    Great video. Just wanted to say that I like these short videos you guys are doing - sometimes I wish they had a little more 'meat,' but they're great videos nonetheless.

    My thanks too for these videos. My only complaint is that now it's much harder to wait for iOS 11 to be released! 😁

    Nice. I'm still wondering how many of the new features will play on my mini 2.

    Great video! Does anyone know if you can put apps into multi window view, that aren’t in the dock?

    It seems like Apple is slowly evolving into 4 OS's:
    1)   Watch OS
    2a)  iPhone OS
    2b)  iPad OS
    3)  MacOS

    The first 3 are all iOS based and vary mostly based on screen size limitations.   But #2b will be very interesting to watch because:   it shares the similar screen sizes with MacOS (except for desktop class displays -- but even that could be overcome with an external GPU) and its primary distinguisher from it is simply the lack of a cursor.

    Currently a 256Gb, 10.5" iPadPro & keyboard costs about $900 while a similar sized and powered MacBook costs about $1,300.  And, the major difference in them (aside from the fact the iPad is a switch hitter) is that the iPad lacks a cursor -- which is a very fixable limitation.
