The news was announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference as one of a suite of features in the company's new mobile operating system, iOS11. The new iPad Pro comes with a 10.5-inch screen that offers a refresh rate of 120Hz and which Apple describes as "the best display on the planet". While Apple obviously chose to focus on iOS 11's key additions during its WWDC 2017 keynote presentation, there are also some things eliminated by iOS 11 that many users are bound to be upset about.

From June 2018, all new apps submitted to the Mac app store will need to support 64-bit, and from June 2018 updates to existing apps must also be 64-bit compatible. Another feature of this app will be to display the files on one's other iOS devices, iCloud Drive, and also on third-party apps like Dropbox.

Other features include Do Not Disturb While Driving for iPhone which will detect when a person may be driving and silence notifications, keeping the device dark in the process as well as being able to send money to friends and family via Apple Pay. Now Amazon's new app lets Prime members search and browse Amazon products and make purchases directly through their Fire TV remote, according to TechCrunch. The new male and female Siri voices sound more natural.

Most states ban cellphone use by new drivers, but only 14 have rules against all drivers using hand-held devices.

The Penguins couldn't have responded much better to losses in Game 3 and Game 4, where they scored a combined two goals. Rinne made six saves on nine shots, while Juuse Saros , making his second career playoff appearance, stopped 12 shots.

Software updates are being rolled out across all systems and are expected to land in the summer, with the new macOS High Sierra boasting virtual reality support and improved graphics, as well as improvements to Safari, Mail and split view capabilities.

Siri will also be the recipient of several upgrades, including the ability to translate text and an automatic "Do Not Disturb" mode while driving. Siri will be enabled with translation and personal DJ features.

Firstly Maps. Using Apple Maps for navigation is possible even when the phone is locked. That means older applications that haven't been updated in years will no longer be able to run on iPhones and iPads with iOS 11 installed.
