New Features of iOS 11

Design Changes

Many built-in apps have been refined with darker lines and bolder fonts, with Apple moving away from the thin fonts that have dominated since iOS 7. Some apps, like Phone and Calculator have new designs with darker fonts and round buttons sans borders, while others, like Reminders and Calendar, remain entirely unchanged. Still others, like Messages, Podcasts, and Apple News, feature smaller design tweaks.

Control Centre (User Customable)

In iOS 10, Apple split the Control Center, accessed by swiping upwards from the bottom of the display, into multiple windows. In iOS 11, it's back to a single consolidated window and it has an entirely new look with bubble-style icons. There are two top sections for basic networking options and Apple Music controls, plus sliders for volume and brightness. Smaller icons are available for rotation lock, Do Not Disturb, and other options.

Improved Siri

In iOS 11, Siri is using on-device learning to understand more about your preferences, allowing the personal assistant to learn more about your interests to better anticipate what you might need next. Siri is also syncing that information across all of iOS and Mac devices so the Siri experience is the same regardless of what product you're using.

File App

Files is well-organized and offers up quick access to all content that's stored on an iOS device. Like Finder for Mac, it's searchable, has a section for viewing all recently accessed files, and it supports tags, spring-loading, nested folders, and favorites. Adding a tag to a file for organizational purposes is as simple as dragging the file to the tag color of your choice.

Apple Map

Apple has purchased several indoor mapping companies, and in iOS 11, it's making use of that technology. iOS 11 supports indoor maps of select malls and airports around the world, displaying full layouts of each location with icons for restaurants, bathrooms, and other notable indoor landmarks.

Indoor mapping technology is limited to a handful of malls and airports at launch, but Apple says support will be dramatically expanded over time.

Apple Music

The "Connect" feature in Apple Music that required you to make a Connect account back when the service first debuted is finally being put to use beyond following artists. In iOS 11, you can make an Apple Music profile that allows you to share playlists with friends and see your friends' playlists.

Already updated to GM ver. (11.0) on my iP7

so far, smooth sailing

yup

No need, it'll just update the OS.
but just in case, better back up your files

From my observation, not that significant of a change.

I'll test out tomorrow when I use my data, today whole day in the house so use wifi, now battery at 29% from 100% around 9AM this morning.

Yup, even before GM ver.
Hope they fixed it with the official release

1AM tonight but I usually do it when i wake up tomorrow.

of course

nope

Battery life seems to be improving for me.

got 20% left by around 5-6PM from 8AM

The earpiece speaker you mean.

You noticed this after upgrading to iOS11 or after sometime once upgraded

yea but i think it's a 3D touch only models cause you need to hard press it to come up

Unlikely

what device are you using?

sometimes, yea.

and only happens to me on data not when I'm using my office/home Wifi

Found new bug, increasing media volume via volume button causes the volume icon to be stuck.

Solution was to restart phone (for me atleast)

just updated this morning, i'll give an update in the evening/night

iOS 11.1 in a nutshell for me

- Less app crash (especially the popular ones, eg. Facebook, Whatsapp, Messenger)
- Better battery life (got around 1 hour+ of extra time before reaching 20% by late evening)
- no more right swipe to camera bug

Opening app seems snappier on 11.1

can't say for gaming tho

Cut off time: 730AM
Data on for the rest of the day

Almost 6 hours of usage, I'd say that's good for so far.
