I haven't kept up with any of the iOS11 changes and just jumped on the upgrade cold turkey. What am I in store for? Anything awful?

Apple hasn't gone into specifics which of the USB-C power adapters they currently sell (29W, 61W, and 87W) will let you get the "50% charge in 30 minutes" that they quoted in the keynote. I'm sure we'll have solid numbers in a few days.

I imagine for an iPhone, the 29W will be more than sufficient since it can fast charge an iPad Pro 12.9".

Sorry, guy.
In Chicago in meetings (usually in Seattle). Nothing yet. (OTA.)

[Edit] I'm on 10.3.3 but I may be opted into beta. Would I see major updates? (11?) or do I need to "opt out"?

Ars Technica's initial reviews of iOS11 on a 5S alleviate that concern, however.

Everything in iOS 11 has been really nice. The only complaints I've seen are that there are certain things it doesn't fix like Music/lockscreen glitches and missing 3D touch multitasking.

It makes everything so nice and smooth.

Hnngh, the home button is back to being too quick to unlock and jump to home screen. I used to be able to disable "Rest finger to unlock" to get that first gen Touch ID feel; using the home button as a simple display toggle if I wanted to (e.g. scrubbing through podcasts/music, checking notifications.) Now it just ignores that setting and zips to the home screen with the slightest touch. I feel like this is a bug.

Also, having the same background image for lock screen and home screen is kinda pointless now that there's an ugly blurred/frosted panel animation transitioning between the two. I can't even tell what that's supposed to be since it unlocks so fast.

I love the Bounce effect for Live Photos, makes loopy loops so easy.

I got 2 more GB of free space according to Settings > General > About.

Killing background apps seems a LOT faster.

No reason to buy it new when you can get them for less than $300 used now. If you're buying through Apple or a carrier, just get the 7 if you don't want the 8.

Android and iOS are homogeneous enough these days that swapping back and forth between the two is relatively painless as long as you aren't my mom. Every Google app/service I can think of is available on iOS, but if you wanted to go whole hog and transition over to Apple services for cloud stuff, you'd enjoy somewhat better integration. That'd be the only hurdle I can think of, and it's not so much difficulty, just tedium.

Definitely consider a refurbished 6S instead of a new one. It's as good as new (new battery, shell, and anything else needing to be new) and provides the same 1-year warranty. Dunno if they come with the headphones, but the 6S was before the whole lol no headphone jack thing, so it's standard 3.5mm jack.

Unfortunately my freedom-hating country does not offer refurbished iphones, only ipads, ipods and macs :v: I guess buying refurbished from non-apple stores is not a god idea? Fwiw, I could buy a 128gb 6s, unlocked, from my provider for 620€.

Go to General - Accessibility - Home Button - click "rest finger to open"

Oh yea, I imagine I'm an outlier in this behavior, since getting unlocked and to the home screen as fast as possible is a good thing. I just enjoyed dumbing it down for the 2nd gen Touch ID sensor, for the many times I just wanted to see the lock screen. I didn't mind it adding something like a 0.25-second delay to get to the home screen. I'll just have to get used to using the side button to toggle the display from here on out.

This update reminded me I've been using the same wallpaper since iOS 8, the one with a closeup of part of the moon. Now I'm kind of thinking I shouldn't update it because I'm not sure how I could get it back.

I guess I could just google it if I ever wanted it again.

I am a very boring person.

Thats pretty close to 7 money though right? I’d rather have newer hardware, or else buy a used one for more like 300 euro.

If you haven’t used it, you’re gonna be disappointed:

Can only edit the single line of app shortcuts, cannot get rid of Apple Play toggle, Nightmode toggle etc.

And the music controls are baffling relegated to a tiny square that needs expanding.

Can we do one of these post strings? It's been a long time. This has been my wallpaper and basic layout for years. I don't purge my inbox or texts if I read the preview. Usually texts from companies. Which are most of the texts I get :(

I don't pay attention to red numbers anymore.

also i don't use 90% of the apps on my phone. MusicID hasn't been opened in ages, nor has Sleep Cycle. Guess it's time to purge.
