npm stands for “Let’s be shitty about everything, including our naming”
It’s done to have a big contrast between the letter and its background, so you can read all the information all the time (except in edge cases, like the seconds in the video you show, the background is mostly 50-50 with black and white, so the text is kept in black, and can be a bit hard to read)
There’s a lot this plastic bag doesn’t deserve.
Europeans are called spacionauts too.
I don’t think there’s any difference between the beta and the final release in this regard (generally, the official release has the same build number than the latest release candidate).
From what I understand, the process can take a lot of time, as it happens in the background, when the phone is not actively used. And for power users that install .0 versions day one (which is really not a thing to do, but that’s not the point here), I imagine they will dig everything they can from these new versions, leaving less time for background processes to be run.
Isn’t this the same with every major iOS release? The OS needs to rebuild its caches, and that tends to impact on battery life, for a time, and then everything goes back to normal…
The app looks really nice and already well polished. This smells really nice for the future.
Your mouth was salty? What’s the problem then?
