Tim Cook Calls Today's Launch of iOS 11 and ARKit 'A Day To Remember'

Yes Tim, we will remember having to wait 2 years for a meaningful iOS update as the multitasking and dock element improvements to the iPad are great but the iPhone really goes from 10.3 to 10.5. iOS 11 for the iPhone is nothing to write home about. Certainly not to "remember". The opportunity to make iOS 11 and iPhone X have a significant UI impact has been passed over in favor of patting yourself on the back and over sensationalizing a whole lot of nothing. Force/3D Touch is underwhelmingly utilized system wide.
I doubt Cook even knows all the features and details of iOS 11, he is so far removed from product, spends all him time with finance penny pinching
I'll wait until developers actually create something worthwhile with it before I plunk more money on hardware, Tim.
Potential and accomplishment are very different. I learned from the iPad's evolution that a new concept can take years to mature and deliver on its promise. The iPad is finally getting abilities that should have been possible years ago. Indeed, the iPhone X is labeled the iPhone of the future. Early adopters of the iPhone X will probably regret their rush once the novelty of animoji wanes.
You want people to remember the iOS 11 release date? Charge $999 for it too 
That could work. He already said "huge" and "unbelievable", just throw in a couple of "tremendous" and he'll be in the running for 2020.
I've been running the beta but the way they're talking you'd swear half or over half of the features have been hidden... Not substantially different in some ways and other things I expected to see are so well hidden you can't find them anymore.
Springboard is 10 years old. New iPhone X. Could have introduced us to the future and next decade of UI. Oh wait, Craig and all the other tool executives at Apple don't have a real whip master punishing them for laziness. Instead they come up with trivial nonsense and then introduce it in a grandiose way to over hype it. They've gone glacial in their development to milk the users.
This entire first page has been very negative to the point of the comical (Tim's not *that* bad guys), but I have to hand it to you, the Vader reference gave me a good chuckle.
I believe it may be slightly thicker than the current President's...
iOS 11 is the first update I'm skipping entirely...
Between the lack of support for 32-bit apps, and the guaranteed hit to performance/speed, there's literally no compelling reason to upgrade.

Amen. They couldn't deliver two practical features that would preserve Apple's reputation for elegant UX. Add to that, their set back with the new MacOS file system and the Fusion drives they heavily promoted. Apple is so desperate to be a part of the future, that they're neglecting the present.
What are you talking about down payment? I have never put any money down on a new iPhone. I am part of the Verizon Device Payment Plan, and I continue paying the same amount every year when I either give my former phone back or sell it and pay it off.
HAHAHAHAHAHA LMFAO LOLOLOLOL
I guess this was meant to be a joke and it worked....I laughed, thank you
