    WWDC = June 5

    Speculate what'll be introduced to iOS 11 and/or other announcements.

    my guesses:
    • visual voicemail (facetime voicemails)
    • group facetime chat
    • mark text/imessages as unread
    • change default browser (this is more hopeful than anything)
    • assign custom sounds to app notifications
    • control center customization (doubtful)
    • deeper 3rd party integration with Siri
    • rotate video recording orientation without physically turning your device
    • lots of enhancements to Siri
    • Mail app enhancements...lingering bugs from iOS 10 boost
    ...sounds like they may announce new hardware as well: mbp refresh, iPads

    I'm excited. Not sure if I will upgrade to the next iPhone yet though, thinking of just paying off and keeping the 7 another year
    This is what I want the most, I can't believe we can't do this yet

    If you pay it off, yeah you get to keep it but the total (monthly lease + payoff amt) ends up being like $700

    Or you can just upgrade for free after 12 months, give the phone back, and start a new lease for the new iPhone

    I miss the days of $200 flat fee to get a new phone and never having a monthly payment

    Well the contract is 18 months so after 12 months you still have 6 payments ($33 for my phone with 128gb) + $182 buyout charge

    So like $380... selling it on eBay is probably a good idea but idk if I could get near what I paid for it ever

    adspot is pretty funny... showing what were to happen if apps just disappeared:
    car crashes
    girls handing out "selfie" paper photos on the street
    people having surgery to swap faces
    people showing up to wrong homes asking if it's their airbnb
    etc

    "keep developing apps...the world is depending on it" (or something like that)
