iOS 11 - Contact Photos

[njswider]

FYI the contact photos in iOS 11 now sync with MIB2. I am running the public beta and they appear when people call. Just re-add your favorites and they will display there too.

Any issues with CarPlay that you have noticed? Debating doing the beta

I haven’t used CarPlay yet with the beta, but I will say the software itself is extremely buggy right now. I’ll try CarPlay tomorrow and report back.

Cool. I'll run the 11 beta eventually, but I want a few public beta releases to get out before making the move. Too early for my blood right now.

Haven't run into any CarPlay issues running the beta.

What kind of software bugs are you experiencing?

Messaging with siri is slow as hell compared to iOS 10 on my iPhone 6+.

Good to know, I guess I will wait a bit and see how the next beta goes. Keep us updated!

Very interesting. Any chance album art gets transferred over BT as well?

I dunno.. but why use BT for music anyways, when you have USB and SD card? Bluetooth is compressing your music (on top of whatever compression it may have been created with in the first place), you have no Coverflow ability to scan your library, and it's just inferior in every way. Move your iTunes library to SD card or a USB stick, it's a far better solution.

I did a writeup a while back on how to do it...

It does also work on MIB I. I’ve a 2015, and it does show music artwork and contact pictures. Running IOS 11 Beta as well.

Better in terms of sound quality, but inferior in terms of convenience; especially for those that have built up a library of streaming music.

I would gladly bet anyone a significant amount of cash who thinks they could properly tell the difference, in an actual abx test setup, between Bluetooth serving a compressed audio file vs an sd/USB that has lossless high bitrate/high samplerate golden master source version as you drive down the street.

I appreciate you taking the time to post your instructions in that thread for people who want that. But it's not exactly what I would call simple nor is it free (have to buy the export program). Way easier to me to use steering wheel buttons to control audio.
