Article was pulled. Not surprised.
The latest technology brings you stereo sound. (but probably no midrange)
Do you have a source for this? How do you know today's release has messages in iCloud?
Will Sonos wirelessly let me listen to the soundtrack of videos (YouTube, etc) I watch on my Mac desktop and laptop computers?
Wonder if it's like that Saturday night 11.2 release to get ahead of a bug or security issue that's due to become public.
Some people will always complain about battery. We could be on iOS 58 and there will still be complaints....
The battery posts will stop when Apple invests in bigger/better batteries for the phone....

I’ll be almost disappointed if iMessage in iCloud is released.
I’d like to think that 5 years from now, it’ll still be in beta.
Sort of like a mascot for iOS and macOS.
It’ll be familiar and reassuring when it’s pulled after beta 3 of every public beta.
One of those things that grounds you in an uncertain world.

Literally the ONLY reason they did this was not to look outright stupid next week at the Keynote..

As someone who's been on the 11.4 beta gravy train the entire time solely for the purpose of stereo HomePods... I'll believe this when I see it.
I don't really get what's so exciting about Airplay 2. Could someone explain it to me? I have a couple Sonos products and I've noticed a lot of Sonos owners are excited for it too. Don't see how it'll operate any differently with Airplay 2 than it currently does
Yes, in a couple weeks when Apple brings them on board along with a bunch of other 3rd party vendors.
