Hopefully the revamp extends to using a new design for the awful remote control

Nonsense. I find the Siri remote easy to use and have n ever had any issues with it.

I think Siri remote doesn't have an awful design but at the same time I would be lying if I say never had any issues. First problem is identifying orientation of the remote, regularly I find myself holding it upside down. Second issue is sometimes I press the wrong button, to differentiate the buttons are designed hollow and bump, but it is still difficult to identify which button which. Third is scrubbing, with the old remote I could press down button and see equally devided portions of video and easily navigate it, with siri remote even though I can easily scrub most of the time I accidentally loose exact location of the video when I press the touch surface to confirm the location of the video. Playing games with the remote is very difficult, gamepad is not included in the box and Remote app is not make it easier. I believe an overhaul would be good for the next Apple TV remote.

I can recommend Genius Scan, I have been using it for years and very happy with it. Also, I am looking forward to Notes in iOS 11. In every update, notes get more and more advanced.

I think the biggest issues of styluses is handling the gap between the glass and the pixels. Apple pencil is doing an amazing job on that, you can almost choose a pixel and touch it with Apple pencil. I have tried wacom bluetooth connected stylus with iPad Air 2 which has laminated screen but the experience wasn't even close to Apple pencil with iPad pro. The easiest stylus test for me to draw a line on the screen and try to re-catch the line and continue to draw the line. If I cannot catch the line on my second touch, that stylus is not for me. With Apple pencil every try I can do that successfully. 

I think this is a result of Apple's decision of creating a new form factor period from every two year to every three year. 

Personally I was less excited about iPhone 7 introduction compared to iPhone 6's. Even though spec wise iPhone 7 is a superior phone, design wise it looks just as good iPhone 6 not superior.

I am not convinced the explanation about people buys android phones because of the rumors. I believe those people are in minority and they just want to have the latest not the greatest phone.

I was very excited to watch samsung's s8's introduction because of the design but it didn't make me buy one of them. That phone is not a complete product. The biggest issue is aspect ratio of its screen. Most of the youtube videos cannot take advantage of the screen without sacrificing top and bottom crops.

I will wait for the new design of iPhone 8 to upgrade my iPhone 6.
