Uh, what about EV routing? This isn't just "EV Data", it's intelligent routing to your destination plotting multiple charging waypoints. This is HUGE, especially with CarPlay integration. Can't believe it's (sort of) mentioned in the title but not ONE WORD in the body...

Oh, one more gripe. (Sorry.)

32,768? Really Apple? These machines have gobs of virtual memory. I deal with spreadsheets that frequently have more than 2^15 rows. This is a 64 bit machine -- would 2^32 rows really be too much to ask for? 

I love Numbers. I've used Excel since it first came out on the Mac back in the '80s, through a couple decades on Windows for Intel and Alpha, and have learned to loathe the ribbon and user-hostile interface it has. However, I do have one gripe, and one hidden power feature not touched on above, regarding Numbers.

First, the gripe. Numbers has never had pivot tables. In the iWork 9 version of Numbers, it had Table Categories, and that was a brilliant way of viewing the same detail. Sadly, that was stripped out during the iCloud-enabling rewrite and no longer exists. I'd love for Table Categories to come back!

Not mentioned above: when laying out your sheet full of tables and charts and pictures and text boxes, you can easily arrange things that don't print out well. Turn on your rulers and drag guide lines to match your print space so that you can be sure to place elements where they'll not be ignominiously chopped up in little bits when transferred to paper or PDF. Just calculate your print space as your paper size minus your margins (top + bottom, or left + right) and divide by your print scale factor. I've not found an automated way to do that -- perhaps Apple could add such a feature?

I downloaded Pass2u, and started to create a pass for a loyalty card. The app wanted me to login using my Facebook id (or one of Google or Twitter, I forget which). At this point, I closed and deleted the app.

Yup, same here.
I don't trust it, and am appalled that AppleInsider would push such an invasive app without thoroughly vetting it and their privacy policy and find out what the relationship is between forcing login to ad-based social networks and programming a virtual loyalty card. (Other than the obvious to sell your PII to advertisers.)
Check the reviews, especially all the 1-star reviews. Most folks are complaining about this, but the developer's responses are weak.

I absolutely love the new dynamic traffic analysis in Maps. I've been using it extensively this week just to go to work and back home. I've had Maps re-route me several times on my trip to take subtle but important changes that have shaved several minutes off my normal 25 minute commute.
I decided to listen to Maps more closely after seeing it suggest a different route one morning than my normal routine, and as soon as it realized I hadn't taken the route, added 6 minutes onto my commute time; I laughed, and then almost immediately had to stop as I was mired in a 2 mile long traffic jam -- one the Maps knew about, but I couldn't see due to a hill in front of me. And I was 7 minutes late to work.
Since then, I've tried to follow the suggestions, and just about every time there's been a change, I've been able to see why as I take the alternate route and wave bye to my fellow motorists stuck in traffic. Some of the routes have been weird, but the time estimates have all been spot on. AI FTW.
Thanks, Apple -- that's a huge win for me. Even if I do feel dorky for asking Siri for directions to work every morning...
