No. But that's no surprise tbh. Waiting for the iPhone 7s or X. Good bye iPhone 5!
While the functionality aspects of the customizable screen are interesting at best, not a fan of this UI design at all.
Hey! Hadn't noticed till you mentioned it, lol. Wonder what the rational was to revert to bars again.
The iOS 11 updates are fantastic. They did things I hoped for (drag and drop, better Control Center) and things I never saw coming (Files - depending on how it is implemented, selection of multiple app icons at the same time). Great WWDC. I'm still processing everything.
glad you can store messages in icloud...not glad that they didn't increase the free icloud storage tier
Funny, I've said the same thing about all the thin and light fonts.
A not so subtle rebranding to say "hey, we're back and making an impression!". First time in years that I'm even a little excited after an Apple announcement. FINALLY a lot of updates. Most of which should have been done years ago.
Software, hardware AND attitude.
Where are all the "doomed, doomed, doomed" nahsayers now? What are they going to whinge about? There seems to be something for almost everybody this year.
Even the speaker that's coming: looks simple, hides complexity. Almost like the Apple approach of years ago! Fingers crossed it sounds good.
Pretty disappointed they still don't do live previews when scrubbing a video using the Video app. Very useful when trying to look for a scene in a movie or TV show. It's already system-wide on the Apple TV and every other major video streaming service does it already too. Hope this is added before the final release.
Really, is it that bad for you? I reckon it is 95+% these days. WAAAAAAAY better than when it was introduced. If you only get 29% then perhaps your typing is an issue?
People just like to joke about it and the reality is different. Even Maps isn't as bad as when it was released. That was a clear cock up that should have been stopped before rollout. Everyone makes mistakes...
Problem w/ force touch is that it is a hidden function. To my mind it would be helpful if there was some indicator (perhaps to be turned on/off in settings, maybe something like an outline around possible targets) that would show the user that there is a force touch feature available.
Those new music controls on the lockscreen do my head in. They also do not seem to support cover art of third party music apps and once u listened to music that ugly control panel doesnt seem to go away from te lockscreen? Juck
And why is everything so damn bold with a lack of transparency yet its not everywhere and isnt there an option for those "blind people" in the settings anyway?

I think primitive scrubbing and generally weak features in the iOS video app drives customers out of iTunes and into the arms of competitors with better video players.
Also plea could improve the experience here.
The truth is, people complained about it being on two pages, even tech blogs complained. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
To be fair, people and tech blogs have complained about all kinds of things for years which are still there (or aren't there, depending on the complaint). Hard to say how much of an impact it all has or can have.
Already hate the bold font in Apple Music. Please don't use it system wide. It's ugly.
