Slight difference in the mobile data page, don’t have to go all the way into usage now.

I had truly terrible reception all over Gloucester including the city centre. Loads of calls lead nowhere and their social media team basically told me it was due to over-subscription. I switched to O2 and it was epic at the start, reception everywhere. They IMO went downhill so I've since gone to EE and couldn't be happier. I get 20GB a month which at times I've come close to but I do admit that at times I miss having that unlimited feeling.

Yeah, there are a few places in Bristol where I was unable to get reception. Used to be awfu when I lived in Clifton. But they seem to be getting better plus for my £20 p/m the unlimited data & 30GB tethering is really hard to give up.

20GB really is a good ammount and I know EE claim to be the fastest so that's pretty good. Just I like not ever having to worry about switching my WIFI on unless I have no network connectivity at all. Plus the feel at home has been amazing last few years when going away.

When do they usually launch a new iOS, mid-September? That’s only a month to sort out all the bugs! Public betas 3 and 4 are crashing all the time for me, especially when using the new control centre.

I'm no dev beta 5 which is the same as public beta 4 and other than one case of my phone and iPad freezing and needing a hard reboot I've not really had any other crashes.

We could get a new beta this week and perhaps next week.

iOS 11 final should be out early September.

Dev beta 6 just dropped. No idea what's new.

I have public beta on iPad Pro and iPhone 7 and generally it’s been fine with only one actual hard lock and very few issues at all. I did have some weird orientation issues on last version that I gave feedback on but sorted on ver 4.

Public beta just released too apparently, so no more delays between dev and public release.

This means its stable enough to use. It's coming! Not long now. probably 1 more beta and then release.

Hi guys. I've never owned an Apple product before, but I might be getting an iPad in the next few weeks. For those of you already using the beta, does iOS now allow for more than one instance of an app to be opened simultaneously?

Yeah should get a beta on the 28th and then the GM is rumoured to be the day of the event, so around the 12th September.

The iPad does allow you to multitask with different apps though, just not 2 copies of the same app.

Hater · 24 Aug 2017 at 16:55

So's the iPhone, just not split screen.

Well, unjailbroken anyway.

ajf · 24 Aug 2017 at 22:02

You can use 2 copies of Safari side by side if you wish. You have to open full screen, open a second tab and ghen split that off to split screen mode.
They both then work as seperate copies with multiple tabs.

I think I will install the final Beta today if it's launched then upgrade to the GM in SEP! I need my bookmarks sync back!

The screen recording feature is my favourite new addition but does anyone know why it records audio in apps but not in Safari?

Maybe a bug or copyright thing?

Dev Beta 8 just released, based on the past few releases public should be out at around 9PM or earlier.
