Rehabilitated?


That's just a bullshit word.
the new files app lets you use non-icloud storage p easily as well, so if you are a dropbox guy you can store all of your poo poo there where previously that was difficult to do on mobile.

new files is good.

waiiiit a tic. upgrading to ios11 effectively resets to factory settings and forces you to use a backup right?

if i'm going to give my 6s to my wife to use i'm just going to wait and set it up under her account/backup after upgrading after i get my 8 working under mine then. i don't want to have to set up ios 11 on this 6s twice

ios 11 is certainly snappier and quick loading on my 7 plus

but jesus gently caress the larger icons and the disgusting inbox/messages home screens are terrible

lol what the gently caress even is half this poo poo? the notification shade now looks like my lock screen, but isn't, and swiping to the left brings up the camera an a way that can only be exited back to the notification screen, which you then have to exit again to get to your home screen

also the quick settings panel is full screen and looks like that inventory sorting minigame

i just did, it bent my phone

nah it's fine, a couple of animations seem a little slower, like swiping left to the widgets. the status bar text on my home screen is some sort of grey that makes it harder to read the time, used to be black for my wallpaper, dunno why they messed with that

ok cool. I was reading through the ars review and for some reason got the impression that you had to restore from backup. was probably skimming too fast

apparently the distance between iOS major updates is just enough that I can't remember how it went last time

not in the dialer, or the lock screen, which also both look different from eachother

so there's at least three distinct designs of keypad now

what do you mean, exactly? manually switching between them or between coverage areas?

this update was way easier than I thought. seems quicker on the 6s
