Being that length of membership is not indicative of post count, knowledge of Apple products or familiarity with XenForo, I don't quite understand how a length of membership statement is beneficial.
Got a tip for us?

It's nice to know if a person has been here 10 years or 10 minutes.
i think the joining date was useful and location adds some info or color.
mouseover should also make the info appear, so one can quickly scan the info without having to click and unclick.
if the other side is to gain a bit more of compactness, though, I am all for it.
that said, there is more wasted space in other 'places', which are more in the way, like the REPORT button and the list of like names

I don't feel that join date or location are useful, I've turned off location for myself (at least I think I did). I do feel that the Edit and Report buttons should be moved over to the right with the Like, Quote and Reply buttons.
i already posted this into the other thread, but i think something like the format below would be preferable and would provide more compactness.
the EDIT button would be next to the REPLY in your own posts, the names of the likes would appear
on mouseover and/or clicking the likes number badge
I quite like the way you've done the Likes button. And, I feel the text should be replaced with icons in all of those buttons, it would help to make button dimensions more uniform.
You have my vote

and it's a circle!!!!
as far as the cosmetics of the avatars, can the border of the circle be eliminated so people who likes their avatar of another shape can use the same background color and mimic transparency?
All in all, I think the new layout is a big improvement using my iPad and iPhone. I haven't used it on my Mac yet. I particularly like the narrower width and the larger font size.
I have a request and an observation or two:
It would be cool if you could add a comment to a like for all to see. I suggest that you keep your display of likes as it is—it gives a nice personalisation to see three names plus others—but add a number for the likes. When you tap/click on it, it lists the names with any comments they might have added. Perhaps with a 100 character limit. Give the OP the ability to delete them if necessary. And have the comments for likes listed in the member's history of Likes.
As to the layout—I think there's a bit too much going on at the bottom of each post. My suggestion is to amalgamate the date stamp row with the buttons row. That may make it neater and more compact. Less scrolling and simpler.
Regarding the buttons—I think that the like and the reply button are the most used. The Tools and the multi-quote must be much less used. Therefore, I would suggest putting the like and reply buttons together either at the left or the right. I can see the logic of having the reply and multi-quote together, though. So either Tools, Multi, Reply, Like or Like, Reply, Multi, Tools.

The avatar in forum posts looks horrible. See attachments (click to enlarge).
Please increase the resolution of the avatar!

I'm with this one, if it's possible at all.
Retina avatars would certainly be nice, as would bringing back the Retina smilies.
If that means, a MacRumors service automatically copying third party/remote content that may be subject to copyright:
- creation in that way may be inappropriate.
please change/add to the view of a thread so that the latest comments are at the top and the original at the bottom. A nuisance having to go backwards when you follow the the thread.

Can we get this back? It was very helpful to have the original poster labeled on their replies throughout a thread. I keep having to scroll back to the top to view who started to thread to keep an eye on the context of the conversation.
Thank you Sorry if I am just missing it somewhere else!

Some suggestions.
Switch to square avatars. Our members disliked them and we immediately switched back.
The user info on the left of posts is too big. I'd condense it by about 50px.
Have Audentio convert this style to a dark one as well so members have the option of a light and a dark style.

It would be nice to have that back. (And similarly an indicator for your own posts within a thread as well.)[OP label for posts by OP gone?]

"Being that length of membership is not indicative of post count" says it all. I definitely think the join date should be shown, for some it's a much more important attribute to know about a user than the number of posts.
It shows if you are a forum youngster or old timer. And it makes it easy to spot questionable first posts.
I agree that length of membership and location are valuable information. I appreciate hiding them to preserve vertical space, which is necessary with this transition, but perhaps they could be reinstated with the avatar size reduced to compensate? I feel as if that info is of more importance than the avatar.
The Bold, italics, and underline buttons don't always click on and off to represent they are selected or not- iPad issue. (Added to first post 4Jun by Huntn.)
