Evidence of Apple’s interest in designing advanced audio hardware for future devices, can be traced back to the iPad Pro’s somehow underrated quadraphonic audio system, which uses the device’s gyroscopic sensors to determine the position of the tablet, and automatically re-calibrate the sound emitted from each speaker, for a fuller, more life-like experience.

What’s striking about these cases, is the amount of detail, which, on relatively simple and basic devices like the Apple iPad, may not be as evident, as it is when looking at the final result of a fully-covered Microsoft Surface Book, or Surface Pro.

This morning, Gabe Aul has made good on his promise to announce a brand new Preview Build, 11099, to fast ring Insiders. The previous build, 11082, was released a month ago, carrying a number of improvements under the hood, and a few glitches. Glitches, big or small, are to be expected with this new fast ring builds, as Gabe Aul has mentioned that these builds will be on par with builds released to internal rings. This means a slightly higher number of bugs and issues, than in previous instances.

In the wake of public announcements from Quanta’s CEO, Barry Lam, that an Apple Watch 2 is about to enter trial production as soon as this month, speculations on the look and specs of the upcoming device, have been mounting.
