Like the new iPad Pros, its just the wide color. Theres no local dimming for better blacks or anything
Slide to multitask from spotlight search not working for anyone? Feels like multitasking has sort of taken a step back in that respect.
Also not sure I like how iPhone and iPad diverged a little here. Not as cohesive. I get that it makes iPad more productive but it just feels weird learning two different machine's worth of habits.

As of right now, the support article has been updated to include the new iPad Pros for HDR streaming
So if I want a specific app in multitasking that isn't in the dock I have to go back to the home screen? Seems like a step back.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Everything looks really nice on first glance. I like the new bar thing on the bottom and switching between apps feels a lot nicer. It also seems to have freed up a couple gigs of memory.
Is it normal for upgrading to drain about 5% of your battery? Hopefully.

Am I doing something wrong or is Calendar supposed to feel janky?
Moving appointments to a new day by hand is an absolute mess, it feels far worse than 10

It now lists the 2nd gen iPad Pro.

I'm going to be updating my iPad to iOS 11 this weekend. I'm excited to update since the multitasking stuff seems extremely useful for my work and the classes I teach at an all-iPad school. However, the teleprompter app that I use to record announcements for my TV production class is no longer going to work with iOS 11.
It's an odd request, but does anybody know of a good teleprompter app that will work with 64-bit/iOS 11?

Do yourself a favor and switch to Fantastical.
Spend a bit of time setting it up (there are a lot of options) and youll never look back.
I hope that includes support for the iPhones 7 as well, since they also have P3 displays.
Hit the power button.

So this glitch has happened to me a couple of times where my phone will vibrate and Ill hear the tone for getting a new text. But when looking at my notifications theres no text notification or a new message in iMessage. Happening to anyone else?
My Mini 4 works reasonably well with iOS11. The battery life seems to be same as before. Gesture animations are a bit laggy through.

Why does only a single episode get played in the podcasts app now? It's super annoying when I just want to let it play for hours on end without interruption. I don't want to manually add episodes to the queue when I could just press play before...

Not so far, even from the iTunes Store HDR is only supported on 2017 iPad Pros, 8, 8 Plus, and X. Wonder if there is something else to the screen

Came here to post this exact thing. Same on my SE and no idea what is using it. Great update so far :|
Edit - it was Weather doing it for me. Changing it to 'when using app' removed the icon.
settings -> privacy -> location services. Whatever item has a solid purple arrow has recently or is currently using location.
Don't forget to check SYSTEM SERVICES all the way at the bottom. (though those don't show an icon in the title bar undless you toggle that on)
The icon in the title bar mirrors said behaviour, as in: if it's solid an app is using or has been using location services recently, if it's just outlined, i think an app might have a geo fence, but isn't really using location. (cmiiw)
Also, while previously, an app could allow you to only set location services as "always" or "never", now there's always the option to say "while using".
edit: yeah, weather app seems a bit wonky, i had a purple arrow - it's a bit overzealous with updating when set to "always" i think. - maybe me looking at my AppleWatch (that has a weather widget on the watchface) triggers a weather update. Which would be ... a lot.
I suppose it's possible that they're handling DV/HDR10 in hardware rather than software, but they could easily support HDR on the iPhones 7 by doing the tone-mapping in software if that were the case.

Thanks yeah it was weather. I can't remember what it was set to before though. Actually I recall Weather being dodgy on the last version of iOS for me too, so it's obviously not something they have worked on. I updated both my watch and phone last night and am having more issues than I can remember having any time after software updates. I can't even turn my watch off - holding down the button brings up the option but there is no way to select it.

Iphone7 battery has been draining like crazy on iOS11!
Do newly downloaded apps not work either?

Is it just me or does unlocking the phone via resting on Touch ID (and not clicking the home button) not work half the time?

Settings->General->Accessibility->Display Accomodations->Auto Brightness
Its a feature 😜 You can disable auto brightness in accessibility settings now.
Found this through Google (shouldve done that first before asking) but thanks.
I never wouldve found this as I kept checking the Brightness and Display options.
Working every time for me - though I just disabled the option last night, as the new global setting for preview notifications now means there's a good reason to unlock the phone but not immediately open it.
It should work via the Files app.
Auto-brightness was re-enabled after updating, but it's always been on by default.
It is supposed to adapt to your preferences over time, but lots of people seem to prefer to set it manually.
i don't have google docs installed, but i have an .xlsx on my desktop that i could "copy to numbers" on my iPhone.
and a .doc that i could "copy to pages"
via the share sheet.
I would suggest you can do similar things with other third party apps.
I'm not sure this is the functionality I'm looking for.
In a desktop, I can open the same file in different apps, but it's always the same single file.
In an iPad, I guess I can go copying a file from one app to the other, but what I'd like is to have a single file that lives in iCloud, and open it with the app I prefer.
The reason behind this is that I'm considering getting a 10.5 Pro iPad, but I read that I would need to pay for the Office suite. So I'm investigating the alternatives to Word, Excel, and Powerpoint: Google Docs, Pages, etc.
I like Google Docs better than Pages, for instance, but I don't want to store the document I edit with Google Docs in Google Drive, I'd like to store them in iCloud (because I already pay for it).
So, is it possible, for instance, to have in split view Files and Google Docs, and drag and drop a doc stored in iCloud into Google Docs?
My 6S was getting warmer than usual yesterday and battery usage seems worse, but it's all still under observation. Par for the course for these updates though, we'll see after a few days. I'm loving everything else.
Excellent. Always struck me as sketchy that some apps only had always and never.
Same here on iPhone 6, losing ~10% per hour in standby.
Like the hat?

For some reason my phone (6s) which was working fine last night decided to stop recognizing my fingerprint this morning. I tried rebooting it and then it said that the phone was disabled. Said to connect to iTunes. I did that, and when trying to connect, it just said "the value is missing". So I had to do a factory reset. Glad I pay for that extra iCloud space, otherwise I would have lost a lot of photos.

Trying to scrub forward or backwards in the TV app when playing my movies brings down notification/lockscreen. Really annoying.

iPhone 6 Plus here.
Updated the phone yesterday. Immediately noticed poorer battery performance. In addition, the phone, which was already rather slow in many places and malfunctioned often, seems to be doing all of these same things more frequently. But what miffs me the most is the worse battery life, which was already pretty abysmal on this phone. Even in low power mode it drains unbelievably fast.
Fucking hate this.

6S+ and been using it since last Tuesday. Battery life is still just as bad if not worse. I barely get through the day when I could sometimes go 2 days...
Never had such poor battery life. By midday I'm below 50%.
If youre ok with losing your text messages, do a back up and restore as a new phone
care to post a screenshot of your battery stats with the clock symbol ticked - maybe there's an app that somehow doesn't properly hibernate
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
YouTube slaughtered my battery life overnight yesterday. Battery settings said 10.2 hours in background even though I have background refresh disabled for YouTube , I went to bed with 70 percent and had to enable low power mode before 10AM. It accounted for 60 or 70 percent of my usage (24hrs). But everything is back to normal today.
iPhone 5s user here.
With previous iOS updates, I was never quite sure whether it really affected my battery life or not. This time, however, it was immediately obvious. It was bad before, but now it's just abysmal.
There was a time where I never ever had a reason to turn on low power mode, not even once. Now I have to turn it on every time I leave the house - and even then it drains unbelievably fast.

again, it would be really helpful if you guys also shared your battery usage stats.
Not that i don't believe you, but often times it's some buggy app that doesn't go to sleep properly and needs to be fixed - or you realize that you've simply been using your phone a lot.
