“Apple just released the public preview of iOS 11 for the iPhone and iPad,” Todd Haselton writes for CNBC. “We’ve been playing with the public preview on an iPad.”
“You know how you can only keep a few of your favorite apps in the dock at the bottom of your iPad screen? That’s completely changing. Apple lets you store up to 13 apps (on my 10.5-inch iPad Pro, in any case), plus 3 more apps, including recommendations from Siri and recently opened apps,” Haselton writes. “This is my favorite new feature in iOS 11.”
“Multitasking is being revamped,” Haselton writes. “You can run two apps side by side like in iOS 10, but now also drag out another app, such as Messages, which hovers in its own separate window. This is perfect for when you want to drag a link or an image from one app right into another, and allows you to use your iPad more like a real laptop.”
“The iPad and iPhone finally have an accessible file storage system,” Haselton writes. “You can now drag and drop content, such as photos, across applications.”

Wikipedia
“A forlorn hope is a band of soldiers or other combatants chosen to take the leading part in a military operation, such as an assault on a defended position, where the risk of casualties is high …. While it was likely that most members of the forlorn hope would be killed or wounded the intention was that some would survive long enough to seize a foothold that could be reinforced, or at least that a second wave with better prospects could be sent in … if the volunteers survived, and performed courageously, they would be expected to benefit in the form of promotions, cash gifts and adding glory to their name … !!! ”
an example was the breach made by Wellington (the conquerer of Napoleon) at Badajoz…

Any feedback on improvements to Portrait Mode? Really looking forward to the enhancements to low-light photos (which for Portrait Mode, means anything less than full sunlight). Also interested to know how HDR and PM work together, especially because the aforementioned full sunlight requirement often means that portions of the photo are overexposed (e.g., a cheek that reflects sunlight and is captured as nearly white).
HIgh Sierra as well, but not a peep here at Mac Daily News.
