I was confused as to why theyre spending so much time testing 10.3.3 before a coworker reminded me that its the last update a lot of devices are going to receive, so they have to make it count

I like the idea of the Dock, I just wish I could really get in there to customize the Dock. At the very least, I want to go into Settings and prevent individual apps from showing in the Dock at all.

Just started doing this to my 10.5. Before this I hadnt felt any heat in any capacity but for some reason today its just perpetually warm. Restarts dont do anything.
Yeah, going from a 1st Gen Air on iOS 10 to a 10.5 Pro on iOS11 is pretty mindblowing. I expected it to be better but not to this degree.
No, there doesn't seem to be anyway of swiping. Its not clear if that is intended or if its just busted atm since it makes no sense to remove the swipe functionality.

Yes, I've mentioned this. App Switcher is completely broken. It's not a small bug. It's a pretty big one. So many false positives, sometimes the animation gets stuck, you can't always swipe an app off the screen. It's broken. Let's hope that was Apple's first area of focus for the next beta.
It's not a major inconvenience for me, more a slight annoyance. Everything else in the beta seems to be working for me.

Someone with iOS 10 want to test something for me?
Try to save a video someone shared with you on a shared photo stream. Im 99% sure you couldnt do it (I gave up trying on like 10.0).
You can on iOS 11. Which is a godsend for me with little kids and lots of videos.

Photo Streams are still a thing?
Yep, its new in iOS 11

Yeah, not a deal breaker and definitely something that will not go unnoticed, so it'll be fixed.
Still don't regret installing it. It's been quite usable for me on my 7+.
Unlike the High Sierra beta which I was thankfully able to recover from with only a few hours -- and no data -- lost. (Took forever to boot onto and clone from my slow as shit portable drive that I really need to replace with a portable SSD.)

How essential is the iPad to your daily life? If you absolutely need it for work or do most of your general iOS communicating and more on it, you may want to wait. If it is secondary to your iPhone and is more of a home recreation device, then go for it.
You just shouldn't install a beta on a device if you rely on it as a primary device and are not well versed in restoring the device if something goes wrong. Nobody can guarantee you will have a relatively smooth beta experience, and you could encounter a significant or frustrating problem in betas more than anywhere else, so just be aware.
That said, I've never regretted installing betas. I am an Apple junkie and love to have their latest iOS features as soon as possible. Never had any serious issues besides maybe occasional lag and noticeable temporary drops in battery life that get resolved as the beta continues to update.

I use it everyday, my MacBook Pro 15" has collected dust since I bought the iPad and installed iOS 11 on it. It's very stable for a public beta 1

I just got an iPad 10.5 to iOS 11. YouTube not working with PiP, is that an app limitation or OS bug?

I'm pretty sure Google locks all the good stuff that HTML5 can do behind their YouTube Red pay wall. You need it for background audio playing and I believe PIP was mentioned because fuck Google.

I'm just worried for the day YouTube figures out how to disable the Picture-in-Picture contextual menu option (Or the whole right-click menu itself) on the desktop YouTube player so I can't even use PIP on my MacBook anymore.

I've signed up, but not enrolled any of my devices yet. I'm thinking about doing so on my iPad.
Where on the beta spectrum is this? Usable daily with occasional glitches, or more rough?

This might be a niche question but - how is iOS 11 working with CarPlay?
Use PiPifier for YouTube PiP in Safari on iOS. Don't know if it works on iOS 11 though.
It does

My photo library syncing has been REALLY spotty, Im just waiting for the next one to see if it clears up. Its actually been really annoying (for now) because my iPhone is on 11 so it takes photos and videos in the new format (and Im not changing it) which is working fine on my iPad which is also on 11, but I didnt beta up my Mac so that cant show the full resolution versions of the photos since it doesnt know how to handle HEVC/HEIC yet
Related note: no wonder the iPad mini is on its way out, it feels way too small and cramped for a lot of the multitasking shit they're building these days. A crowded dock in portrait is downright tiny.
It's single-handedly pushing me towards a full-size iPad tbh
Is 9to5mac loading extremely slow for anyone else? Certain other... entertainment 👀 sites have slowed down to a crawl too on iOS 11. All other sites Ive browsed since upgrading seem to work fine, its quite peculiar.
9to5mac is fine on y iOS 10 phone and all other devices fwiw

loads normally for me (iPad 10.5)

Hm, weird. I assumed it was perhaps because of some extra safari blocking or similar that's new to iOS 11. It's just on the iPad (which is using the same wifi settings as my phone), so it's definitely some sort of software issue. Hope it will be fixed in the next update.

I'd say 2/3 of the time.

Awesome. Cant wait. Beta 1 of iOS 11 has been pretty good for me. Hopefully the main fixes are the biggest bugs I've seen. (The broken app switcher for one thing.)

The hold and press x method was just a bafflingly worse decision that somehow made it through
