You could in the betas if on EE, but it seems to have disappeared with the GM.

This has been posted a couple of times on the EE forums ( example link) and they say they're looking into it. Hopefully it'll be back soon, it was a great feature.

Just a heads up on the battery thing. On my old 6plus the battery indicator would drop like a stone. Just travelling to work (half an hour) with spotify playing downloaded music almost 30% gone. However, I noticed that when it got to 1% last night it stayed there for nearly three hours. So the battery indicator in my experience is wrong.

The problem is, I can't trust it. It may die any minute so carrying my anker charger is an annoyance.

I hope 11.0.1 addresses performance issues along with the bug fixes. My iPad can’t even scroll through photos without noticeable stuttering :|

I wouldn't expect much in the way of performance fixes until around 11.1/11.2 but I hope I'm wrong.

Reddit guy was right again, 11.0.1 out. It's fairly large at 279.3MB on my iPhone 7.

Installed 11.0.1 on my 9.7” iPad Pro. UI seems initially a bit smoother, but I guess it’s early days!

Yup seems a bit better on ip6, see how the battery now sets in.

Okay, thanks. Guess I'll have to keep using the EE app for now.

Sounds more like a battery issue rather than OS. If you take it to Apple they'll run a diagnostics on it FOC.

Has it only been happening since 11?

Yup, been fine on 10 but as soon as I installed 11 the indicator was no good so surely a software issue if it literally happened after installing the new OS. On the first reboot I sat and watched it tick down 1% every 90 seconds, rebooting it fixed then but it was still way off.

I'm going to test today now 11.0.1 is installed, down to 82% since 7.30am so looking a little better.

If not I'll pop into Apple but it's looking like a good excuse to buy the new iPhone anyway.

Installed on my 12.9” iPad Pro (2nd gen), haven’t really noticed a difference in performance. It’s not terrible, but there’s really jarring stuttering when scrolling through apps in the multitasking panel, and even when swiping through photos :mad:

Also had some connection spaz outs with my Bluetooth dock which I’ve not had before... but that may be an issue with the dock rather than iOS.

My iPad 9.7” seems to have had some performance boost, but it’s still far from 10.3.3 smoothness. Exiting apps (especially Safari) causes stutter.

Updated to 11.0.1 last night.

iPhone 6S is currently at 74% after 1/2 hour of iPlayer radio this morning and a 23 minute phone call…

JGBR · 27 Sep 2017 at 15:19

its still at .0.1 unstable. I cant remember the last iOS release being this unstable.

Robbo · 27 Sep 2017 at 15:21

No problems at all on my 6s Plus, it's been fine since the iOS 11 update.

Battery life was slightly worse but it soon got back to normal.

ChrisD. · 27 Sep 2017 at 15:52

Fine here as well apart from some additional battery drain (7+).

Does this fix the exchange email issues?

It's supposed to but it's not something I can test.

Broken Hope · 27 Sep 2017 at 20:43

11.1 beta much smoother on my 9.7 Pro.

Yep, had a few people I know with this issue and it seems to be solved in 11.0.1
