We’re looking forward to a busy, productive day before we enjoy what is quite possibly the last three-day-weekend of the year, and we’re doubly chuffed to have learned overnight that not two but three of us here at Enterprise share today as a birthday. Better still, Enterprise itself will blow our three candles at its birthday party next week. Pardon us as we dislocate our collective shoulder patting ourselves on the back.

It’s iOS 11 day, folks — and the first reviews of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are out. Anyone with an iPhone 5S or up should upgrade to iOS 11 this morning, and if you’re an iPad user, it’s simply a must. For iPad fans, the productivity features make your tablet a near-perfect laptop replacement for home, meetings and if you’re roaming around your office practicing “MBWA” (management by walking around). It even has a rather functional Microsoft Office suite (just forget about building a model in Excel on it). Among the iOS 11 features business users will love: A proper file system through Files.app, a macOS-style dock, dragging and dropping files and links and text between apps, searchable handwriting in Notes.app — the list is long. (And it’s also quite pretty…)

What to read: The best short overview of the iOS 11 is on Macrumors, and as always MacStories, Ars Technica and iMore have the best and most comprehensive (and most epic) overviews for true iOS geeks. And the best roundup of all of the reviews is unquestionably over at 9to5 Mac.

How do I upgrade to iOS 11? Simple, really. Connect to WiFi. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and tap check for update, then follow the instructions. Or head over to Apple’s iOS 11 page to learn more, troubleshoot, etc.

What about iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus? There’s still no release date for iPhone X in Egypt — that’s basically how we feel about iPhone 8. The latter looks lovely (it’s an iterative improvement in the 7 and 7 Plus that we have liked very much), but the “big toy” of the year will be the all-screen iPhone X. The reviews are starting to trickle out: The Apple press is generally in love (but like us, waiting for X). In the mainstream press, the New York Times’ Farhad Manjoo has pronounced it “A Worthy Refinement Before the Next Generation,” while the Wall Street Journal’s Geoff Fowler warns it is “Not the Upgrade You’re Looking For.” A professional photographer who has blasted through more than 2,000 images with iPhone 8 Plus’s new features meanwhile, was left very impressed with the new tech.

There’s no new macOS today — High Sierra launches this coming Monday in the US, so look for it here in Egypt on Tuesday.

Geeky tech fact about Enterprise readers: Of the more than 52% of you who read us on a phone or tablet, a bit over 82% of you use an Apple device.

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi is set to meet with US President Donald Trump in New York today, while his delegation should be meeting with the president of the World Bank and other US investors, a number of whom (among them Mars and Uber) have already pledged to expand their Egypt operations, Investment Minister Sahar Nasr had said.

Trump said he may have “no choice but to totally destroy North Korea” if the DPRK’s leader — who he called “Rocket Man” — continues on his “suicide mission.” The Donald made the remarks in his address to the UN General Assembly in New York yesterday. “The United States is ready, willing and able but hopefully this will not be necessary.” Trump’s speech emphasized the need to focus on respective national interests, adding that “countries must respect both their own people as well as other nations, spotlighting Ukraine, South China Sea, Iran and uncontrolled migration,” according to the FT (paywall). Closer to home for some of us, Trump says he sees the regional rift with Qatar being solved “pretty quickly,” Reuters reports.

This comes as unidentified sources tell Bloomberg that Trump had warned Saudi Arabia and the UAE earlier against taking military action to remove the Qatari regime. Saudi and Emirati officials have denied ever considering military action.
