Got my replacement iPhone 7 back from Apple and holy poo poo, the gap on both sides of the iOS 11 landscape keyboard is ridiculous. What the hell is going on? Is this a bug or what?

the biggest wtf of ios 11 is definitely the keyboard. i feel like there should be like a loving intro video for a change this drastic. they've also completely shuffled some keys around afaict, which drives me loving insane

it's been a while since I've restored from backup but previously if you did it via wire from iTunes it wouldn't really re-download apps, it would just transfer them from iTunes right

well now iTunes has had apps carved out of it. does this mean the apps have to be redownloaded OTA no matter what?

I guess I should do a test wipe and restore at home on fast WiFi, just in case

I'm really curious what this will mean for people who move between countries. If you make purchases or downloads in one country, then move your account to another country, you can't download the apps from the first country anymore. You have to purchase or download them in the new country (if they are available). Of course, if you still have the apps downloaded and saved they'll still work just fine. Now that you can't backup or save apps through iTunes, there's no way to keep those apps when you get a new phone...

best part of iOS 11 is the new volume overlay that doesn't block your video when you change volume. thanks to the one dude who got fed up with waiting for design feedback and just did it.

yea i noticed that too, it's about time

btw there's a subtle difference in control center between bluetooth/wifi really disabled vs fake disabled. really disabled the icon has a slash through it not just uncolored



you know how some websites use annoying fixed-position side tabs that hover and obscure the text you're trying to read? best case, the notch hides it. worst case, it's two layers of loving notches

it's too bad because the iPhone 8 is really good. the glass gives decent enough grip that's it's pretty much fine without a case, almost as easy to hold caseless as a 4/5

if the app is available in the country you move to, it should just automagically download them no prob

His post was about when it's not...

Also they pull apps for no good reason sometimes and there's no way to keep them if something happens to your phone.

yea its going to make a good base design for the iPhone SE2, which will be hailed in 2019 as the last perfect iPhone before The Notch, to say nothing of the decision to move the lightning port to a magic mouse-style rear configuration for 2018

I think the rule is you still get updates but no fresh installs if app is not in your country. so if you restore your phone from a previous backup (including iCloud) you'll still have those apps but if you start clean you can't download them again.
