Apple Introduces New "Do Not Disturb while Driving" Feature for iPhone

This is especially important if you want to make sure Apple isn't downgrading a feature you use every day or changing how it works dramatically. A developer preview of the new operating system is now available, and a public beta for iOS users is set for release later this month. If you're in it just to get iOS 11, provide your Apple ID and some basic information about yourself, and pay the membership fee of $99 per year. The new 10.5-inch model reduces the borders by almost 40 percent to fit into an incredibly compact package that still weighs just one pound.

The iOS 11 update for the firm's phones and tablets was announced on Tuesday at its developer conference and includes an automatic feature to silence phones when the user is driving.

A note of caution, though: since you'll have an early version of iOS 11, you'll face bugs that are more than the minor annoyances you're used to on stable versions of iOS.

For those that require something a bit more substantial and functional, there is also a Leather Sleeve for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

Apple finally updated the Mac Pro, most powerful Mac ever
Before you throw down more than $1,000, the big question is whether or not it's worth upgrading if you already have an iMac . You start of with Intels Iris iGPU, which still offers up to 80% increased performance over the previous generation.

Apple's iOS 11 mobile operating system will not be available for the iPhone 5 and 5C or the iPad 4 when it is released in the autumn.

iMessages continue to be one of the biggest iPhone and iPad features that Apple offers.

Being able to touch the back of the iPhone to accessories and establish a Bluetooth connection, for example, is one benefit of NFC capabilities Android users have long had access to. As an added bonus, iOS 11 testers say Apple is finally letting users play GIF animations natively in the Photos app. You'd have to open QuickTime Player and go through about 10 different steps before you could get even the most basic video of yourself using the device.

Additionally, Apple is also working with other virtual reality companies, such as Unity Technologies and Epic Games, bringing their VR tools to the Mac. This allows you to keep all of your iMessage and Text conversations in sync across your devices using iCloud. This could be identifying large Messages threads, offloading unused apps when your device is low on space, or reviewing and deleting large file attachments.
