Any idea what 'FaceTime Live Photos' are?

 

[nordique]

New invert colours "smart" mode

^ This is as close to a Dark Mode as we might see, at least until the OLED iPhone is revealed

What does "iCloud Remote Backup" mean?

 

[Edelheid]

Any idea what 'FaceTime Live Photos' are?

Probably similar to the one present in High Sierra.

macOS High Sierra lets you save a special moment in a FaceTime call as a Live Photo. Both participants receive a notification that the photo was taken, and the Live Photo goes into your Photos library.

Thanks - that's quite cool actually.

What does "iCloud Remote Backup" mean?

I was wondering this myself.

I'm also wondering what Type to Siri Accessibilty means - guessing an Accessibility feature whereby you don't need to speak in order to communicate with Siri? If that was in the keynote I must have missed it...

 

[RadioGaGa1984]

Funny they moved back to signal bars and only 4.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I really like the one-handed keyboard option. About time.

I can't wait to try the Fies app. When will iOS 11 be available for OTA upgrade?

September. Public beta later this month.

I believe the public beta will be available towards the end of June.

 

[Ryankontos]

You can hold down notifications to interact with them on non 3D Touch device!

Still looking forward to the left-handed keyboard. What about us?

 

[Apple_Robert]

They have the left sided keyboard option. You can toggle the keyboard from left, center, right side.

 

[Natya Sadella]

Whats the 3d touch safari tab switching?

 

[winmaciek]

There's a turn off option in settings -> general (scroll to the bottom).

You're literally looking at a list of things that were *not* in the keynote.

Figured. Hence the fact that I'm asking here. Thank you for being so very helpful though!

You said "If that was in the keynote I must have missed it..."

It wasn't in the keynote. That's why it's on the slide pictured.

It wasn't in the keynote. That's why it's on the slide pictured.

In my experience, sometimes entries on these screens are mentioned very briefly in passing, and sometimes that's enough to explain what it is. Hence why I was asking. Thank you again for being so nice and helpful though!

I don’t normally do this but crash all your apps and it will speed things up considerably.

Yep, force closing them makes the animations quite faster. I expect this to be solved in beta 2.
