mrqasq Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 It can be. Just like there is Office 365, while there weren't 25,58,125,234 and 364. Its just a name. But I know what you mean. It could very well be named iPad Publisher, as there were none before it. But I belive its done on purpose, to differenciate it from curent, so to say v1 family, generation of apps.

It’s almost like a qualification. Since the naming is different, it suggests that what’s in the can is different, too. like coke classic. Is it real coca-cola? If it is, why does it have a different name? It suggests you’re not actually getting the real thing, but some kind of euphemistically-named substitute. this might be overthinking…. however, when I learned that it seemed there’d be an iPad version of possibly the greatest graphics suite ever created, it felt like the plan was to offer a cross-platform work environment… …which I feel is why we’re all on the edge of our seats waiting for it. having a v2 when there isn’t even a v1 makes one think that it’s not a continuation of what we have on mac and windows, but something with clipped wings. still…will be cool when it arrives.

PaulEC Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I did wonder about the numbering of Publisher for iPad. But (assuming there isn't a v1 followed rapidly by v2) it probably makes more sense for all nine apps in version 2 of the Affinity suite to be referred to as v2, rather than Publisher for iPad having a different version number. I can see that there could be a lot of confusion, as people new to Affinity would probably assume that "Publisher for iPad v1" was actually an earlier version than all the other apps in the suite and, therefore, not compatible with them!

You’re getting the v2 codebase and feature set scaled for iPad. if they brought out all new apps for the other platforms at v2 and the iPad at v1 then I’d assume it was on the same codebase as publisher v1 You’ll notice that iPadOS debuted with a high version number than 1.0.

firstnose Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I like the Affinity products but I am a bit disappointed with the "consumer communication". It's a shame that the information comes from Apple and not from them. If there is an Affinity admin, it would be nice to hear from him.. «The breakthrough performance of M2 enhances an incredible selection of pro apps available on iPad, including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Publisher 2 iPad, Octane X, uMake, and more.» mrqasq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main source of information has been Apple “leaks” in their screenshots. Nothing official about a release date. I suggest more starching of the underwear. Prevents getting them in a twist.
