I think at that point in time, having finally committed myself to the 50, word challenge I was looking for all the help I could get!
Upon thinking more about this — credit where credit is due to Ulysses here. Had the app imposed more friction to set up, write in, and generally manage over that month, I would most likely have exported what I had written to another app and never looked back. Retrospectively, undertaking my first NaNoWriMo and learning the features of a new app at the same time was probably not the smartest decision, however it certainly paid off this time.
Evidently yes. Here we find I again under utilise the power of Ulysses and its potential as — particularly a longer form — writing app. Looking back, to date my use has consisted of the following:. It is here I see most of my future uses also occurring, however I do plan on tackling some longer form writing again in the future.
I am all in with iCloud syncing in my current Ulysses set up. Having used the External Folders option with Dropbox syncing for my initial NaNoWriMo foray, I think iCloud suits Ulysses perfectly — particularly the file and folder structures, and now with both Mac and iPad options available.
It is certainly no crime to choose iCloud as the preferred method of syncing, however there have been a couple of misdemeanours on iClouds part I believe which unfortunately for the developer occurred around the same time as the Mac update and release of the full iPad version of the app.
Although needing a restart of my iPad or Mac at varying times no data loss — simply to trigger the sync , after this initial week or so it has been rock solid, and of course it is fantastic to have everything updated with no effort from myself when I next pick up writing — on whether device.
One particular feature I do love are the status indicators which appear on launching the app — on either platform, indicating iCloud is updating. There is nothing worse than opening an iCloud connected app, knowing a sync should be occurring, yet never really being sure it is — not until updated data suddenly appears. Two pane view on iPad with iCloud status indicators at left. All of my writing, templates, and planning are therefore kept in the iCloud folders within Ulysses.
For those still perhaps a little wary who also use the iPad app, there is a nice use of the iOS Workflow App to semi automate a back up of these iCloud folders to Dropbox. Three pane view on Mac — folder structure at left. Mac view of version screen — date scroll marker far right.
Whilst I am not obsessive about file organisation, I do like the fact my writing is kept nicely laid out within Ulysses itself, and easily accessible in the customisable three pane layout. Although currently absent from the folders after been exported upon completion — the first draft of my NaNoWriMo novel will soon return for revision.
For the novel, each sheet was a chapter with keywords added, allowing filtering of specific sheets or chapters as it were to follow through a particular plot line relating to a particular character. Overall, I think a useful analogy here is to consider the iCloud folders as the bookshelf; each project as a loose leaf binder; and the sheets as just that — individual sheets of paper able to be rearranged within the binder with the utmost ease.
Sheets can be duplicated hence my use of templates , glued, split, merged, rearranged or opened in a new window — handy for referring back to previous chapters or drafts while writing the current one.
Note at the current time these features are limited to duplicating and rearranging sheets on the iPad version. The third pane is the editor, where all of your writing occurs. The structure of these folders within iCloud does not place them within view in the iCloud Drive folders, as they are proprietary folders within Ulysses itself — perfect for my needs, and with the amount of export options available you can send and backup your files anywhere you wish, or use the Open In option should you wish to continue in another App.
Personally I use this feature to proofread in Marked 2 when on the Mac. A recent post on the Ulysses blog outlines a new O pen Files feature, allowing any. Handy for those times where a full import of a file or files is not necessary.
