I posted on the forum before the patch yesterday that Apple couldn’t create a patch so quickly without doing proper Q.A (which potentially could break other features).

And here we are.

Great early review. Agree about the disappointment of fast OR wireless charger not being included in the box. Would have also been nice to have AirPods included with the purchase as well. 

you mean to wipe out their margins? I mean thats $300 worth of merchandise you want for free. 

Nah, customers want the starting price for the 64GB model to be $1249¡ (I subtracted $50 for not having to include the smaller PSU, the slower cable, and the Lightning EarPods.)

AirPods for free is kinda crazy, but a 5-watt charger is an insult. It doesn't cost them that much to provide a fast-charger. I got a fast-charger with the Samsung S7 (which I only use for development purposes) and it's probably less than $1 extra to include that thing.

I love FCPX. It’s a great editing tool. My main editing tool.

But I agree with what’s posted here: Resolve has caught up in a big way by offering professional coloring tools (and adding editing later on) which they offer by switching between ’tabs’ where the interface becomes coloring focused vs editing focused.
Also, Resolve includes 2D/3D tracking (which you can do with a plug-in in FCPX but really doesn’t feel integrated).
The reason why I don’t use Resolve that much for editing is that FCPX’s magnetic timeline is a joy to use, and overall speed is really impressive.

I guess the FCPX development team is very small. Maybe adding engineers to focus on coloring and/or buying up Mocha Pro or something would be a good step for them?

Also, Motion has become a really weird set of features and limitations. Again, Blackmagic and Adobd seem to have their bases covered there.  Motion is useless and Apple doesn’t seem to put the R&D in to offer amazing things like Adobe announced recently. By now I think it’s even better to drop Motion entirely and integrate whatever was useful into FCPX. At least FCPX has earned its position - as long as they up the pace on innovation.

A running app to which I gave permission can use the camera. SHOCKER !!

Well be cynical whatever you want, but he brought up a good point as well as great suggestions. This is not an Apple VS Google discussion and how awesome Apple is, but about a person with valid concerns and good suggestions to improve the privacy of any user. 

Apple devs should do the same for Android devs! It’s free advice, not a platform attack.

When driving and the phone being connected to a charger on the dashboard (I have a magnetic one), how would I be able to unlock the phone?

The implication there is that it would be connected to your car’s hands-free system, so you’d just use your voice to give it commands.

It sounds inconvenient to have to use a second hand to flick the screen from the right top downward. Can this behavior be changed for one hand use?

I don’t know why you think you need a second hand to do it; it’s just top down now instead of bottom up. We can talk about the sins of violating established UI conventions all day long, but that’s what Apple has done/been forced to do by not getting Touch ID working from behind the screen. Something tells me they won’t let you swap the Home/CC invocation gesture, too…

- How to invoke the notifications screen (currently swipe down from the top of the screen to drag the screen in)?

Hopefully that’s just gone; it didn’t really do much. And don’t they show up on the screen that appears when you swipe right from your first Springboard screen? I don’t even know what to call it; the thing with widgets that has the time and date in big characters at the top.

Unfortunately Siri hasn't been really effective for me, I turn it off because it mis-understands me or is severely restricted in executing more advanced requests which I can do so much easier by tapping the screen.

Good point about Control Center flicking, it's just that right now I expect a second hand needed to hold the phone AND to to 'flick-down' Control Center, whereas before my thumb from the same hand that's holding the phone would swipe-up the control center. I can't hold the phone comfortably AND flick down Control Center from the top right without involving my other hand.

Agreed the notifications screen didn't do much. I never use it myself. Just curious I guess because I imagine others might use it often. 
I suspect that dragging down from the top-left (left from the notch) will show notifications.
