Has anybody here with an iPhone and iOS 11 experienced that Bluetooth automatically turns on?
I have driving mode enabled and every morning when I get out of the car after driving to work, bluetooth is on. This doesn't happen during every drive though! And I don't ever have Bluetooth switched on. Very rarely. And when I do, it's a very conscious choice.
Haven't read anything about such a behaviour anywhere.
Because its a drain on the battery and not everybody uses it.Is there a reason you turn Bluetooth off?
I experienced a semi-related glitch on my iPad: the bluetooth symbol is always boldened even when nothing is connected. Battery life is perfectly fine though. It's been this way for three beta versions or so at this point.Has anybody here with an iPhone and iOS 11 experienced that Bluetooth automatically turns on?

I'd be more than concerned if it didn't run well on the latest iPad two weeks out from GM release.My iPad Pro 10.5 runs surprisingly well with the latest iOS 11 beta.
At the very least, allow a swipe from the side to bring up the last app you've put on SlideOver. Often I put Safari or Messages on SlideOver and then slide it off screen. Go to another app and want to slide it back like on iOS 10 but nope. Nothing. I gotta drag it back from the Dock again.My biggest functionality complaint is that the method for opening splitscreen apps is far less intuitive than the old method. If the app you want to use in splitscreen isn't already in your dock, it's a hassle to set up. The old way was uglier but I much prefer it.

What happens when you have an app in slideover and you tap on the app icon either in the Dock or the Home Screen?
If youre in an app and tap it in the dock, it will slide out. If youre on the home screen, it will open the app normally.
The most awkward thing is when you have an app open in slide over but your main app doesnt support side-by-side. Theres no way to get rid of the slide over app entirely. The process for dismissing slide over apps in general is bad (requiring you to change them to side-by-side and then squeezing them off the screen with your other app). I hope Apple improves it in minor releases.
Is that really a problem though if you can just flick it off screen and forget about it?
Well, if for example you wanted to switch to the slideover app in full screen, you have to first quit to the home screen, then open the app that was in slideover. It sort of negates the convenience of the dock being available at all times. Also, slideover apps offscreen can interfere with gestures, like the "navigate forward" gesture in Safari.
I feel like the solution here is so easy - just let users drag the slideover app down off the screen, in an extension of the action that lets you convert from side-by-side to slideover.
I'd also appreciate being able to hide slideover apps off to the left as well as the right.
Is there a reason you turn Bluetooth off?
Depends how many devices you have that automatically connect to your phone via Bluetooth.The most battery drain leaving the Bluetooth chip on does is 1-2%, its nothing anyone would notice
Exactly.Mostly for better battery life.
Having Bluetooth on or off makes very little difference unless you have a device that doesnt support Bluetooth LE connected. The battery drain from leaving the different radios on is mostly negligible these days. The only thing youd want to turn off is the cell radio if youre gonna be in an area with very poor or no reception for a prolonged period of time.Mostly for better battery life.
GM will probably come in two weeks if the rumoured date of the announcement is correct. In the meantime, this may be the last beta unless Apple rolls out yet another one next week.So was that the GM? Or another one maybe?

If you say so. That's not been the case from my experience. I think the general wisdom with Bluetooth LE capable devices is it doesn't make much difference.Not in my experience. My 6s has a significantly better battery life with bluetooth disabled.
Wow Apple sent me an email to let me know that they fixed the bug that I reported.
Which bug?
Really dislike the new widget screen on iPad. So much empty space, they should have kept it how it was in iOS 10.
Tech Crunch: A preview of the first wave of AR apps coming to iPhones
Also somebody plugged their app based on the new depth API in the comments below, its imitation of anamorphic DoF looks quite amazing for artsy portraits. Will keep an eye on this. Next iPhone will be a dual lens model no matter what. http://www.brainfevermedia.com/anamorphic.html
iOS 11 launch will be very interesting, app-wise.
Man, after seven beta waves you'd expect them to fix the really obvious bugs and yet I still regularly experience the Safari status bar not scrolling to the top of a page when I touch it. It only responds normally again after I tap the URL box and cancel out.
Yep. The two column widget screen and lock screen made proper use of the space on iPad. I'm a bit perplexed why they reverted it.Really dislike the new widget screen on iPad. So much empty space, they should have kept it how it was in iOS 10.

The way it was done in iOS 10 worked fine in both landscape and portrait though.Probably for consistency when using the widget screen in either landscape or portrait.
Make sure you report it in the feedback app, I did a couple of weeks ago.Man, after seven beta waves you'd expect them to fix the really obvious bugs and yet I still regularly experience the Safari status bar not scrolling to the top of a page when I touch it.

It wasn't the most elegant, it just put the widgets from the right column beneath the ones from the left column, and the names for the were clumsy and could've been tweaked but it worked. The ordering of the widgets wasn't exactly a mystery.Sure, but the widget ordering wasn't consistent when switching between landscape and portrait. Not saying what's the better implementation, just giving a possible reason why they might have changed it.
Why would they do that? Is it still missing in the current beta version?For anyone on a 6s, beta 7 runs great for me.
BUT
they took away force touch multitasking. Boo.

This is the first iOS beta 9 ever. I wonder if we will hit beta 10.
Installing the new PB now, I think we'll have a GM by the time of the iPhone conference or the day of.
Following tradition, it would be the 12th (Wednesday before iPhone launch which is a week after the Friday after the announcement. Diagram that sentence, I dare you). They could always change it if they feel like its ready/get people to update their phones far earlier than iPhone launch day to relieve some strain on the servers, but yeah. History says the 20th
