Because it won't work for those who haven't upgraded their devices for a couple of years. I'll be honest, i was kind of excited about the ruler feature when it was demoed. But then I learned iphone 6 is too old a device to support arkit. Yes, two years is all takes for an apple processor to go from he fastest thing in he world that can compete with a laptop to a turtle. Meanwhile my haswell laptop is still able to do everything a modern CPU does...
Arrgh! Nay, September 19th is already well remembered as Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Be careful what you ask for. This is 2017 Apple we’re talking about. If they did do a complete redesign of iOS then they’ll most likely f*ck it up and we’ll be complaining as such.
Maybe Tim and Apple should focus on making great software instead of worrying about climate change and where people pee.

Typical Tim Cook likes the media attention. Later on he will probably remembered as the guy who killed Apple.
I've been running OS11 for awhile, but haven't had any of these issues. I guess YMMV
Jesus, this guy is just an android. Everything he spews out is backed up with "unbelievable", "incredible", "amazing" "it's huge"... WTH?
I'm holding off for a bit.
They somehow always dick up the Bluetooth settings and my phone can never work in my car until around update #3.
Is tvOS update going live today?

Apple is, was, and always will be Steve Jobs.
Well, I’m one of those that are likely paying full pop if I want the IPx. A legacy plan with my carrier that, if I wanted to get an up front subsidy, means 30% more for the same service, plus the monthly instalment on a phone. In the end the phone is the same overall cost to me regardless, interest free loan or not. So, it’s upgrade the plan and lock myself in a contract for 2 years at a much higher rate or buy outright.
We don’t have a situation in Canada where you can upgrade every year through the carrrier program.
Regardless of my situation, him using the term “value” is walking a very narrow line when you’re talking about something that costs over $1k Usd, when there are devices that can do 90% of the functions of this one, for 50% less or more, including phones currently in the Apple lineup itself.

...oh hang on, it's not available do we have to wait for Americans to wake up before we can install iOS 11? How very dare we
The developers are to blame for this, not Apple. They were notified a while back that this was coming. Changing an app to 64 bit is really, really simple most of the time. When the developer stops being lazy, and makes this change, you'll have your app back.
It usually starts a wide rollout at 10 AM Pacific Time, so it's not available for anyone yet.
Why do I even go to the MacRumors forums? Every topic is full of whining, hate and trolls. Used to be a decent source of information. Now it's just a hangout for trolls.
Of course this is just a threadcrap full of whining about the whiners......

I just really want to know, after reading all of the comments so far:
What in the hell do you actually want your phones to do?!
I'm sure there is technology that will still be forthcoming but all too often I see someone complaining about "innovation this" "cutting edge that". When will you all realize that Apple is right along with these other companies when it comes to innovative features, and their goal is to differentiate by marketing an experience? Other companies come out with other tactics (Samsung and edge to edge display etc). Stop getting your feelings hurt by a marketing campaign! Their claim to fame is making products that work seamlessly within their ecosystem, thereby making the user experience better. Anyone who owns more than just one Apple product can see this. People want different icons, wallpapers, etc just to feel like they have an "updated" software. It's a shame.
Most of us use phones for dialing, taking pictures, social media, and music. ALL manufacturers have mastered this to some extent now. Now they're just trying to see what grabs your attention the first 1-2 months of owning the phone before you go back to using it how you would normally (as I described before).
To people complaining about the price, there are phones (iPhones, Androids, etc) that are cheaper, that have similar capabilities. Go buy those and SHUT UP.
Your phone isn't going to make you breakfast, wash your body, feed you, drive you, make you more productive, etc. just because it's $1,000. Sheesh.

Agreed, Apple has a great opportunity to modernize the UI with the X, but just adding clunky new gestures feels more like yet another bandage for an awkwardly missing button.
Remember when you could pick up and iPhone or iPad and just use it because all the controls were so natural and intuitive?
My god the human suffering. Forced to adoption t the new IOS 11 against your will. How can Tim Cook be so cruel.
Oh wait.....you don't have to update the software if you don't want to. Still using so many 32 bit apps the developers are too cheap or lazy to update.
Don't load IOS 11. Keep using your 32 bit apps. Just suffer with no AR......dah.
