https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/full-feature-list/
When going down that site and revealing all Features and doing a quick CTRL+F and typing in for desktop only, you get at least 53 matches of Features the IPad doesn´t have.
https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/publisher/full-feature-list/
20 matches for Publisher
https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/full-feature-list/
58 matches for Designer
I haven´t looked if the matches are duplicates or not.

@Patrick Connor
I think the confusion stems from this forum post in which @Ashposted;QuoteOffer period
In case you didn’t see, I’m pleased to confirm we have decided to run this initial launch offer until 14th December to give everyone the best chance possible to get it if they wish / have a decent amount of time to trial it.
Not that I would ever complain about this, it´s kind and cool that the 40% off got extended!
EDIT;
looking at the Website, it currently says until 25.January 2023

Comparing is impossible since the given example images aren´t the same size and thus its skewed in favor of Corel draw.
The Affinity example you posted is 1500x1061px
the Corel draw output is 1800x1273px -
According to the official info, MSIX doesn't provide this as an option, but you can pin the apps to either the Start Menu or the Taskbar.
There is also the secret Shell:AppsFolder location in Explorer that allows you to right-click or drag the icon to your Desktop for a shortcut as a workaround if you need it.To get to that Appsfolder location, you have to press Windows+R to open the Windows Run dialog. type the Shell:AppsFolder in, press enter and the folder is open.
search for the Affinity Program right click and then Create shortcut. -
Hallo @Rolf Schuchard,
das Affinity Team hat mehrere Lösungswege aufgeschrieben.
zum einen kann man ausprobieren auf diese jeweiligen Verlinkungen zu verweisen;C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityDesigner2.exe
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPublisher2.exe
Das username muss man ersetzen mit dem eigenen Windowsnamen.
Eine offizielle Lösung mit dem verlinken auf einer Exe Datei wurde auch hochgeladen;Die Verlinkung aus dem anderen Program muss auf diese Exe datei erfolgen.
Die offizielle Zip Datei die oben verlinkt ist herunterladen und auf dem eigenen Rechner an einer Stelle entpacken wo es nicht ausversehen gelöscht wird.
Verknüpfung von einem externen Program erfolgt dann auf diese entpackte Exe datei.
Laut den Angaben des Teams soll in der Zukunft neben dem MSIX installer auch ein Exe Installer Angeboten werden, da sollte das verknüpfen dann ohne Umwege direkt gehen.
EDIT; für die Verknüpfung erstellen auf dem Desktop;
mit Windows + R kann man das Ausführen Fenster öffnen, dort dann Shell:AppsFolder tippen und die Enter Taste drücken.
Es öffnet sich ein Ordner mit allen installierten Programmen.
Nun mittels Rechtsklick und Verknüpfung erstellen beim gewünschten Program die Desktopverknüpfung erstellen.

I tried to match the position of the provided pictures and made a comparison.
The "corel draw " picture has apparently a darker black and might look sharper because of it? -

Sadly it is back to Adobe.
Sticking to Adobe might not be that wise...

Für das zurücksetzen der Pinsel kann man entweder folgendes ausprobieren;
Bearbeiten>Einstellungen>Verschiedenes> Pinsel zurücksetzen.Oder alternativ und für alle Programme;
Vor dem Starten und klicken auf Affintiy Photo bitte STRG gedrückt halten und solange warten bis das folgende Fenster auftaucht.
unter "alle Apps des Typs Affinity 2" dann Pinsel zurücksetzen selektieren und Löschen klicken.- SrPx and Peter Eckardt

There may, for all I know, be other restrictions in individual software, including Affinity! However, I am sure you will find that (unless you try hacking the Windows registry) using file names longer than 256/260 characters will cause some problems!
This is an interesting take and might be true in many cases.
When you want to program with for example python, the official installer recommends and gives the option of disabling the 256char limit. Disabling that limit is done to prevent problems and having much easier debugging (finding errors) capabilities. -
I am afraid to say, you have to use the old versions from Blender 2.9x.
There is no support yet for the newest version 2.X.X (from 2020 upwards).It would be cool thou when Serif updates their programs so they are compatible with the standards written down by the Visual Effects Society Technology Committee and other Software vendors.

As for crazy high M1 scores especially in the context of GPU results
so for non Apple users, Its the Resizable Bar feature which probably is not supported by the Affinity Product line?

pretty much what you wrote;
MSI apps are not sandboxed from other applications (important when working with other programs)
MSI has easy discovery of app locations for launching from a third-party. same as above.
MSI can allow the user to change the installation directory. (SSDs, M.2-SSDs are still expensive)
MSI updates require a manual download of the full ~550mb installer which must be manually installed. <- preferable when known regressions have happened or you need to "lock in" a version for workflow reasons on a big project. -

The announced free exclusive content you will get for already owning V1 and also having bought V2 is not enough?
Quotewe will offer a new free bundle of content exclusively for V1 customers upgrading to V2 as an extra thank you for your support. I’ve seen this suggested by a number of customers and it’s a great idea as it does remove the App Store conflict entirely.
We’ll need a little time to put something together, but all customers who previously registered or purchased V1 and have since upgraded to V2 will receive a voucher code for this via email as soon as we can.

I think @luki1412 is unhappy about the anchoring in the pricing which seems to not be in the favor of cases where customers want to only update or purchase two of the programs?
The anchoring is great when the customer has has all three programs on one System (146,97€) vs the Universal which costs less.(119,99€) -

I used to be surprised that such a wonderful and complex software like Affinity Photo could cost $50 for a program. It's too cheap.
The same Photoshop, when it was not a subscription, cost several hundred dollars.
uh...
Those where ancient times and nowadays many 2D programs are readily available which are in fierce competition with each other, be it feature and price wise. -
Hello, with the new msix builds thats not possible during install. you could after installation go into your installed apps and then move the install to another drive.
exe files are announced but we do not know if they allow custom installation paths. -

For the internet connection stuff:
Within the Preferences> Miscellaneous is an option to untick automatic uploading of crash reports.
Edit; the Affinity Suite is checking once per Startup (or day?) if a new update is available that too could mean that low traffic is happening. -
@DarkClown Hi, I would advice to temporarily use the edit in Photo command to add the Perspective tool and then go back to Designer.
That way you still have the vectorshape and the gradient.

Desktop doesn´t have it either.

I don't see that here. Do you use any effects or blending modes on the strokes/edges?
This Clip explains the difference between Premultiplied and Straight alpha (Pre-divide or un-premultiply).
Love the suite, but PLEASE update brush behavior!!!

For Point 1, have you tried clicking on the brush icon on your layer?
There should be a list of used brushes and sizes. clicking on one of those means, you get switched back to the brush and its size setting.
