I've been using the beta for a few months now. Overall I'm pretty impressed. It really does make my phone work better than before.

But I'm most excited about Waze support on CarPlay, which does not appear to have dropped today.

For iCloud Drive, we should be able to manage which files are saved locally and which aren’t. As is, documents can be manually downloaded but there’s no way to reverse it and have the given documents stored back only in the cloud (freeing up local storage). Then magically a week or more later stuff is uploaded and no longer stored locally. It feels fickle and frustrating.

It's been a lond time, but I read that you can add specific suffixes to folder names to control syncing.

I think it was ".nosync" and ".tmp"

The moderators of this website (dang being one of them) do and the site guidelines are very clear on this point.

I don't know, I've watched the keynote, and it just looked to me like Allison was right in saying that the company without Steve Jobs would go down.

Pretty considerably and pretty quickly, too, IMO.

I was hoping to see some Siri improvements but unfortunately nothing major there.

It does seem like they fixed the issue where Siri would give you snarky replies when it misunderstand you, but that’s about it.
