If you just installed it, your phone will be indexing for the next couple of hours.

Good point. I forgot about that.

 

[AstroNut325]

What's the best keyboard? Swiftkey?

 

[Gandie]

What have they done to the App update screen within the App Store? Barely 3 entries visible at any time on my SE.So much wasted space.

 

[badboy78660]

Not snappy here on 6s +

Ditto, except I’m running a 6 Plus.

 

[CyReN]

I can barley see the control center on ipad mini, the opacity at like 10% - lolwhat

 

[jts]

Installing now. 2 hours estimate.

Damn. Update not even showing for me yet.

 

[Apt101]

I installed it on my 6s. My immediate impression is that the UI for everything is much larger and kind of goofy looking. Going to look into getting things looking less Fisher-Price.

Edit: hmm, Files doesn't show local files?

 

[definezen]

Like it overall, but did notice (some) of this:

[neoism]

So anyone do it to their iPad mini 2 Retina does it work or make it slow than shit?????

 

[Pein]

Updated my 6s plus and it doesn’t feel all that slick, still super useable but it’s kinda like android lag now lol.

 

[Guess Who]

So anyone do it to their iPad mini 2 Retina does it work or make it slow than shit?????

I updated a family member's iPad mini 2 and it seemed alright. Not gonna win any benchmarks, but it seemed totally usable.

Oh yikes. Yeah I'm gonna hold off updating it on my 6S I think.

 

[Soulscribe]

Sitting at "verifying update" for like 10 minutes now, hmm

 

[darkazcura]

And here I am wondering if the Mini 4 will be alright. Heh

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Did they change scrolling in Safari lmao

 

[Sean]

Also, any changes or improvements to Carplay/iPhone 6 battery problems?

CarPlay has some very nice improvements. Lane guidance, alternate route suggestion during navigation, speed limit signs, slightly redesigned interface. And the new Siri voice is much more pleasant for turn by turn directions.

CarPlay also launches a lot faster on my iPhone 7. It used to take a few seconds, now it activates almost immediately after plugging in the cord.

 

[esmith08734]

It looks like Apple got super into Twitter Bootstrap for this release.

 

[TimeEffect]

Trying to make room for my iphone, can someone tell me why I have all these albums in my Iphone, but I cant seem to move them to my PC or even my photo stream at all?

It's really frustrating. Theyve been in these albums Ive never created forever, but I cant move them out. Will ioS 11 fix this?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Really hate the new notification system. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I now have to unlock my phone, swipe down, then relook my phone in order for the "clear all" X to pop up. If I just swipe down initially, there's no way to clear all of my notifications as I used to. It's, again, new ways to make things take longer.

Same goes for me on the iPad. I don't like the new way to do slide over. I liked how easy it was for me to quickly switch between the apps that are invoked with Slide Over. Now, my productivity on the iPad will be worse because I'm going to have to swipe up, move things over, and constantly do that. It's cumbersome. And, it puts more pressure to just dock a second app on the side, which in portrait mode still isn't ideal because Safari in portrait mode still doesn't have a tab or bookmark bar.

Also, my bookmarklets are all screwed up.

The general problem for me with the iPad is all the new reliances on gestures. Gestures now much be more exaggerated, even old ones. It takes more time and effort to do the five finger pinch to open the home screen, and sliding up for multitasking is an elongated swipe up that takes longer to do. It's minor, but everything just takes long and more effort to do across the board.

Lastly, I don't like the new Siri voice; yes, it sounds much more natural, but much younger, and I just don't care for it.

 

[RDreamer]

Just installed.

New calculator icon looks bad. Don't like it sitting there looking terrible.

 

[Darkflight]

Did they change scrolling in Safari lmao

Yep, Safari worked differently to other apps, now matches system level scrolling - https://www.macrumors.com/2017/05/22/scrolling-changes-coming-to-mobile-safari/

Confused. Swiping down on screen shows my notifications and I can Clear All

The task manager still opens if you swipe up with four fingers. The travel distance is a lot shorter this way.

 

[neoism]

Siri's new voice is really good

 

[Apt101]

OK, I can't decide between the Aussie or British Siri. lol. Great new voices.

 

[marc^o^]

If you just installed it, your phone will be indexing for the next couple of hours.

More than that if you have hundreds of apps (my case). It was a nightmare yesterday (GM) and it's amazing today

 

[Vuze]

Siri's new voice is really good

Indeed, sounds much more natural in German as well.

Like it overall, but did notice (some) of this:

So this dude presumably spent weeks collecting these design oversights and instead of reporting them he posts a rant as the GM goes live? Seems about right. Regret the click, probably making money off it as well.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Confused. Swiping down on screen shows my notifications and I can Clear All

Maybe I'm encountering a bug then. here's a typical use case for me. I wake up and pick up my phone and I look through my notifications. Before, the clear all button was always there and I could clear them all in a tap after quickly reading them. Now, I can only clear all notifications on a single tap when they are listed as "older" and to get the phone to think they are older, I have to unlock the phone, pull down notification, then relook my phone and pull down notification center. Then they are considered "older" and the clear all option appears. I guess I don't know why I am only allowed to clear all my notifications when they are considered older.

Also, on watchOS, I don't understand why they switched the buttons on alarms. Before, right was stop and left was snooze, but now it is reversed for some reason.

😬

Also wtf @ Notification Center now locking your phone lmao

 

[giga]

Content blockers not working?

Restarting safari fixed it.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Content blockers not working?

Crystal is working fine for me

 

[giga]

😬

Also wtf @ Notification Center now locking your phone lmao

It doesn’t. No lock icon at top. It’s just your lock screen.

 

[CorrisD]

Did they really choose to make the control centre music controls into a tiny box that you have to hold on to open? Why can’t I just have it above the rest of the controls? What an annoying change to make, I would have preferred it stayed how it was at least it was always there.

And they’ve changed the lock screen music controls too. Who makes these decisions. The lock screen controls should be what is in the control centre.

Awful.

 

[Dinskugga]

Can you select to not have the search bar in every fucking app?

Do not want a search funtion i imessages , notepad

 

[Dynamic3]

The amount of wasted space with these giant, bold headers is insane.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh whew 😂

 

[Mark Andrew]

Been using this since beta 1 and the amount of outstanding bugs is kind of weird. But overall this is a pretty solid update. Also thought iLife and iWork would be updated to match the new icon style but apparently not.

This is annoying too. And, again, it now takes more taps and more time (for animations) to do stuff that was simpler and easier before.

 

[Jigolo]

Wtf did not expect the dock on my Mini 2. Love the new keyboard. Hate the new notifications but everything else seems good so far (10min). No crashing yet....

Edit made a passcode and took it off to get rid of that notification

 

[Gandie]

New Control Center Looks weird but atleast it‘s all on one page and is easier to bring up.

 

[esmith08734]

I can’t shake this Twitter Bootstrap design.

 

[dallow_bg]

Yeah, it’s so odd.

 

[RDreamer]

Why doesn't control center have some way to quickly change what's connected via bluetooth? Unless I'm missing something.

 

[CorrisD]

And now the control centre doesn’t turn off WiFi and Bluetooth it just disconnects them?

To quote myself as well, it seems that you can access full music controls from the notification centre now by dragging down, but that’s still at the opposite end of the screen.

I don’t understand Apple logic at all some times, this urge to change things and make stuff less functional just because.

 

[snack]

screen recording looks amazing. i wonder if apps like snapchat, netflix, will disable this feature though.

How is performance on the Mini 2? Does typing lag in Safari?

 

[uncleniccius]

I didn't think the new ipad stuff was a thing for the ipad pro 9.7? It seems to be there?


Is there a way to default open webpages in reading mode? Would be a great thing.

 

[Sean]

Long press on the reader mode icon in Safari's address bar. It will give you the option to always default to reading mode on that particular website, or on all websites. It's very handy.

 

[tim.mbp]

So the files app useless if you’re not a heavy iCloud user?

Hold the Reader icon when using it. Amazing new(?) feature.
