The only thing i like in this update is actually some new wallpapers, finally.
Surface studio looks cool, like something out of a futuristic movie... that said, I don't think they're going to sell many.
How many people need a desktop computer with a stylus? How many architects and illustrators are there? Sure it's not a minuscule number, but I think you'd hit just as large of a market selling a desktop with a built-in piano keyboard or built-in dj controller.
At least with an iPad pro, you can use the pencil to take notes. With a desktop, why would you bother?
My Bluetooth issues were fixed on 10.1 but Hoping this one solves my CarPlay issues, which I thought where the same but aren't.
There is a new Bluetooth icon for headsets. Kind of reminds me the old iOS 2 days where we had an icon for the original Apple Bluetooth earpiece.
Wow. So all the fixes for broken stuff you dont care about. Interesting. Oh and unless you have a 7 series you dont get the new wallpapers either so its an entire bust I guess.
Here is the running list of whats been fixed or found that some of may want to take a look at. A lot of the questions in this thread have been answered here on page 1.

Off hand, I'd estimate an order of magnitude or two greater than the number of people who need a touch bar.
Whats the fascination with new wallpapers with every update? With the ability to make virtually any picture your wallpaper I just don't get the excitement or frustration if there are or are not any new wallpapers in iOS updates
So I guess you have to have an iPhone 7 to get the new wallpapers. I guess last years iPhones cant handle the extreme processing power required to run a live bubble. Guess I'll have to upgrade. Someone posted on Reddit a while ago that Apple has become the man on the giant screen in the 1984 Macintosh ad, I agree.
Many of us are and will not buy watches, overpriced MBPs (They'll get our money when these are right)
Apple deserves praise for "working" software, excellent build quality and excellent iPhones (I'll leave the wireless earphone plug debate unresolved), but they deserve criticism for bad and to most users unimportant stuff.
Of course we know the EMOJIs are not updated by the same people who do other stuff. How about Apple, doesn't update them at all or maybe once a year? People lived all their lives without EMOJIs and will not die if they miss a new one or one where the artwork was changed.
They are not updating their Macs or at least say what they are throwing out (Mac Mini, Mac Pro) and when they do they are still old tech.
So, for now one has to already decide not whether to leave, only WHEN to leave.
Without their OS they would already be toast.
For now the bitching is about what is in the lime light.
Don't tell me they do not feel the sting and backlash of their last presentation and offering.
Pathetic and not even close to previous Mac events.
What they showed could have been done on their website and with a youtube video.
People need a place to vent, since Apple doesn't seem to care.
Lately they are batting 100 in bad news. That can't be good.
I may not be typical, but when an all Apple user since 1984 (Incl. real duds in all these years) checks out hackintoshes and writes more negative posts than: "let's give things a chance and be patient", something is definitely wrong.

I guess for some people maybe it's a way of showing off they're running the latest iOS version or something... "see, you wish you had that wallpaper, huh? huh?"
Seems like the trend of just trying to come up with some clever digs at Apple continues, which is quite simple to do when the majority of the details and the topic of the actual article and thread are ignored.
