Widgets in MacOS Sonoma can now be placed anywhere on the home screen. Additionally, users can interact with widgets without opening the app. While some users appreciate the versatility and visual appeal of widgets, others find them messy and unnecessary. The new widget placement feature in Sonoma is seen as part of the effort to make iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS more similar in appearance. This update has similarities to the widget functionality in Windows Vista. Some users suggest placing widgets on a separate desktop or between multiple monitors. The evolution of widget placement in MacOS is an ongoing process, with Apple experimenting and observing user preferences. Overall, Sonoma introduces improved widget placement options for MacOS users.
It's WWDC time! In this episode we break down everything Apple announced at its annual developer conference, from iOS to MacOS to.. VisionOS? Unfortunately, in order to fit everything we had to skip on doing trivia in this episode, but don't worry! If wacky tech trivia is what you live for (like us), we did a trivia collab with the Vergecast where we went head-to-head so make sure to check that out! We also hopped on at the end of their emergency WWDC podcast for a fun lightning round at the end. There's a ton to get into with everything that Apple announced. This is a long one, but we hope you enjoy!
