I've heard so little about what could be coming for iOS 11 that I'm actually excited to see what's in store next week. All I can even remember is enabling system wide dark mode.

Little over an hour. I think what I'm most excited for is Amazon and Apple finally playing nice with one another.
 
Actually watching one of these live for once.

The only actual "leak" was the "Files" app being on the App Store last night.
 
yup, Apple and Amazon are friends now.

Let's see how many gyms actually update their equipment to make use of the new Apple Watch info sharing thing.

Siri updates are pretty weak tbh.

Payment-to-payment using Apple Pay in iMessage announced too.

New control center for iOS 11. 3D Touch enabled.

New notification screen which is your lock screen when you swipe down from your home screen and a swipe up shows more notifications.

They pretty much added a few effects into the photos app for live photos, one of them being that Instagram boomerang effect.

Spending way too much time on stickers. lmao

Completely redesigned app store. Kind of looks like Apple Music.

Done with iOS 11 and onto the iPad now... no wonder there were no leaks regarding iOS 11, **** was weak. No FaceTime update, no dark mode, redesigned control center which looks pretty ugly and cluttered, notification center somehow taking a step back...

I'm at work today but I did read a new design to the control center and not much for Car Play. That's disappointing. Car Play might have made or broke if I stayed with Apple or went back to android. I have the IPad Pro but I think my next phone might be in the android ecosystem.

Was looking at picking up an iPad Pro. Waited till today to see the new one. Really want the 9.7 inch, so still not sure what to do. Decisions....
 
Multi-caller FaceTime and dark mode for iOS has been asked for a few versions now, and still they're ignored.

Same here. I will wait until it comes up in stores to see how it feels, given it is a bit larger.
 
No more volume controls taking up the whole screen anymore, at least!

EDIT: it's only for videos, so... progress, I guess?
 
Thanks for the summary of updates. It feels like things have sort of plateaued with Apple. And that's okay, I guess. As long as they don't mess with iTunes Match, I'll be sticking around.

Hopefully the big news comes in the fall. I want some sort of VR for the next iPhone. Seriously envious of Samsung owners that get all the fun.
 
Dark mode is in iOS 11, it just wasn't announced

Nope.

One feature that tops many wish lists every year is dark mode, but alas, another iteration have iOS has been unveiled without such feature. One thing that is new, however, is a “Smart invert†accessibility feature that turns the iOS interface dark, but doesn’t affect things such as photos and videos. This feature, however, is more aimed helping accessibility rather than a so-called dark mode feature.

Anyone ever buy refurbished from the apple store? Pros and cons? Looking at a series 1 apple watch...
 
Latest renderings (not a leak) of what is expected with the 8. Most reports lately are going with putting the Touch ID in the screen. Other reports are also saying that mass production of components have started, so genuine leaks should start within the next month or 2.

I've purchased a refurbished MBA from Apple. I saved a little bit and it was in perfect condition.

I went that way because it was a couple hundred dollars more then what people were selling them second hand. Plus dealing with second hand sellers can be a pain.

I hope this isn't the design. That top bezel/screen cutout looks horrible to me. I'd rather have a traditional bezel.

I think it looks awesome. The extra space in the corners fits the battery and signal indicators.
 
Apple really killed it at WWDC. Loved all the new stuff, too bad I don't have the budget to get any of it.

Hate it. Very ugly. If Touch ID is on the front though, I'm buying it.

Kill it with fire, the camera cutout reminds me too much of the Essential phone or the flat tire on the Moto 360 or Fossil smartwatches.

Better off just putting the bezel through to the corners.
