Apple's iOS 11 mobile operating system will not be available for the iPhone 5 and 5C or the iPad 4 when it is released in the autumn.

The bigger size of the 10.5-inch Pro means that Apple can call the tablet's on-screen keyboard full-sized. The updated 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro carries the same chipset, camera and 265 pixel density as the 10.5-inch unit, although it does have a slightly lower screen to body ratio.

T-Mobile dropped us a line today to tell us that starting next week, it will be carrying the two new Apple iPad Pro models.

Apple's new iPhone operating mode isn't impenetrable, however; important messages can still break through if they're marked "urgent", and users will be able to deactivate Do Not Disturb while Driving if they so choose.

Seven-time grand slam victor Venus Williams also bowed out , losing 7-5, 2-6, 1-6 to Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky . Thiem then saved two set points in the 10th game before three poor backhands from Djokovic cost him the tie-break.

As Engadget points out, there are more useful NFC use cases that go beyond holding your phone up to a museum exhibit or movie poster to get bombarded with an ad.

All in all, the new storage features above are highly welcome, if not long overdue. Gmail users who have been using iOS would know that the Gmail notifications, from the account synced with device, have been coming with a delay for quite some time. Apple's navigation app is also getting an upgrade and will now be able to display floorplan-level maps within malls and airports for detailed navigation assistance.

A new smart speaker, updates to iOS, changes to the Apple Watch and much, much more were announced during the event. That includes the ability to add drawings to typewritten documents, mark up text files, and take handwritten notes within Apple's native Notes app. With the new Core NFC framework, however, Apple could let third-party developers make use of NFC in novel ways, or it could simply expand NFC functions beyond Apple Pay for use in its own apps and services.
