ios 10 has been, by everything i've observed, an aggressively bad update

ios 6 was a step backwards in functionality in a few areas but still functional

ios 7 began the degradation of both visual usability and overall functionality

ios 8 built on the terrible choices of ios 7

ios 9 began the trend of degrading performance in addition to usability and functionality

ios 10 seems to be actively hostile to users in multiple ways, now including when the user wants to watch videos

i suspect ios 11 (if they call it that) will be the last ios overseen by tim

on my old mac i had a button on the side i could press and lights would light up to let me know how charged the battery was, this was extremely helpful when i was packing my bags or deciding what to charge in an airport i want it back

Is that an actual battery charge gauge or what the actual battery life is? My old Dell laptop had a button on the battery that I could press and it would show the actual health of the battery by how many LEDs lit up.

iOS 10.2 is very nice on my iPhone 7 Plus. Battery life seems to have improved and I like the new single signon for TV providers. Tim and Craig have done it again

I was playing with an xps 15 at best buy and it was unsurprisingly made I'd cheap creaky plastic. the hinge was so tight that if you try to open it with one hand, you just lift the whole laptop off the table. I don't know if this is better or worse than other laptops where it lifts partway before the bottom finally drops down slamming on the table. but I guess that's intentional since they didn't bother to design a lip into the front to actually grab it by, so you have to shove your fingernails in between the tiny gap to actually open it. the actual surprising thing is that anyone would recommend a Dell. I assume shaggar is just trolling at the point. even a surface book isn't that bad.

its not made of plastic

Why don't they just make a briefcase that only charges your 2016 macbook pro, and the briefcase doubles as a power bank, and you charge it with just a lightning plug. I swear to god they'll come up with something else that's just as stupid as that loving earbud case.

i imagine next year's ios devices will be shipping with the usb-c to lightning cable they already make.

it is strange that they are not including it with earpods tho

incidentally, the apple tv 4 has a usb-c port on it, but comes with a usb-a to lightning cable so you can even charge the remote with it

You know the correct car analogy is miles remaining. And every car made in the last 10 years does in fact perform this calculation that and adjusts the estimate in realtime as you change driving behavior and it is useful.
