As much as I want the 8 Plus as a camera, iOS 11 frustrations are quickly approaching the “fuck giving money to Apple this year” level.
Long wondered which draws more power—wired or bluetooth headphones. Well, assuming Apple chose to display the most advantageous measures, I guess wireless is more economical than even the phone’s speaker.

@sdw:
iPhone 8 day 2: phone vibrated itself slightly off the center of the charging pad overnight, so it didn’t get a full charge. Splendid.
On iPhone 6, Control Center doesn’t respond to touch for a full second as the music widget struggles to find out the current track’s title.
UPS guy just mentioned he’d made “almost no” Apple deliveries today- Says it’s odd as last year his truck was totally full of iPhone 7’s.
PUBG-Fortnite thing is sorta like Threes-2048, but if Threes devs already had to give the cloners a cut of their money in the first place
Using a Plus is renewing my annoyance at the impossibility for an app to change what it displays on a 5.5” via Auto Layout size classes.
My first Heat Signature character was soon “captured” (with a bullet, there was a lot of blood everywhere, but okay sure it’s sci-fi). My second character’s life goal slash loyalty mission is to free the first, who was his life partner, so basically I’ve been guilt-tripped into playing the game forever* now, well done.
* Actually, now that I’m writing this, I’m curious what happens when I “kill” the second character — does the chain end, or were they poly?
I’d still rather finish Prey before I get Death of the Outsider but today’s Crate & Crowbar is weakening my resolve.

Weird cognitive dissonance that I have a yay-new-toy but it isn’t more powerful than the old toy and doesn’t run all the new AR apps either.
Safari 11 on Mac still beachballs for 30 seconds when loading a random news site in a background tab. Oh, I’d love not to use Chrome.
Storyboards have existed for six years and I still can’t tell Interface Builder “this subview should segue into that subview” like in any UI prototyping app 😤
Apple Watch’s new heart rate features won’t work on the original Watch model [theverge.com] via @Verge
Why does iOS 11’s lock screen screw up iOS 11’s new backgrounds? This absurd transition effect irks me every time I turn on my iPhone.
Never been double-rejected before—because of “Free” in the name (knew the risk) and old unused icon-Default.png not matching App Store icon.

Swapped iPhones with a friend, my 6 for his 6 Plus, and why did I resist the Plus form factor for so long? It’s so roomy!
I suppose I ought to push an unmodified update to Music Rating Widget because some people won’t buy it without a september 2017 build date.
Looks like that’s because I set the alarm on the Watch, so it was Watch-only (that wasn’t the case before, was it?), so Siri didn’t see it.
WTF, Siri hadn’t been stupid about this for several iOS versions (only one of these is actually enabled)
I mean one billion dollars must be a decent runway but there’s no future in historically being the first company to ship Valve’s technology.

There’s finally a reason to prune my Watch’s list of installed apps. (3D-Touch the honeycomb to switch.)
The strange thing about iOS 11 on the iPad is that it makes the iPhone feel like it’s a version behind.

Biggest stealth change in iOS 11 is that the Camera app can now read QR codes. About 6 years late, but they’ll probably see use in US now.
“Use @available to silence this warning”
The syntax for @available is ungooglable and I can’t find it in the docs 😒
Does Xcode’s “Convert to ARC” detect possible retain cycles? Because if it doesn’t… I sure as hell aren’t gonna. 🤷🏻♂️
Currently updating an app exactly one year too late, since the last few dozen users have all uninstalled it by now
Especially considering that my iPad mini is as old as my iPhone 6, but with no likely replacement in sight 😔

BEFORE UPDATING TO IOS 11: Go to “Settings > General > About > Applications”. Verify you can live without incompatible apps listed there.

There is a scene, one third of the way into Ancillary Justice, where the protagonist and narrator explains her goals and motivations to another character. That scene takes place off-page, and the reader will only begin to learn that information another hundred pages later. This is only the most egregious example; there are tons of details that the author only explains fifty pages too late.
I’ve read a lot of science-fiction and I’m perfectly fine with the “figure it out yourself” style of world-building, but this is different — this is trying to be Lost or Westworld, deliberate opaque, ostensibly hiding things from the audience. And that’s fine on TV but it doesn’t work at all, for me, in a book told in the first person; that just makes the narrator incredibly obnoxious.
Still, the book and its story are pretty clever, you have to love how much attention it pays to subtext and subtly expressed emotions, and the portrayal of One Esk is well thought-out and interesting. But I don’t remember ever being so annoyed at a book I couldn’t put down.
Je suis en train de rénover mon portfolio et, paf, j’ai envie de refaire une version compatible iOS 11 de Tarot Royal 🤦🏻♂️

Looks like you can have your app respond gracefully to ‘Smart Invert’ but not the launch screen? For now at least.
Why isn’t ‘Smart Invert’ in the Control Center? Why does iOS 11 make it customizable but only offer the bare minimum of options?
I don’t think I would have liked Scanner Sombre much as a flat game, but it makes for an excellent VR experience.
Three years too late, it looks like iOS 11 finally keeps third-party keyboards in memory after their first load.
Instagram displays a small (probably too discreet, even) prompt to use the share functionality when you screenshot a post 👍👍👍

Apple’s docs now store language choice in the URL instead of a cookie 🙄 so a Google search will always send you to the default Swift 😠
Why do you still ask me to enter separate version + build numbers only to throw an error afterwards if they differ
I can’t be bothered to fine-tune the location of the buttons and app title, but at least the notch looks fine on a textured background
Every time I have to update my apps for a new iOS version it’s a unpleasant reminder that I used to consider myself an app developer.

If I play Death of the Outsider now I will definitely never ever finish Prey. (Instead of the 50/50 chance it currently stands at.)
Eek yeah okay good bye IPAs (FYI the new iTunes won’t automatically delete them, which is reasonable in case you still want them)
And I love how you can customize Control Center for quick access to anything you like except the only way to toggle Night Shift is now a compulsory long press.
Remember when they finally updated Control Center so you could change the brightness while seeing what it would look like in the active app?

@ow:
IKEA’s Augmented Reality app is such a great demo of ARKit. Going to be huge (and avoid awkward furniture mistakes)
I’m curious how long I can play this (both in terms of locomotion and shooting realistic humans in VR).
I was skeptical about Face ID but Apple’s implementation convinced me. (Kinect in a phone!)
I was cautiously optimistic about the notch but Apple’s implementation disgusts me.
😖
But it’s not like we have a choice when Apple won’t sign iOS 10, let alone push iOS 10 security updates, on devices compatible with iOS 11 😒
Even though both of my devices are just the right age to receive the new iOS and be made worse by installing it.
I should be working but instead I’m finally installing iOS 11 because the urge to have something new is irresistible post-keynote.
The iPhone X home indicator isn’t a solid color; it actually adapts in realtime to the content beneath it (a luma dodge effect)
This was my reaction to the Apple Maps UI as well. Double grabber looks odd. [twitter.com]
Looking forward to people that buy a $1,000 iPhone telling me it’s terrible to charge $2.99 for a game on the App Store.
Given the integration I’m seeing, I’d have to say yes, Facebook will be able to read your face gestures while you read your newsfeed.
You’re redefining the iPhone from scratch; why cling to the external aspect ratio instead of making the device easier to handle?
Of all the iPhone X design choices I disagree with, the one I don’t understand is why make it so tall.
It bums me out that I’m probably gonna have to update some of my apps to accommodate the stupid notch on the stupid 1200€ phone.
WTF we’re not even allowed to resist [twitter.com]
Watch now! 14 new developer videos released by Apple, teaching iPhone X, face tracking, and more: [developer.apple.com] #swiftlang
Really curious to see if anyone buys an iPhone before iPhone X is available. I’ll say it again, this launch seems completely crazy to me.
“Look at it, swipe up” doesn’t really sound like it’s simpler and quicker than pressing the Home button, does it.
Interesting to see Schiller acknowledge outright that Face ID won’t work for twins, when Microsoft’s face recognition has been touted as differentiating them in most cases. (Of course, “most cases” is problematically vague.)
It’s completely absurd that they worked so much on iPhone 8 only to immediately supplant it with iPhone X. A simple 7s upgrade would have made sense; not a completely redesign.
With an A10X the Apple TV could really offer some serious gaming experiences. If anyone ever bought it for that.
I would have expected the LTE model to be about $100 more. Being on a Series 0 I’m possibly curious about upgrading.
