It slipped 1 day from what I saw yesterday (now says the 14th for delivery instead of the 13th), but Best Buy still has them available for shipping or pick up on the 13th.

Not doing anything on my phone
I... dont think I like what they did with the iPad in iOS11.
Previously, Ive had everything organised in folders. Social, productivity and so on and when I need to multitask, I swipe in and scroll through to find the app. More often than not, it worked fine because the most used apps are at the bottom.
That doesnt work anymore. Now I have to move the apps I intend to multitask with from their neatly organised folders, and into the dock. Because the dock is the only place you can pull in side-by-side apps. The sheer thought of having a folder called productivity and then 1-3 productivity apps elsewhere on the homescreen, annoys me to no end.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just call it "The new iPhone". I thought there were some rumors talking about how they might not release a 7S/7S+ and just cut the prices of the 7/7+ which makes sense to me because I feel like anybody who wants a new iPhone won't settle for the 7S series compared to what the new iPhone will offer. Not to mention, in the future they can just have the iPhone, iPhone Plus, and maybe iPhone Mini as the SE successor.

The MBP 13' no touch bar got an upgrade yesterday. I tried to ask this question, but I didn't get a straight answer. Are the speed bump and graphics card upgrade significantly from last years model to the new one?
So, is this a significant speed bump if you are just using excel and Parallels Desktop to run statistical software?
Old one
New one.

You can put folders in the dock, I'm pretty sure.
I'm about to blow your mind here:
1) Find one of the apps you want to split view on your home screen.
2) Press and drag the app's icon. Keep your finger held on it so that it remains in "drag and drop" mode.
3) With your other hand or finger, tap the second app's icon to open it, while still holding the first app's icon.
4) The second app will open, and the first app's icon will remain in "drag and drop" mode. You can now drag the first app into split view.

I haven't had a chance to go into things in depth, but did they mention any more security/privacy improvements with iOS 11 or iCloud in general? I know during the keynote they mentioned again that Messages is end-to-end encrypted, but what is the state of iCloud backups and whatnot now? What is and isn't unreadable by Apple/Police/Hackers at this point?
edit: page was last updated May 10th, so I guess nothing new?
edit 2: Wait, when were backups encrypted in transmit and to server? I thought backups were still susceptible to 3rd parties via court orders and hacks.

The more I look at Apples current line, the more I think the new iphones will be called iPhone and iPhone Pro. Think about it, the ipad mini hasn't been updated and neither has the Macbook Air. Now we have the introduction of the iMac pro, it looks like all of apple's products have too major lines. iPad and iPad Pro, Macbook and Macbook Pro, iMac and iMac pro and now we'll have iPhone and iPhone Pro.

Gifs now animate in the Photos app when you tap them to make them full screen.
Not sure if it's been asked, but does anybody running iOS 11 betas know what new features are missing from the iPad Air 2? Im pretty excited about thr new features but I also how devices that are a few years old have a history of missing features and/or performance issues with major iOS upgrades. I'm still happy with my Air 2 but I guess I'm trying to decided if the new 10.5 Pro is good upgrade choice.
All in all I'm happy Apple has shown continued dedication to the tablet space after lot sale of talk about how tablets were already dying off. I personally love thr iPad. I hardly ever play games anymore, and when I do it's on console now, so my windows PC is sitting around unused. I use my MacBook Pro when I want a mouse and keyboard but often I just use the iPad. I'd consider going iPad only if there was mouse support when needed. Hopefully Apple continues to support the iPad brand.

Update of the forever
I don't think there's any noteworthy features in this update missing from the Air 2. New dock, split view, drag and drop, Files, etc. are all there.

From what I can tell, its not missing anything on my Air 2.
Thanks! I know a beta can be a bad way to judge but does it seem like it performs pretty well without lots of slowdown/stuttering?
Assuming the Air 2 handles iOS 11 well, I might hold off for the next major Pro upgrade.

My 7 Plus is running this beta like total dogshit, its 100% too early to tell
Holy fuck this alone makes me want to put the dev beta 1 on my phone.
The majority of iPhone purchases are in the higher end range, but that is not the majority of Mac purchases (or even iPad purchases, I believe)--I think most people purchased the lower-end Mac, for instance, while I don't think Apple would want the majority of people purchasing the iPhone SE or its equivalent.
It's about goddamn time

I feel like "Edition" works better at making it sound like a luxury product instead of a professional product.

iPhone Pro doesn't really make sense to me, it's not a product aimed at pro users in any way.

All their products are premium. The "Pro" name seems to indicate it is meant for Professionals given the audience that the MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, iMac Pro, and iPad Pro seem to be targeted at.

When asked about updating the Mac App Store, Phil says they "care about the Mac App Store", but focusing on iOS for now.
Seems to me like the easiest solution would be to place the icons on a grid like on iOS, but vertically scrolling with the digital crown. Not sure why they haven't thought about that. But I'll take this over the honeycomb.
LyleLanley

Yeah that's what I was getting at.
How is a grid any worse than the honeycomb? Currently, you've got a tight cluster of icons with no names on them. A grid would at least space them out a bit.
My main issue with it is less the layout and more that it's very hard to find the app you need because they're placed pretty randomly.
One day, I thought I ought to rearrange it so that related apps are grouped together in different quadrants with the clock in the centre.
Have you tried rearranging the honeycomb? You put a couple apps into the place you'd like them. Then you try to move the next app, and... when you move it, all the apps you've just finished positioning get shifted! Not you worry, you fight the system and finally get all of those apps where you want it. Onto the next one... and all the ones you've placed get shifted again!
It was seriously the most frustrating thing I've tried to do on an Apple OS.

I agree with this. I don't mind the honeycomb too much but trying to place an icon in a specific location is the most frustrating thing in the world.

Nice.
The crowd singing their ending theme at ATP live was great; I have to admit I catch myself singing along to it in my car, it's a catchy tune.

Hmm,
I have a $25 off $250 purchase for Adorama via AMEX offers and Adorama doesn't charge sales tax in California, effectively making the total purchase $625...

Very bummed I couldn't find the clip of the guy meeting the diva singer in the Fifth Element going "tall.... very tall...." because I was going to ask if that's what your reaction was to meeting Siracusa.
Also, Jonathan Mann is great with the ear worm songs. I loved his Game Jew stuff and a lot of his song-a-day stuff, but even his solo albums are good!

Looks like they removed Wish Lists from the App Store in iOS 11. I used that feature a lot.
Now Im sending links to apps I might want to buy from the share sheet to my Notes app, which is less convenient but still something.
