Apple quietly added in the ability for it to generate the application code to any processor when it included 'bitcode' as part of the App Store submission process.  For apps on the Mac App Store that added this, those apps can be re-generated for the ARM from the x86 code.  All of this is based on the LLVM work that Apple funded years ago. 

The cutover from X86 to ARM has been well-planned by Apple for years and, when it happens, I suspect that the transition will be the smoothest ever.  I lived through Rosetta and it was as good as it could be made.  The approach Apple is planning will make that look like the stone age.  

Wow!  Apple needs to release that!  Fantastic!  Some times I just want to DD and not use the Share button. 

Apple, if you read these forums, please please release this in Ios11. 

Perhaps I am working with old information, but I thought that Apple only supported wireless Time Machine to drives attached to Apple routers?  Is this now supported to 3rd party network-attached drives?

Can't argue with this..... the Apple TV remote is a design FAILURE.  Add an LED or two, make it asymmetric so I can figure out which end to hold, .... for pete's sake, make it rational.  

I don't know the architecture of the 5C but I think that all the keys are in one FLASH.  Can't they just clone the FLASH (see them clone a  FLASH part at when they upgrade a device) so if they brick it with one set of codes, they can re-flash it and keep trying?

I think that the keys are moved to a secure enclave in the 5s/6 phones but I think that the 5c does not have that feature....
