someone try out the find my airpods. Perhaps they detect they are not in an ear and ping as loud as they can.
Can anyone check if the AirPods can do more actions? (Or do they need a firmware update rather an iOS update?)
Does find my AirPods just let you know when they are finally available in store
I sure hope my AirPods are found soon, they still have not been delivered...
worked great for me. showed where they were connected last and when I was in range played a sound. you can mute each ear in case one is in the couch or in a pocket
Wow! I'll let this beta cycle run its full course, and probably wait a day or two after release before upgrading, but as much as the preceding doesn't sound like it (just want to be super extra careful), I'm really looking forward to APFS.
That guy who predicted t
Not for me (and most of us) since I will never buy airpods or use my phone for payments nor siri to schedule rides, seems gimmicky

Can someone tell more about new filesystem? How it's compared to present one in terms of security and performance?
Pretty sure it's not there. On the plus side you can now find your AirPods!
You can read a pretty good overview here: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/apfs-apple-file-system/
And if you want to get nerdy: ArsTechnica and Apple's official documentation.
I was thinking they would hold off until iOS 11 to show off APFS, didn't know it was already ready!

APFS?
It's happening.
It's happening.
I'm surprised too. But it's no surprise it's debuting on iOS. There's far fewer factors to consider.
This almost confirms a March event. Bet they hold off on adding the key features till a couple weeks out.
How to create a negative vibe for Apple: Launch a made-up rumour about a new feature in an upcoming OS update and watch the sighs of disappointment flooding in as the OS update is released and doesn't contain this feature.
I don't think that is what happened here (ie, the rumour wasn't completely made-up nor was it launched with malicious intent), but rather an example of how we can set up ourselves for some disappointment by investing (too much) hope into a rumour.
This will never happen. Apple doesn't want to store that data in the cloud at all for security reasons. It is done locally only.
It's not something that's in your face and would WOW 90% of users, whereas more emoji fits that criteria
Of course the new file system has better security and better performance. The better performance is in doing certain tasks. This is just in a general sense. You'd actually have to do some analysis of the OS and individual software running on the new system, versus the old, to quantify it. Some tasks could conceivably be slower depending on how the software was written. I have not seen any such analysis.
My gut is it won't make that much of a difference on iOS. I think it will make more of a difference, especially in performance, on macOS.
