Leaked iOS 11 GM Reveals iPhone 8 Features, Hints at LTE Apple Watch

[Appleaker]

Very cool to have confirmation of features and new features leaked. I really hope that you can press the bar to act as a home button but that’s unlikely. As I expected, the power button has some home button functionality.

One thing I would have liked to see is the original iPhone Clownfish wallpaper as an option.

Is there nothing left we won't know about next Tuesday??

Which color shirt Tim will be wearing.

Official price and official name, from the looks of it.

The new wallpapers are nice.

Tim Cook was wearing an Apple Watch with celular since the original Apple Watch

They'd have to either be a killer feature or they'd have to start removing Apple Pay when not in iPhone range on non LTE watches to encourage me to upgrade. I use Apple Pay in the pool side cafe which isn't in range of my iPhone and always wondered if at some point they'd want to use data for extra security checking. I wonder if they will do 2 options, an LTE enabled and non LTE enabled option like the iPad?

You would think so, would be silly not to. At some point the previous gen watches (without any support for LTE) will be phased out, can't see you having to have an LTE plan to own an Apple Watch going forward.

Could not make some colorful motorcycle, machine, robot ot tank , for the dudes ? Enough with the flowers and butterflies!

Is your masculinity so fragile that a flowery wallpaper threatens you?!?

Bad isn't it.

The problem for Apple is that these days software is leaking to the same degree (if not worse) than hardware.
That can't be blamed on suppliers, that is coming from their end.

They have a point. Little girls like flowers and rainbows. Boys like death. Nothing new here

 

[Apple_Robert]

Build number is 15A372

 

[Macalway]

Considering the likely severe supply shortage.....who cares about a leak?

You could say the same for almost every wallpaper, I mean in terms of branding and the announcement, but it’s not a big deal since they have the Earth wallpaper instead.

Ever since the thread asking if girls would date a guy who use a red iphone surfaced... you can pretty much assume anyone posting on this forum is a fragile snowflake.

 

[Apple_Robert]

iOS 11 GM also has new tones.

PLEASE let this be the end of "Press Home to Unlock" on my iPod touch... I'm always paranoid I'll wear out the home button really fast like this. (I actually waited a long while to install iOS 10)

RIP all 32 bit apps. All the ORIGINAL apps for the iPhone like Super Monkey Ball, Glyder, Rolando.. It is depressing.. I never did finish the latter two.

Now everything is just freemium crap, as well as Apple Music with it's subscription model killing the iPod. 'Tis a shame.

 

[TheSkywalker77]

Technology is advancing so quickly. I never thought Apple would remove the home button and bezels completely.

 

[Mactendo]

These wallpapers make flat iOS UI look poor and amateurish.
Great wallpapers.

View attachment 716500 Interesting that the night-time satellite image shows a hurricane hitting Florida. It's obviously an older photo, but remarkable regardless

Hurricanes have an eye. That's just a standard cloud formation.

So the keynote, as always, is nothing more than a checklist to see which rumors are true.

As for me, I'm firmly going the 7S+ route. I like my bezels and my home button, thank you very much.

As for an updated watch, I'll definitely see what ATT offers.

As for updated AirPods, meh. I barely use the ones I have.

My two cents.

 

[MH01]

Spec bump for the iPhone SE hopefully. Best value for money, unless the 7S drops in price, though I suspect the 7S will be the same price and 8 hitting laptop pricing .

The Apple Watch will be added to an existing phone plan, and there are hints that carriers will offer pricing promotions.

Anything more than "included in plan" is too much. I know some carriers charge $10 for a smart watch. Utter rip off. The idea of an LTE watch is interesting. The prospect of spending even an extra $5/mo on it is nauseating. I'm so done with all these already overpriced subscriptions nibbling away at my income. Hard pass.

Apparently, this will be how the notification bar looks on the iPhone Notch

Agreed. My watch is rarely if ever away from the phone.
