Quick Takes: iOS 11.4 Confirmed, Apple Watch Trade-Up Program Expands, and More

[The Game 161]

didn#t know you could trade in your old apple watch and buy a series 3.

So it wouldn't surprise me if this year the new iPhones launched with iOS 11.4 rather than iOS 12.

Whether they call it 11.4 or 12 is ultimately a marketing decision. Calling it 12 has the benefit of sounding more exciting, whereas 11.4 might give users more assurance that it's a quality refinement. It has no real bearing either way on whether they do actually forego some feature additions in favor of quality improvements.

And when 10.6 Snow Leopard launched with "no new features", it wasn't called 10.5.5 or 10.5.9 — it was still treated as a major Mac OS X upgrade despite being marketed as mostly a refinement.

So the education price of the pencil is almost half the cost of the new education-priced iPad? That seems a little imbalanced...

85.00 is half of 326.00?

iOS 11.3 should appear anytime this week, unless a new beta shows up instead.

...in other news, the UK price of the Pencil has dropped to £89.00 from the previous 99.00 (from the previous 79.00 on it's initial release!).

(dunno if the education price of it's lower, AFAICT it's behind a .edu email only firewall, so...? )

But it’s been in 11.3 beta..

It was also in the betas for iOS 11.0.

How pointless!

Apple Watch Trade up? I've not heard of that before but I sold my 14 month old Series 0 Sport for $140 on eBay recently, I think I netted around $120.

How pointless!

Its just a polite way of saying they are not interested in reselling your device. No reason to be offended, just sell it on eBay. I would recommend doing so before AW4 comes out.

Serenity of iMore posted about the iBook thing, and she posted in her same Twitter feed about an Apple Store with a view. Where is this Store??
