Anybody else notice the macOS version number?  11, and not 10.16.  Seems apropos.

Apple,you are business and while holding privacy Ethics torch, at the end of day you are a business to make money for shareholders and employees.  Stop this die-hard privacy triumph. Most people outside USA(may be some Europeans) don't even care privacy long as you sell your products and services cheap. Sorry, Money talks,walks, and everything else for most people in world...

How many people on Apple products related websites like Apple-insider,9to5Mac,MacRumers,etc come and say give me privacy at any cost ? Most say, Apple products are expensive even thought they like to own.

Dude, are you that clueless on how much identity theft happens these days? If you aren't, then you have some learning to do. Having ethics in any big business these days is admirable, given how much influence companies have on our politics. Who says you can't do both? Make $ and have ethics.

Same old same old, doom and gloom. How many times has Apple been copied after they introduced something? They may not have to be first, but try to be the best. They have more money than they can spend last I checked. Plus they are very strategic when spending it. Evolution happens in small increments over time. Waiting on new chips from Intel has probably been their big hold-up. The Mac Pro & iMac are probably on the next updates. Hopefully.

I would be shocked if Apple were to introduce a MacPro with ARM so soon. It is all but inevitable that they will transition to ARM on their main Macs, but I suspect the laptops to be the first. Or maybe they might do a combo Intel ARM setup. Doubt it, but that'd be interesting.

Apple has already explained their reasoning in doing this. Totally makes sense if one were to think about it critically. Batteries age and go bad. Replace them when it is needed! It is not a f'n conspiracy. Granted they should have ben more transparent about it, but that's how they operate.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Has anyone yet considered the possibility that this new CarPlay IS the "apple car" project?

I thought the same thing..it'd be great if this is actually. Apple could make a great UX/UI for a car. We all just have to wait...and wait, to see.

I'm looking forward to this update. Lots of handy new features and tweaks that make the UI more useful and easier to navigate around. Wish they would've implemented them in earlier OS versions. Better late than never I suppose.
