The iOS11 Thread

The new volume button behaviour is a touch annoying. By default now, it will only change "volume", it doesn't actually change the "Ringer" volume when you're on the home screen like it used to. There's a switch to put it back (which I have) but that was a little confusing for a minute when I put it down to 1 bar volume and the phone still rang at 100% volume! :eek:
I much prefer it this way. I never touch my ringer volume and it's always annoyed me a tad that the buttons prioritised the ringer, not the actual phone volume.
 
It’s worth doing a backup and an erase restore on your phone for iOS 11, it changes some things with APFS.

Bit annoying if you have a Watch as you also have to unpair that before you do so to create a recent backup.

It did free up over 4GB of cruft from running the betas though.

Got Watch OS 4 GM also.

Anyone else wanting Watch OS 4 can install the profile from here

If that is the case i'll give it a go later.

APFS, i'm assuming that this is the filesystem as a whole, userdata and all?
 
They're signing this again now - I downloaded the ipsw from here.
Thanks for the links! I'm loving iOS 11 on my 6S! It feels really good, I love the new animations (they seem snappier), and everything just feels subtly tweaked and tighter. I've had it since Public Beta 2 on my 10.5 iPad Pro, bit on the phone it's different again.

That's actually a brilliant feature that I discovered a few weeks ago (while on iOS 10). I don't really want my ring tone volume changing (my phone is on silent 99% of the time), so this feature means I can *always* control the speaker (non-ringer) volume even when no audio is playing.

With iOS 11 how is your battery life compared to 10.3.3?

Mine seems terrible. Though, my last charge was using USB so that could be why. My iPhone 7 Plus used to lass easily two days!

Only had it for one day so far. Spent a lot of time playing with all the new features. Battery 11% at bedtime (usually above 20%). So far it feels like it’s the same battery-wise.
 
I wont be rushing into the upgrade, was a complete mess last time if you updated over wifi.
I can confirm that WiFi updates where fine. I did however, do a IPSW restore last night and it has cleared a lot of crap off the phone and it feels a lot more fluid.

Hmmm, I might have to turn off some background apps. To be honest, a day isn't an accurate measurement on both our parts :p

I am enjoying some of the new features though! Just wish the bloody app switcher was still there.

So far I am absolutely loving iOS 11 on my phone. Nothing major, just lots of lovely little tweaks. I especially like the animations, they feel tighter and faster.
 
Yea I've noticed a lot of battery drain, even with no apps running in the background. Tempted to do a clean install + restore from backup tonight and see if that helps at all. I've noticed some lag on 3D touch for apps on the home screen, doesn't feel as fluid as iOS 10 - but to be fair, this is a x.0.0 release.

The apps don't 'run' in the background, they are put in to a sleep state. Apps that have background refresh on are the issue.
