Fools do not understand how batteries work.
I hope the judges understand.

My Phone 6 Plus running Geekbench 4:

Date	Battery Maximum Capacity	Single Core	Multi-Core	iOS version
5 April 2018	97%, 1 year old battery	1544	2616	11.3
7 Jan 2018	8 months old battery	975	1623	11.2.1
end April 2017	iPhone replaced
14 April 2017	8 months old battery	914	1747	10.3.1
Early August 2015	new iPhone

 

The tests on 7 Jan 2018 and 14 April 2017 were done immediately after restarting the iPhone, at ambient temperature about 20ºC - 25ºC, after annoying and embarrassing moments that the iPhone took at least 6 times longer to respond to take a photo with the native camera button while no other apps were stayed in the background.

Please explain the throttling on 7 Jan 2018.

“Apple has been working hard to promote Swift has a language, promoting its "App Development with Swift" curriculum being used at over 70 high school and collegesworldwide”
The key word is “promote”, not support. How hard was it? There’s just a free of charge book everyone can download, and then self study it. You enrol in that course and pay a big sum of money, read the book, do exercises and a guided project, then do a project with Swift programming in chapters ahead. You finish the project and get a certificate, not endorsed by Apple, unlike those from Microsoft. After that, some small app developing firm may hire you, without giving you training. Short courses of it definitely not d”doing it at your own pace”, and it’s only good for those current practicing coding. 
Is it another (potential/new) revenue stream of Apple? I don’t know. But you can always download the App Development with Swift from iBooks Store, free of charge.joined the course already, better get a refund now.

1. Apple may consider 2.5mm headphone jack if 3.5mm is too “big”.
2. Headphone jack can be put at the top right corner, so the extra thickness just balance the odd camera pop-up and make an iPhone perfectly stable on a flat service.
3. Not listening to customers, like what Microsoft did, would eventually staked them up and wait for the last straw to come. And they’ll go away one day without hesitation.

WAIT! Before moving up to iOS 12.0: 
- Fix existing iOS and native apps bugs.
- Enhance functionality and usability of existing Apple native iOS apps.
- Improve iCloud to meet standards of Dropbox and OneDrive. 
- Regain original speeds and responsiveness. 
There are tonnes of works to clean up on iOS 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6.....

White or black?  That’ll be your space grey 😜

Apple has been getting things complicated. Two of the basic colours are black and white. Just call it “black” and keep things simple, and beautiful.  Use of a fancy name like “space grey” or “space gray” doesn’t make a product better. It’s just suck!
