As a result, iOS 11 will likely drive more adoption of the iPad in enterprise environments. That new iOS comes with new management features, also highlighted at WWDC, that build on the enterprise features  Apple introduced earlier this year in iOS 10.3 .

The network is called InLinkUK, and the kiosks are called InLinks. (In New York, the service is called LinkNYC.) Intersection is working with telecom provider BT and outdoor advertising company Primesight to replace over 1,000 pay phones in major UK cities with InLink kiosks starting today. Some of the InLink kiosks will replace London’s iconic phone boxes, but InLinkUK says the “majority of the red phone boxes will remain to preserve this iconically British part of the streetscape.” A map of active — and pending — hot spots can be found here.

Details were similarly leaked by Google last year about a Chromebook that went under the codename “K...
