The next Mini’app’les meeting is Tuesday, August 16th, the third Tuesday of the month, at the Hackfactory (3119 E. 26th Street Minneapolis, MN 55406). At 6:30 p.m., members of the board and other knowledgable people will be available if you have specific questions you would like answered. We will do our best to address your question and help you troubleshoot the issue.
Over the summer, I bet you have taken lots of pictures, some with your iPhone, some with a DSLR or a point and shoot camera. At 7:00 p.m., we will talk about how we each organize, edit, and keep track of those pictures. Apple’s Photos is available, but there are other options and features out there. We will look at some of those options and what the pros and cons are for them.
 
We look forward to seeing you there.

We will do our best to address your question and help you troubleshoot the issue.

At 7:00 p.m., we will look at Apple’s recent announcements at WWDC 2016 (World Wide Developer Conference). Apple announced updates to their 4 lines of operating systems. iOS 10 has a focus of improving Siri. macOS Sierra brings Siri to Apple’s desktops and laptops with many other improvements. watchOS 3 improves app launch times. tvOS 10 will bring a single sign-on for cable services and a dark mode. Of course that just brushes the top of all that was announced. We will talk about the rest, when you will be able to get it, and on what machines.

We look forward to seeing you there.
