    The POINT of Apple is that when things are “in house” they get to cross-pollinate.

    As I noted in another thread. Squish down an iPhone into a long thin form-factor and install that along with a subset of it’s code into your keyboard and what do you get?

    The TouchBar.

    Seems suddenly kinda useful to have FCP X be a healthy subset of Apple as a whole.

    Well, I’ve been told numerous times by folks at ProApps that they don’t get a “heads up” on upcoming hardware. At least not until the last minute. Apple is structured in very tight silos. Obviously this time might be different, but it’s not a given. Otherwise you’d be able to plug your iPhone directly into a new MBP and charge it. ?

    You can’t be arguing that won’t happen, can you?

    And anyway…

    On top power only. Below, Power PLUS very high capacity bi-directional data – making every port a power tap and a connectivity port simultaneously.

    This is kinda what manufacturing advancement looks like, isn’t it?.

    Just sayin’

    I’m not sure a problem that can be solved cheaply is really that big a problem.

    The moral of the story is to buy stock in adapter companies.

    I dunno. Add that to the other pile of dongles for the MBP and I think the tally is up to around $250. ?

    Speaking of dongles… “Apple’s New USB-C AV Multiport Adapter/Dongle Doesn’t Work”

    Well, that must have changed, or it’s been a while since you’ve checked in with your sources.

    Apple just demoed 3 professional applications all tied to a Touch Bar with on stage demos.

    Apple released ProApps software as soon as the last foot left the stage that supported the Touch Bar, and tied the release directly to a MacBook Pro. I don’t know if there could have been any more heads up.

    Nope.

    [Oliver Peters] “Since you could already export with roles summed into audio stems shows that this architecture was there, pre-10.3. The need to use compound clips for submixes points to a less-than-adequate approach to solving the problem. “

    It’s a lot different under the hood. The fact that it doesn’t appear to be is, in my opinion, why this took so long. I don’t think they’re done, but just guessing…
