    My experience with Sidecar so far

    Posted: 04 Jul 2019 03:26 PM PDT

    I've been using it with the 2018 12.9 ipad pro and a 2018 13" mbp. Latest beta (3?). Noticed a few things

    • can't hit full 60 fps at all times
    • the first interaction after some period of inactivity, like dragging a window after working on internal screen, is often laggy
    • sometimes it will slow down the mac itself for no apparent reason. This is similar to any screensharing software, just not as bad
    • small performance data point: avconferenced process (used for ft before?) is roughly using 25% CPU and 25% GPU per the activity monitor while watching a twitch stream in full screen mode
    • gets loud and warm, high refresh rate content like videos should be played on the internal screen to keep fan noise down
    • heavy on the battery but can't confirm how much through with activity monitor, relevant processes do not show up. The ipad is discharging much slower so I assume it is mostly powered by the mac as well, despite having near full battery on its own. There is no charging icon even when plugged in (= some special apple magic here?). If the mac is plugged in the ipad will still discharge eventually (the 5-10 hours runtime I'd guess)
    • colors are slightly different. I have not changed the stock calibration settings on the macbook and both devices have true tone enabled
    • once the session is established I can even use the ipad keyboard to enter text. This breaks sometimes though
    • WiFi range is good. Had stable connection ~3-4 meters away with clear sight. Afterwards it disconnected but that might have been due to buggy beta. I prefer using a cable anyways
    • little surprise but going to home screen on ipad works flawlessly. you can even use something like (iOS) safari with the floating overlay window on top of your mac screen content. I hope there will be more interaction between these two in the future

    Context: I like the idea of using the ipad as second display on the go. For this it must be quiet enough to use in public places and it must not drain the battery too much.

    overall I am very impressed with the performance, but the risk of it running the mac even louder and hotter than normal is a pretty big problem for me

    Has anyone been in Apple Developer Academy in Naples?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2019 07:54 AM PDT

    I've completed the application form and will have my exam next week. Just wanted to ask past students:

    ​

    What is the difficulty level of questions on the exam? The self-assessment quiz is easy.

    Are calculators allowed? lol

    What kind of questions do they ask on the Skype interview? Will I have to present my previous projects? (I have some)

    Where did you live? In dorms or did you rent an apartment?

    What job opportunities did you get after finishing the Academy?

    Does the iPhone use the microphone to anticipate searches in Safari?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2019 10:58 PM PDT

    I can't find any documentation, and only one program (not safari) has ever requested access to my microphone.

    I've had several searches anticipate what I wanted based on conversations I was having (or TV I was watching). The Siri assistant is not enabled.

    A few weeks ago I was watching "Lucifer" and the main character was playing the piano, and singing. I opened up Safari, and before I finished typing the first generic word "lyrics" it had already brought up lyrics to the song that was being sung on the TV. (Creep - by Radiohead) which I had never searched for before

    Today it happened 3 times, once we were talking about Tom Brady's wife immediately before I opened Safari (to find out how old Brady is) and before I had typed in "Tom" Gisele appeared as a suggestion

    The most recent time I was talking about one of Mozart's songs, that I hadn't heard of before today, and had never searched for, and before I finished typing "Mozart"... the very song I had just discussed was the suggested link.

    Anybody else getting a lot of suggested links that seem based off conversations you were literally just having, that would suggest your phone's microphone is listening.
