So you still have to click 8 times to disable the low battery mode which is by far the most frequently needed thing to toggle?

$49 ($52.55 after tax) is a lot of money for a watch band that will send the wrong message, since I'm not gay, but I think it's a financial burden I am willing to bear.

QR CODE SUPPORT
QR codes aren’t nearly as big in America as they are in other parts of the world, and so Apple has been able to skate by without natively supporting QR codes for a while now. But it looks like the company’s finally changing that by adding QR code support to, likely, the native camera app in iOS 11. Finally — no more bothering with third-party apps once a year when you need to scan a QR code.

Native QR code support in the camera API has existed forever they just left it out of their own UI to force people to download/buy one of hundreds of ad-laden and information stealing jank ones from the App Store.

They should just put it in because it's not possible to defend its exclusion while they have over the years added tons of excessive gimmicky widgets and Instagram filters to the native camera app.

the only time i scanned a qr code has been at conventions where you scan the badge of people who visit your booth to get their contact info. in 2017, it feels like an awkward shibboleth, like if we were still "bumping" to trade business cards

as an unironic fan of onenote and pens and the surface line i like the ipad pro more and more

also, yeah, qr codes are big in some places, so adding proper support really is just pragmatic

no one in their right mind will spend five thousand dollars on an imac pro though

this but unironically for normal, lazy, or high/drunk people. it's a good mechanism if you give user to preview what will happen, and don't pull an anroid with killer qr codes

I'm confused. Is there a new iPad Pro 12.9"? Or is it still the same one that has been out for a while. (Yes I know the 10" one is new)

If so, how was the screen improved? OLED? Higher-res? Both?

all in all, 100% of all rumors were true once again and ios now has a file manager because why not?

oh. New internals isn't a big deal to me. I can't imagine needing the original iPad Pro to be faster. What does 120hz on an LCD do though? I thought that was just TV marketing bullshit and most people turned it off?

edit: it looks like it helps mostly with the Pencil from what I can tell

Did they only add the anti-reflective coating on the new ones? Or did the old ones have it too?
