Probably easier to do anti-fingerprinting on such a homogenous group of devices.
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.

Apps need to wait until the general release before they can push updates through the App Store.
Yeah I assumed I'd need to use Testflight, but it's not even there yet.
“Apple believes privacy is a fundamental human right, which is why iOS has always been designed with built-in encryption, on-device intelligence, and other tools that let you share what you want on your terms.” It isn’t often that you see any company the size of Apple take that strong of a stance. Privacy is their best feature and it seems like they are doubling down.
My guess is that Apple is positioning themselves for an inevitable future where privacy is taken a bit more seriously or at least legislated against. While this seems far fetched right now in the United States with the Google ad monopoly, I think it will eventually come after some form of catastrophic leak (from some user data harvesting conglomerate) involving politicians or other powerful figures. Build the trust n…

Considering that Google is the exact opposite it may be a marketing strategy to lure clients to iPhone.
The update seems to have messed up the color profile on iPhone X. Colors are brighter, more saturated, more washed out and generally crappier.

Though I believe Apple bowed to China to give them access to Chinese citizen's iCloud data. But you can operate an iPhone without iCloud fairly easily, which is definitely nice. Doing more on-device helps them here. https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/18/17587304/apple-icloud-chi...
Which is why I have been crying for an iOS Time Capsule. I don't want to touch iTunes and do computer backup, that is like a very geeky way do it and most people in China don't even have Laptop or Desktop. If they can make Dual Sim and other features targeting the Chinese market; Apple's second biggest market, why cant they make Time Capsule specifically for China. ( Making it China only will likely piss off the Chin…
I hope they've fixed the bug in Mail.app where it fixates on a particular message from a month ago, which then requires you to scroll like a hamster to get to the latest messages. And then then next time as well. This has been around for a while, so I'm not really holding my breath.
I'm personally hoping for correct message ordering in iMessage. It frequently puts replies to questions before the question had been asked, so reading back through conversations makes very little sense. That's been around for years as well, so again no holding my breath. At least it's faster!

Already noticing small but appreciated performance improvements. Share sheet and app switching both came up noticeably quicker. Am loving shortcuts, looks like they didn't dumb it down. There's even an SSH action.
Which app is providing the SSH action?
If you already had the old "workflow" app it will be updated to the new "shortcut" app, if you do not have it you need to install it from the App Store.
