I don't think the intention of iOS 11 was to entice Surface Pro users. Mainly to appease current iPad Pro users. And as an iPad Pro user...I'm happy with the direction they're heading with it. I wouldn't recommend a Surface Pro user switch, personally.
I will offer a prediction here. The messages dock (App Drawer) in iOS 11 they demoed that displays the stickers and other items, to me, is indicative of Apple utilizing the increased screen space on the upcoming iphone by removing the home button. I'm not sure why they would add something that limits the screen space unless their new devices had more space to begin with.

I took is as they're utilizing the space where predictive text would be, but I wouldn't be opposed to them removing the Home Button.
I could see that. I didn't realize predictive text wasn't there anymore. A few guys that I work with have put the beta on their devices. I'm not that bold yet lol. I'm wait until the public beta releases.

I do agree to a point, there wasn't anything that made me go 'wow' and made us so eager to get our hands on the new update. I do like the 'delete message on one device and it deletes on the others' with iMessage. That was pretty neat.I was underwhelmed with iOS 11 for the iPhone. Has a couple of neat features. Much better for the iPad.
