Almost the end of 2011 and I really wanted to say thanks for all the amazing feedback since this little email started (and of course for staying subscribed). I am going to taking a short break next week so this will be the last iOS Dev Weekly of 2011 but don't fret as it will be back nice and fresh for your inbox on the first Friday of 2012. But before that, this week's links!
This week is a bit of a special one for iOS Dev Weekly, on Monday this list tipped over 10,000 subscribers. I couldn't have imagined it ever growing to these kind of numbers when I first started it so thank you all for staying subscribed, spreading the word and as always thanks to everyone in this community who produces such amazing content for me to link to every week. Here's to the next 10,000.
We're getting close to the end of the year and for once I'm actually going to take a proper break and wind down a week earlier than usual! I usually take one week off each new year but I'm going to extend that this year and take next week off as well.
So enjoy the links this week, have happy holidays and I'll see you bright and fresh in 2017! I'll be back in your inboxes on the 6th January. ❄️

At 9:37AM PST, an authorized S3 team member using an established playbook executed a command which was intended to remove a small number of servers for one of the S3 subsystems that is used by the S3 billing process. Unfortunately, one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly and a larger set of servers was removed than intended.

74% of No. 1 iPhone Apps Don't Last a Month in the Top 25
I'm kinda surprised to hear that this number is so high and I can't quite decide if it's a good, or a bad thing! The advantage of a ~75% churn is that it does give you a chance to get up there. The bad news? Well next month you're probably in the 75% and heading out. As always though, while the top charts are a nice boost they shouldn't be something you rely on.
What a week! iOS 11 made its public debut, Apple increased the limit for over-the-air downloads, Xcode 9 has finally taken over, and Swift 4.0 has been officially released.
Although I won't be updating to iOS 11 on my main device 'til sometime next week, I'm definitely enjoying it on my iPod 6th gen. Looking forward to trying out all the new AR apps this weekend! 📱🎉
I'm sure that Swift 4 will be the focus of much discussion at the conference next week, but what is it? Ole Begemann has put together a guide to all the changes as a playground so you can do more than just read about them, you can try them out too. Oh and Bart den Hollander's article on breaking changes in Swift 4 is also worth a read while we're on the subject.
