iOS 14 Review: Making Of
Earlier this week, I published my annual review of iOS and iPadOS on MacStories. You can find it here; if you’re a Club MacStories member – and if you’re reading this, I have to assume you are – you can check out the large collection of exclusive perks we’ve prepared for you this year here. Every year, in addition to the review itself, I also put together a ‘Making Of’ story that details the research, writing, and editing stages of the review, along with some considerations on the overall process.
