Whats this and how does it affect me as a user?
Does iOS 11 lets us disable GPS from control center?
Thanks. Doesn't sound necessary in the day to day or like it'll be a qol upgrade.Its a Augmented Reality api that developers can use.

Hm, I thought with this update we might be able to see more information on files in our device, including cache and whatnot. Basically a way to see what kind of junk is on the phone and clear up space. But in the Files app I see nothing. Exactly what kind of files should I even see in there?

At the same time, I wish there was a setting buried in the storage settings that let me delete the cache of some apps. I deleted Yelp finally because it was taking up over a gig of space and wouldn't decrease when I began to run out of storage on my phone.Apple's never gonna give anyone access to system and settings areas of the OS. Those are crazy sandboxed, for a good reason.

iOS11 gives you the ability to offload apps. Keeps the user data but clears the app off the system to let you redownload it. Seems like an effective way to clear the cache but keep your login and preferences and stuff
I think that would depend on how the apps are storing their data and cache. If an app improperly thinks things like image caches, like Yelp, are "user data", all that will happen is that the 100mb app itself will be deleted and all the other junk may still stick around, maybe?

Well iOS has a fairly standardized system. iOS developers know to place cache in /Library/Caches for years now and user data in Documents. I suspect it will keep everything but the AppName.app and the /tmp folder.
Documents and pictures etc

So if I'm already saving all of my notes and documents to iCloud and photos to iCloud Photo Library, the "Files" app doesn't really do anything for me? Because I see no photos or notes in there. It basically just shows the same thing that the iCloud Drive app shows
I get that, just thought they were giving us a bit more access like the option to clear cache and stuff as mentioned above. Slightly disappointed.
Augmented Reality. When you overlay stuff over a real world image. Like say you point your phone camera at a street and Google Maps points out all the restaurants and businesses and gives information on them based on your GPS location and the orientation of the device.Whats this and how does it affect me as a user?
Yeah I'm wondering myself. Mine says I'll save like 150MB if I enable the option but it doesn't tell me what app it is. I only keep what I actually need and use though so I won't even bother. I don't even use the photo optimization and keep all my photos on my device too.When does iOS decide an app on your device should be offloaded? Like it hasn't been used in 60 days or something?
Agreed. It may sound stupid but I fucking despised having to switch pages in CC all the time. If you've seen my Home Screen with all my icons on one page and four folders with a maximum of 9 items in each all on one page so I can see everything at all times, you'd understand why having to swipe to get to music bugs me to no end.For me that's the new Control Center.
A costumizable single pane control center sounds amazing to me, especially since I use homekit.
No more swiping sideways all the time whoo.
I just don't like how long it takes to use air play cause the new control panel.For me that's the new Control Center.

Also does offloading apps mean the app icon disappears too? Or it works like iCloud Photo Library optimization where the thumbnails stays but next time you click on it, the photo needs to be redownloaded?
ARKit is seriously impressive.
The way it can make use of reflective surfaces and light sources to make shadows is very seamless.

That's true - the new one is less attractive but vastly more useful (and that's the sort of change iOS needs - too much of the design is about photographing well instead of working well).
I don't understand how to mutitask on iPad Air 2 anymore... dragging a tab around doesn't create a parallel mutitask of Safari. I don't know how to get other apps to show side by side now, as swiping from the right side of the screen does nothing
I put the beta on my iPad Mini 4 and I was really enjoying the News app, we didn't see that one before.
But I rebooted the iPad once and it's gone. What the hell. Anyone know where I can find it, is it region-locked?
iPad Air 2 Impressions of iOS 11:
Not slow at all, though the battery's draining a little faster than usual. Some animations shutter a little, but most other animations are sped up, which makes up for it. Some of the dock behaviour is a little counter-intuitive: I can't put an app in side-by-side view (is that the fancy term?) without having it active already.
I also got the News App, which I hadn't seen before, but only seems to cover US-centric news. The TV app, which I'd gotten in a point release of iOS 10 and was absolutely broken (I'm talking 'UIViewController crashed'--something like that though perhaps not that exactily0-- error messages broken), is gone though.
The beta feels almost release ready on the iPad Pro 10.5. Theres a few weird bugs but that thing is so powerful it can just make it feel seemless.
I think it's region locked, but I heard there are workarounds.

That explains it.
I had it all setup with all kinds of news outlets and then 'poof'.
Why you gotta do me like that, Apple. You tease.
If you reboot the device, it's likely gone.
I love the new editing option for Live Photos and setting which frame you want as the main one. Super easy to use and no more deleting a photo because of blinking.
Double tap the home button to open the switcher like before. I assume the 3D touch function will return once bugs are fixed.How do You Force Quit Apps now?
Someone tell me why I shouldn't install the beta on my 7 Plus yet
I'm enjoying the beta a lot on iPad so now I'm kinda desperate for it on iPhone even though I know that I should wait until public beta update 3 or 4 is out. Also I like the new wallpaper option.Because you value stability and consistency
- posted from my 7 Plus that I have rebooted twice today and had one springboard crash
Im definitely not going back to 10 though
