iOS 11 is Out Today

[Maura]

The big day is finally here, with iOS 11 now available to download for compatible iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch, bringing with it many changes and improvements. At the time of writing, iOS 11 is one of the top trends on Twitter worldwide, and judging by the most popular comments on there, the main issue around the world appears to be how long it takes to download, and how big the update is (2.5GB, approximately), with a Twitter moment titled “The iOS 11 Struggle is Real if You Have Full Storage.”

AppleInsider has a great round-up report on the many changes ushered in by the update, including ARKit, a revamped App Store, deep learning for Siri, Do Not Disturb While Driving, a new Music app, h.265 for video, a redesigned Control Center, indoor mapping for Maps, and AirPlay 2.

You’ll need to have iPhone 5s and upward or iPad mini 2 and upward, iPad Air and upward, and all iPad Pros, as well as the iPod touch sixth generation, in order to download the software.

It's new everybody wants it one the first day, the first minute. Maybe if you could have waited a day or 2 even it might have downloaded in 20 minutes.

Amazing results on iOS 11 on my iPad Air.

I have a 16GB IPad Air which has only 450 Mb of memory left.

After the new iOS 11 download I have 5.3 Gb of unused memory.

Absolutely amazing, terrific upgrade.

Also really appreciating the dual alpha / numeric keyboard where you can easily type numbers by dragging down the key.

Thank you Apple!

The new iOS has an amazing new way of managing memory, do some research or install it yourself and you will believe my excellent results.

Bit the bullet installed iOS 11 last night. Took 30 minutes from start to finish fastest ever.
Last night enable iOS 11 on my way I’ve paid it yeah I know I’m using dictation.
For the first time ever pressed the microphone button, didn’t come out quite right but you never know.

About dictation, this thread is still ‘mostly’ relevant.
