Let's create a backup copy. Built-in QR code scanner

The most popular (until recently) smartphone in Russia has been in my pocket for almost three years.

More precisely, not only in my pocket - I mainly use it as a modem to save on landline Internet (rented apartments, moving). Therefore, with the iPhone 5s we have already experienced three system updates.

The latest update is the best.


A dinosaur has the right to live as long as its creator feeds it new firmware.

This one is the last one. Unlikely in 2013 Apple year I suspected that I had produced such a long-running and successful device. For example, four years ago, iOS 8 made the iPhone 4s cramp like an untrained runner's legs during a marathon.


With iOS 11 everything is fine.

Some of the innovations in the latest update are meaningless in relation to 5s, but the old man is holding up well. It even implements a simplified analogue of 3D Touch, which appeared only in the iPhone 6s. Of course, the iPhone sometimes slows down, but the lags are not critical. The update did not transform the leader Russian market 2016 in the log, although it did not add speed to all operations.

I did not let go of the updated smartphone for a whole day, but did not notice frequent crashes or terrible slowness. Battery life suffered a little: iOS 11 definitely didn’t add anything to the iPhone additional minutes life. It's reassuring that the battery quickly flew away only when the flashlight was on - which means this is a fixable bug.


And now about the main ones iPhone chips 5s after reincarnation.

Redesigned control center

Customization bottom curtain they trusted the users - and this is a very correct move. For example, I immediately threw out the timer (the most useless application in everyday life) and set the alarm icon. The player has been moved to the main curtain, now you don’t have to look for it by swiping to the left, making random taps along the way.

It’s cool that some items are revealed with a long press. Now, to enable modem mode, you don’t have to go into the settings.

It is important to know that when you press Wi-Fi icons And Bluetooth wireless interfaces are not cut off as before, but simply reset the current connection. I noticed this when, after half a day, Wi-Fi dropped the battery to zero.

Upgraded “Notes”

I hate Word, Page and other third-party text editors: in my opinion, there is nothing better than native notepad.

Now here you can pin an important note, make a table (finally!) and scan a document. Last function is banal - in fact, the background of the photo becomes less bright, and the text becomes more contrasting. It is convenient to sort and insert checks and payment documents into one file.

Built-in QR code scanner

Obviously, in 2017, QR codes are as relevant as the work of the Na-Na group. But sometimes this can come in handy: for example, I’m currently reading a book where links to videos are made in the form of quick response codes. All I have to do is open the photo app and capture the code in the lens. By the way, Apple killed applications with similar functionality. Cruel.

Screenshot Manager

Memory optimization

I’m not a Muscovite, but I use apps like “Metro”, “Yandex.Transport” or coupons for fast food when I’m in the capital. Now temporary unnecessary programs can be unloaded from memory. The apps are deleted, but the settings are saved: in the next iteration you won’t have to restore bookmarks or remember your password. Very relevant for a smartphone with 16 GB of memory.

Intrusive notifications

Sometimes I miss it on Telegram important messages, because either the phone was dull and silent, or I was distracted and did not notice. In iOS 11, notifications from selected apps stick to the display. The message will hang there and be an eyesore until you open the messenger or mail.

For registered developers. There are two ways to install iOS 11 on iPhone and iPad. If the update cannot be delivered over the air, you can flash the device via iTunes.

It's important to remember that test builds iOS 11 contains not only new features, but also bugs that may interfere normal operation iPhone and iPad. For those who are not involved in development software, installing the beta version is not recommended for developers. The public version is expected before the end of the month.

Create a backup copy

Before installing iOS 11 on iPhone and iPad, you need to create backups. It won't let you lose important files, if something goes wrong.

Step 1: Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer.

Step 2: Open iTunes on your computer.

Step 3. Click on the device icon in the upper left corner of the window.

Step 4: Go to the Review section in the sidebar.

Step 5: Check "This PC".


Step 6. Check the “Encrypt” option backup copy».

Step 7: Click "Create a copy now."

Step 8: Enter a password to encrypt the backup.

Step 9: Once the process is complete, select iTunes > Preferences at the top.

Step 10: Select the Devices tab.

Step 11: Click right key mouse on the created backup copy.

Step 12. Click "Archive".


If a backup is archived, it will not be overwritten by the backup a copy of iOS 11.

How to install iOS 11 beta: method 1

Step 1: On your smartphone or tablet, open this page.

September 19 (release date) released iOS 11, many have already managed to update, because so many different features have been announced. Some even thought that augmented reality would come to their 5S. It will be possible to run cool games, measure a person’s height - but figs! Let's not drag our feet and get straight to the hard stuff.

Battery life

Yes, iOS 11 eats up battery power like crazy. What's happened? Similar problems happened before, when iOS 7, 8, 9, 10 updates arrived. Then everything was resolved, but, for example, it seems to me that the most optimal power consumption was in iOS 6. Unfortunately, in the first build of the official release of the 11th version of iOS there are obvious Problems with charge consumption - that's for sure. And keep in mind that on my iPhone everything is optimized for minimal consumption: geolocation services are disabled, sleep modes are configured, cellular data transfer is disabled when not necessary, only supported network types are selected (4G is not supported by the operator) and much more.

Games and programs won't launch

I was getting ready to play my favorite toy, which just the other day crashed, and I completed a bunch of puzzles, after six months of inactivity. In general, I launch it, and: “It is necessary to update such and such a game. The developer needs to update this program to make it work with iOS 11."
Well, that's it, the mood is ruined. The developer is unlikely to update, there’s not even advertising, but I got it for free, it seems, as part of some kind of wave unprecedented generosity Apple is, as they say, “on the ball.”

Switching speed

Yes, now my iPhone 5S starts up and reboots much longer than it did in the “dozens”. By the way, don’t forget that the “nine” worked even faster. Wow, we'll soon be waiting an hour for it to load. Although no, I’m kidding, the smartphone will not receive the next update at all.

The keyboard is slow

Thank you, of course, but at least on the first day of rolling out the update, the keyboard was glitching, wildly. The set of letters simply infuriated me; it felt like I had a cheap Android smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread for $20. To tell the truth, I will say that after some time a cache was created and it became better, but the set is not ideal in any case.

Streaming

Wow, you guys are just crazy here. Now, instead of on-the-fly streaming, some kind of built-in player has appeared, which does not snatch the direct address from the player, but plays according to some unknown schemes. It has become worse to work because it takes longer to load, often glitches, and often does not play at all. I looked on the iPad, there is no such crap (there old version iOS). The same videos play normally.
And with some update on the “ten”, the ability to listen to videos from YouTube in locked screen mode has disappeared. Yes, what do you think when you do this?
Now you have to use the stupid UC Browser to listen in the background, normal, right?

That’s all, don’t forget that yesterday I published another article that reveals as many as 3 reasons why you should upgrade to iOS 11.

Advice! Most common problems iOS problems 11 and methods for solving them are described in.

Design

Before the official announcement of the iOS 11 update, there were many speculations that Apple would seriously update appearance your mobile operating system. For real large-scale update, alas, did not happen. However, some elements of the iOS 11 interface have changed.

In iOS 11, Apple designers have moved to bolder fonts, particularly in headings. In almost all standard applications In apps, the fonts have become darker and bolder, in the style of the iOS 10 version of the Music app.

Some applications, such as Phone and Calculator, have received much more noticeable improvements, which can even be called a full-fledged redesign.

It is noteworthy that many applications, for example, “Calendar” and “Reminders” remained completely unchanged.

Command centre

iOS 11 has completely reimagined Control Center. The updated Control Center in iOS 11 is a single screen, instead of the three separate ones offered in iOS 10. However, there was no return to the days of iOS 9 - the Control Center received a completely the new kind with round shaped icons. The updated default menu includes two sections for adjusting network options, music controls, sliders for changing volume and brightness, as well as several small buttons for locking rotation, controlling Do Not Disturb and other settings.

In iOS 11, Control Center can be customized! Apple finally took pity on users and gave them this opportunity. In Control Center you can now set required functions and applications, which will certainly do using iPhone And iPad where more convenient.

Previously, the Control Center, when called, began to occupy only a small part screen, now it is located over its entire area. Thanks to this, the updated menu provides access to a noticeably wider range of functions, and users have the right to choose which ones.

In the settings of the iOS 11 update, a special section has appeared in which users can add various elements to the Control Center. You can add the following options:

  • Flashlight
  • Timer
  • Calculator
  • Camera
  • Universal access
  • Alarm
  • Control Apple TV
  • "Do not disturb the driver"
  • Guided Access
  • Home app
  • Low Power Mode
  • Notes
  • Screen Recording
  • Stopwatch
  • Text size
  • Voice notes
  • Wallet app

Along with new personalization settings, expanded 3D Touch gestures have appeared in the new Control Center. When pressing hard on most icons in the Control Center, the user will receive additional options. For example, by pressing hard on the Music application icon, not only playback controls will appear on the screen, but also information about the song being played, as well as auxiliary parameters.

When you hold down the flashlight icon, you can increase or decrease the light intensity.

When you hold down the brightness control icon, there is a convenient adjustment scale and a Night Shift button.

When you hold down the Notes application icon, you have the option to create a new note, list, photo, or sketch. And so on.

On iPad new The control center looks different. It appears on the right side of the screen in both landscape and portrait orientation. Left side occupy thumbnails of running applications. The Control Center itself on the iPad is exactly the same as on the iPhone. Menu items can be changed to suit your own needs, and if you hold for a long time, additional options appear.

The control center on iPad is located on the same screen with an updated menu for switching between applications. The latter is located to the left of the Control Center in the form of thumbnails of all open applications. The combined menu is called up by swiping from the very bottom of the screen, or double click Home buttons.

Note that first beta versions of iOS 11, in the updated multitasking menu on the iPad, it was suggested to close applications by clicking on the small cross in the corner of the thumbnail. This was completely inconvenient, which, fortunately, Apple noticed, offering the most pleasant and intuitive way to close applications.

Lock screen

IN iOS update 11, the lock screen has actually been merged with the Notification Center. In its basic state, the lock screen only shows the time and date, but swiping up opens a list of missed notifications. An identical list is presented in the Notification Center, which, as before, can be opened from anywhere in the operating system by swiping down from the very top of the screen.

In iOS 11, the lock screen has two additional pages. Swiping right on the main screen opens a page with widgets, swiping left opens the camera. In this regard, the screen iOS locks 11 is no different from the version from iOS 10.

iMessage and Apple Pay

In iOS 10, Apple introduced apps for Messages and even a separate App Store for iMessage. In iOS 11, the company decided to provide users with more easy access to these functions. Messages in iOS 11 introduces quick access to stickers, emoji, apps, and games that can be used by iMessage. All you have to do to access them is swipe your finger across the pop-up app bar and necessary additions iMessage will appear in front of you.

And this little strip changes absolutely everything. If previously, to send a banal sticker you had to first go to the App Store menu, now selecting and transferring them takes a split second. You can also transfer more useful content, for example, location from Maps, tracks from Apple Music etc. Thousands of apps from the App Store support iMessage extensions.

In addition, iMessage in the iOS 11 update introduced the ability to send payments between messenger users. Using special application Apple Pay, iPhone and iPad owners can transfer money to each other using proprietary payment system Apple. The money received is stored on the new payment card Apple Pay Cash not showing up in the Wallet app. However, it is full-fledged - you can use it for purchases through Apple Pay, or transfer money from it to a bank account.

It is important to note that the function of sending money via iMessage is currently iOS release 11 will not be available for use in any country in the world. Take advantage new opportunity iMessage in iOS 11 will be possible only after the release of one of next updates iOS 11, probably iOS 11.1. She stated this herself Apple company literally one day before release final version iOS 11. We also emphasize that the function will initially work only in the United States.

However, in Russia support Apple maps Pay Cash will appear. This is expected to happen during 2018. Apple Support Pay Cash will be available for all Apple compatible users Pay devices: iPhone SE, iPhone 6 or later, all iPad Pro, fifth generation iPad, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 or newer models and Apple Watch. Transferring money between iMessage users will not be subject to commission, but when withdrawing money, users will have to pay a commission of 3% of the transfer amount.

Important! This feature was presented at WWDC 2017 and appeared in the first beta versions of iOS 11, but was later removed from the system. There will be no iOS 11 in the final version. It is expected that Apple will bring it back in future updates. Next new feature- “Messages in iCloud”, which provides storage of all your iMessage messages in iCloud cloud storage. Messages will be synced across all your devices under one account iCloud recording. An excellent bonus of this storage method is the freeing up of space in iPhone memory and iPad, since correspondence and attachments will be stored in the cloud.

The latest addition to iMessage in iOS 11 are two new full-screen effects - Echo and Spotlight.

"Echo"

"Spotlight"

Live Photos

Apple is not losing hope of making Live Photos popular among all its users. iOS 11 introduces three new effects for Live Photos:

  • Looped videos - a “live” photo will turn into a funny looped video.

  • “Pendulum” effect - the photo will be played back and forth.

  • Long exposure - will allow you to achieve the effect of a long shutter speed, like on SLR cameras.

In addition, “live” photos in iOS 11 can be cropped, choose a different key shot for them, or turn off the sound when playing a Live Photo.

Camera

The iPhone Camera app in iOS 11 has new filters that Apple calls "pro-grade." Thanks to them, skin tone in photographs will become more realistic, and portraits will be as expressive as possible. There are nine redesigned filters optimized for natural skin tones.

Portrait mode has been significantly improved in iOS 11. In particular, image quality has been increased, low light output has been improved, and the mode itself has received support optical stabilization Images. In addition, in portrait mode the flash started and appeared HDR support for even better lighting.

The Camera app also has the ability to scan QR codes. To scan, just point the camera at the QR code and it will be recognized immediately. After successful recognition, iOS will suggest a method further use, encrypted in the QR code of the content. For example, if a phone number is found in the code, the system will offer to call it, and if the link is to a website, then open it in Safari.

New HEIF and HEVC formats

With the iOS 11 update, Apple switched to new photo and video formats - HEIF and HEIC, respectively. Main feature These formats have improved compression. Media files are compressed up to two times without losing quality. This means that photos and videos taken on iPhone camera or iPad will take up half as much space in memory and iCloud cloud storage.

It is important to note that media files in the new formats are compatible with devices that do not support them. When you send or transfer photos and videos to HEIF formats and HEIC, they are automatically recoded into readable formats for viewing on any device. Thanks to this, the situation with Live Photos is impossible to watch anywhere except the latest models iPhone and Mac will not happen again.

Photo

Face recognition in photos in iOS 11, like many other data, is now synchronized with other devices. This means you only have to tell the Photos app once about the person in the photo, then updated system syncs this information across all your devices. In addition, the selection of photos for the “People” album has become more accurate.

The Photos app now supports GIF animations. They play when clicked and are automatically collected into new album"Animated".

The number of types of “Memories” (automatically created thematic collections of photos and videos) in iOS 11 has been significantly increased. The system creates memories based on weddings, sporting events, pictures of pets, etc.

IN technically“Memories” has also been improved. In iOS 11 they adapt content for portrait and landscape orientation.

App Store

Shop Apps The Store has been completely redesigned. So completely that even the app icon has been changed for the first time since the App Store launched nine years ago.

However, the main changes in the App Store in iOS 11 are contained inside. After App updates Store greets users with five tabs:

  • Today,
  • Games,
  • Applications,
  • Updates,
  • Search.

The Today tab contains today's most relevant content, as determined by App Store editors. Here, the “Game of the Day” and “App of the Day” sections are updated daily, which, again, are carefully selected by Apple employees.

In addition to these sections, the “Today” tab regularly appears various applications With detailed descriptions, collections and even articles in which developers most often describe the process of creating their applications and games.

The “Games” and “Applications” tabs, as the names suggest, are dedicated to games and applications from the App Store. Apple decided to separate games and applications into separate tabs in order to give users the most in a convenient way find exactly what they are looking for. So, if you are not at all interested in games in the App Store, in the updated App Store they will flash before your eyes only on the “Today” tab, in very limited quantities.

Directly on the pages of applications and games in new App Store features more video previews, Editors' Choice stickers, and easy access to user ratings and in-app purchase information.

The App Store in iOS 11 has improved not only externally. The main technical upgrade of the store Apple applications has become an improved search. Searching in the App Store has become much easier - the “smart” mechanism prompts very accurately, and also provides links to relevant articles, tips and tricks, and selections.

Siri

Siri improves with every new one iOS version, and iOS 11 was no exception in this regard. Branded voice Apple assistant updated with more realistic female and male voices, which are much more similar to human ones. According to Apple executives, new Siri voices were created with the help deep learning, which made it possible to achieve better pronunciation and a more expressive voice.

Siri's main innovation in iOS 11 is subtle. The voice assistant has become self-learning, and it learns directly on the device, without sending user data anywhere. Thanks to machine learning Siri will be able to learn more about the user's interests, which will enable it to offer better recommendations.

Another important improvement to Siri is that the user information stored by the assistant is automatically synchronized with all devices that are authorized under the same account. by Apple ID. This means Siri will get to know you just fine whether you're on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

In iOS 11, users can ask Siri to translate text from English to Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Support for other languages ​​will be implemented in the coming months. Apple representatives did not specify whether Siri will support translation into Russian or from Russian.

In addition, Siri has learned to form an understanding of users’ musical tastes. Based on this information, the voice assistant can suggest suitable music from Apple Music. When listening to songs from music service Siri can also answer various small questions related to music, such as “Tell me who the drummer of this band is?”

IN Siri settings an option has appeared that allows you to access voice assistant text commands. You can enable the option in the “Settings” → “General” → “Accessibility” → Siri → “Text input for Siri” menu.

Siri in iOS 11 received support for the Notes application (creating notes, task lists and reminders), remote control applications banking services bank transfers and invoices, as well as applications that display QR codes.

And finally, Apple provided third party developers access to the SiriKit API, thanks to which they can fully integrate voice assistant into your applications.

Files

The app is missing in iOS 11 iCloud Drive- its place was taken by a completely new “Files” application, which is an analogue of Finder on Mac. Files offers access to all files stored locally on your iPhone or iPad, data from cloud storage iCloud, content from apps, and all files and folders from third parties cloud services, such as Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive and others.

User data is very well organized in the Files app, providing fast access to all content stored on the iOS device. Like Finder on the Mac, the Files app lets you search through files, has a section to view all your recently retrieved files, subfolders, and the ability to add files to your favorites.

Third party developers may support Files in their applications. Files-enabled apps appear in side menu standard file utility, making it much easier to transfer documents, photos, videos and other content between them.

iPad Features

As Apple itself says, iOS 11 is a “giant leap for iPad.” And you can’t challenge this statement even if you try hard. iOS 11 greatly enhances the functionality of Apple tablets.

iPad tablets iOS control 11 will become even more like Mac computers. This is largely due to the new Dock panel, which can accommodate a significant amount of space. more apps(up to 15). Updated panel The Dock is available on any iOS 11 screen. The panel is “smart” - as you use it, the most frequently used applications, as well as those that were recently launched on your iPhone or Mac, will appear on its right side.

The Dock panel will help open up multitasking. Any additional application on an iPad running iOS 11 it will be possible to open directly from the dock in the modes Split View and Slide Over. The redesigned menu for switching between applications, again “smart”, will remember your preferences and allow you to quickly return to familiar combinations, for example, text editor and browser.

The drag and drop function completes the picture. iPad users with installed iOS 11 will be able to transfer text, files and photos from one app to another in the most intuitive gesture.

A prime example of the basic use of the drag-and-drop feature is the ability that has appeared from the already running application call Dock, from which you can drag a new application directly onto the screen. So simple action You can open two apps on the same screen in Split View mode, or place a new app on the right side of the screen thanks to Slide Over mode. There are many advanced ways to use the drag-and-drop feature. For example, you can drag text, images, links, and other content from a web page in Safari to any other application.

Apple Pencil

On the above numerous improvements Apple decided not to stop with iOS 11 for iPad. Stylus Apple Pencil with the advent of iOS 11 it has become a more versatile tool. Pencil has learned to make quick marks on PDFs and screenshots, create notes directly on the lock screen, and draw in apps like Notes and Mail.

Notes

The Notes app in iOS 11 now includes a document scanning feature. She in automatic mode identifies and scans a document, trims any unnecessary edges, eliminates glare and corrects irregularities.

QuickType keyboard

The standard QuickType keyboard in iOS 11 now supports one-handed mode. To activate the mode, you just need to hold down the globe or emoji button, after which the keys will move slightly to the right, which allows you to conveniently type text with one hand. Note that the mode only works on iPhone models With large displays(from 4.7 inches).

The iPad version of the standard keyboard in iOS 11 has received a small but very nice improvement. Symbols, numbers, letters and punctuation marks are now located on one keyboard. Thanks to this, users will be able to forget about the need to constantly switch between layouts. In iOS 11, to select the desired character, just swipe down on a key.

Latest innovation QuickType keyboards will definitely please residents of some CIS countries. iOS 11 adds new layouts for Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Georgian, Irish, Kannada, Malayalam, Maori, Oriya, Swahili and Welsh.

"Do not disturb the driver"

iOS 11 introduces a new feature - Do Not Disturb the Driver. It silences all incoming notifications on iPhone while the user controls vehicle. At active mode iPhone screen always remains dark, which eliminates all chances of being distracted by it while driving. To activate a feature, you must first add it to Control Center. Do Not Disturb Driver mode can also be turned on automatically, provided that the iPhone has the ability to connect to automotive system via Bluetooth.

Yesterday Apple finally rolled out the final release new firmware. Thus, now all users have the opportunity to install iOS 11 on their iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Naturally, during the process of downloading and installing updates, you could experience problems - this is quite acceptable, since in the first few hours the servers usually hang. By tradition, we publish on our resource the first reviews about iOS 11, the first impressions of the new firmware.

iOS 11 update

I can’t say that every year the installation situation global update somehow changes in better side. Quite the contrary. Users complain that installing the update takes a lot of nerves, especially at first, when you start downloading immediately after the release. To prevent this from happening, wait a while, or better yet, a few days, when the excitement subsides, and you will be happy. Well, now let's look at the reviews...

Reviews of iOS 11: is it worth installing?

Literally a few hours after the launch of the “final”, the editors began receiving reviews from regular readers:

iOS 11 installed quite quickly (2 hours after its official release) on both the iPhone and the tablet. I didn’t find any “brakes” in the system itself - neither on the phone nor on the tablet, except for one - switching between third party applications(game) to system notifications and other nonsense, I noticed a significant slowdown on the tablet (iPad Air), although there was no such problem on the iPhone 7... perhaps this is due to the hardware of the devices themselves or the games have not yet been “finished” to perfection... I don’t know , but the fact remains a fact... not critical of course, but still.

And so in general, general impression positive, switching between system applications very nice and fast))) apparently, the “guts” of the iPhone 7 provide such a perception effect))) regarding the battery... I’ll still test it, until I get the feeling that the iPhone worked longer on iOS 10.3.3..

If you disable wi-fi through this new panel control, then it will not turn off completely but goes into some kind of dormant mode, i.e. the phone will remain online. Take a closer look at the screenshots of the Wi-Fi icon. You have to put your phone in airplane mode or, alternatively, go into Settings every time. This bug is on iPhone 7 and iPad Air.


I’m writing to catch up... The battery began to “melt” its charge before our eyes, and without using geolocations, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth turned on. This did not happen with version 10.3.3, although when switching from iOS 9 to 10k, if my memory serves me correctly, there were also problems with fast discharge battery I hope they will fix it in future versions.

In my own way personal experience I want to note that there are no big complaints. In general, the system works quite stably at four plus. There are minimal bugs: for example, vibration is not always reproduced in silent mode upon arrival of notifications; Calendar alerts do not always work. I also noticed that the interface with the status bar froze after a call - the empty distance was too large. I also noticed that when calling audio FaceTime appeared new sound. Here are some more reviews:

I was very pleased new item management. This is truly what we have been waiting for for so long. But it still won’t be possible to fully customize it - there are still a number of restrictions.

A dock on an iPad is something. Since I don't have a Mac, I have to get used to the new panel. But I noticed that if you use it on an intuitive level, it makes it very easy.

I didn't have any problems with the installation. I did everything through tuna; I didn’t take any risks by air. So far everything seems to be fine with the battery, but we need to test it.

Updated iPad Air. So far the flight is normal. Everything works quickly, although I installed 10 on a clean iPad, it was a complete glitch and the system barely worked. Very cool keyboard, now you don’t have to change the layout, just pull the button with the letter down and voila, number or sign??????. Emoji looks old ((

Updated over the air on 6s, everything flies, amazing firmware.

Disappointed Bluetooth operation. You click on the icon in the control panel, Bt is turned on, my beats headphones x connected, click on the icon again, Bt does not disconnect, but simply breaks the connection. To turn off Bt, you have to go to Settings and turn it off there. It used to be the norm, I don’t understand why they did it now. But the saddest thing is that now the charge of my headphones is not displayed, it was convenient, I could see the charge level at any time, put the headphones on charge and not wait for them to die. Sadness. Well, there are still lags. iOS 11 is very crude.

Battery on iOS 11

The most painful topic for Apple users is how the battery behaves after iOS installations 11. So here the situation is ambiguous:

I installed iOS 11, it seemed to work fine, but the next day I noticed that the battery was quickly melting. It's possible that it will be fixed in the next builds.

The battery is discharging right before our eyes, until I realized what was going on and what was eating up the battery so much.

I didn’t notice anything unusual in the battery’s operation, but bugs remained in the system - the firmware would need to be improved.

There is no abnormal discharge of the iPhone, but it seems that the battery began to discharge a little faster.

A few more reviews that our editors received:

After installing iOS 11, the Weather widget stopped working for me. I went to Settings, turned off and turned on geolocation again, tried to change the city - it didn’t help. I can’t figure out what the problem is! Of course, this is not criminal, but I wouldn’t want to roll back.

The bluetooth and wifi buttons in my control center do not work. If I turn off Bluetooth, for example, the pair is completely broken. You have to go through the settings.
