Blog

I blog at http://loumiranda.com

Some of my more prescient blog posts include:

• There's No Such Thing as an iPad App — Many "analysts" are calling for iPad- (or iPad Pro)-specific apps. I discuss why that's not Apple's plan, and why you should design your apps to fit Apple's plan
• The Apple Watch is the New iPhone—and the iPhone is the New iPad — The Apple Watch is a game-changer, and how we use it mimics how we used the original iPhone
• Apple software quality: is the sky really falling? — Discussion of the torrid pace of Apple's innovations, and what drives it
• The Web is Dying—and Google Just Put the Final Nail in the Coffin — Can native apps really replace the web? Good comments discussion, too.
• Will Apple emphasize OS X apps by sharing more features with iOS and derivatives? — What's the future of Storyboards in Xcode (I wrote this over a year ago, and it turned out right)
• Will Apple make universal apps work on iOS and OS X? — I explain differences between iOS and OS X, and how Apple could move Cocoa Touch to OS X (or Cocoa to iOS)
• You Can't Ignore the Tablet — My slide deck from Twin Cities Mobile March in 2014, where I discuss iOS strategies for making universal iPhone and iPad apps (some of this has been superseded by new features in iOS 8 & 9)
