The only mac exclusive audio program is Garageband which is fail garbage.

garageband is pretty great and logic x is excellent for writing/arranging. apple's keyboard/synth sounds are fantastic

removing the headphone jack from the next iphone is stupid, but ultimately will not impact anyone's lives in a meaningful way.

In what ways is the new music player more functional?

navigating to playlists/artists etc is in big text on the home screen, don't remember exactly where it was before but it was easy to fat finger and go to the wrong place

also "recently added" is on the home screen and not as easy to miss as before

touchid was a canary in the coal mine

hyped beyond belief, functionally broken and unable to be corrected, and then shoved into every device whether it was appropriate or not

it worked pretty well for unlocking your phone before they broke it imo

anyone else having alarm issues since updating to iOS 11? before if my ringer was off (which it always is) the alarm still sounded at full volume. now it only vibrates if the ringer is switched off. I go into work at slightly different times each day so I've come to rely on it. cool!
