One thing I haven’t been able to figure out (unless it was changed) is how to access Spotify controls in command centre like I used to be able to do. It seems like it’s just for the music app now

I had to delete the Apple Music app to get my Google Play Music in there. I can always just redownload it with a simple click if I decide to switch over, so no need to have it there hogging my control centre.


Really enjoying the new scrolling. So fast. Reminds me of when I had my Note 4.
 
Yeah, the day that TouchArcade wrote of the end of 32-bit compatibility was the end of investing in iPhone gaming, for me. People now would rather watch stupid ads that eat their data, than pay a fair price for a quality game.

In the end I upgraded my iPad Pro to iOS 11, but am leaving my iPhone 6 with the old OS so I can still play all my good old games.

From what I hear, iOS 11 is a bigger deal for iPads anyway.

I saw Spotify tweeted about it. I originally tried your method but it didn't work. I had to log out of Spotify, restart my phone and log back in. It worked perfectly. I did delete Apple Music, however
 
Some random pros and cons:

Cons:

- notification center
- picking weird WiFi networks (why would you choose my weakest one just because it has a 5G on it if I'm in my bedroom?)
- really don't like that little bar at the bottom in iMessage
- having to dig into settings to change everything to the way I had it in iOS 10, such as notification previews
- battery seems a bit weaker but I'll wait to judge before the background optimization is done after a day or so
- feels a bit unresponsive on first taps for some apps but this may have been an issue for the first 24 hours or so because of all the optimization and background processes happen as usual with new updates
- smaller music player on lock screen
- these god damn big bold letters at the top of every app -- I know which app I opened, stop eating up so much space
- no more 3D touch from the left hand side to multitask.

Pros:

- feels faster when it's working, which is more often in the past few hours
- control center customization
- 3D touch and redesign
- screenshots
- update to apps such as notes
- files app
- new scrolling
- the only positive about notification center is it'll hide older notifications and only show them when I swipe up... but that means a second swipe up in order to reach my control center from the lock screen
- new app switcher/multitask screen looks a bit nicer
- ability to only allow apps to use my location while I'm using it... for every app. There's no reason an app needs to always have access to my location, thank God Apple added that.
- volume bar for videos

It doesn't feel like the stability is all the way there just yet for this update. It sort of feels like a real good final beta release but there's still some bugs and stuttering. It's okay, but I'd wait for 11.0.1 for all the bug fixes and whatnot if you haven't updated yet.

iMessage backup to iCloud and Apple Pay in iMessage isn't available until iOS 11.1 and there's rumours the app switcher by 3D Touching the left side of the screen will make a return too.
 
Screen recording is going to be a godsend for helping old people troubleshoot when you're not with them in person :laugh:
 
So toggling bluetooth "off" in the control center doesn't actually turn bluetooth off. It just stops searching if it's not toggled on in the control center.
 
This update is seriously making me want to go back to android. Apple has a tendency to add new big features but completely screw up the little details. Thins like not being able to sort reviews in the store anymore, the big volume box, the downgrade of the music app over the years and various other things. The more I use iOS 11 the more I’m not a fan of it.
 
I don't get the control center hate.

I like not having to swipe left to control volume and music.
 
Series 3 Apple Watch gets a 5/10 from The Verge LOL is this bizarro world?

I read this and will probably cancel my order until the get it figured out. Seems like the watch had a ton of issues connecting without the phone, Apple blames the software updates.

Also didn't know you have to get a side plan with ATT for an additional $10 a month. Those issues make me want to wait.
 
Most of my problems with 11 are nit picky stuff. Like how they moved the toggle for auto brightness from the display and brightness section into the accessibility section for seemingly no reason.

Between the Series 3 watch and the new ATV, the Verge isn't giving terrific reviews.

I've been mildly considering something to replace my Roku 3, it works fine most of the time, but audio likes to cut out every so often, and the only way I know to fix it, is to restart the puck.

Don't care much about 4k content in all honesty, but it's basically the only way to get HDR - my eyes can't really tell the difference between 1080p and 4k from 8 feet away from the TV.

The HW of the ATV sounds mostly good, but the SW seems a bit rushed/half-baked OTB.

In the end, I may just stick with my Vizio's Chromecast (supports HDR) and eventually get a 4k Bluray player.
 
In a few weeks when my contract for my 6s is finished I'm going to upgrade and get an iPhone 8. Anyway I'm wondering is if the case I'm currently using will fit it or do I need to purchase a brand new one?
