iOS 11 beta is now available to the general public. If you are hesitant to update iOS 11 or not, I'm sure you can make a decision after reading this article..
As before, everyone is desperately waiting for Apple's next masterpiece. So, today we share the information of iOS 11 with you.
Before you start, you need to ensure that your iDevice supports iOS 11. Here is what is supported: iPhone 5S, SE, 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, iPad 5, iPad Air, Air 2, Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 4, iPad Pro 12.9 inch, 10.5 inch, 9.7 inch, and iPod Touch 6G..
The advantages of iOS 11
1. Camera moves to a new level
The camera is more powerful and versatile iOS 11. Unlike iOS 10, the camera app can scan QR code directly. Photos become more expressive with three new modes - Loops, Bounce and Long Exposure. In addition, there are more filters for your choices. The portraits are more expressive and natural. You can become an expert photographer with the help of professional grade filters.
2. Mid-size photos with the same quality
There are two new camera formats in iOS 11: HEVC and HEIF. It is estimated that these photo formats allow you to save 50% of storage without losing image quality. Sounds awesome, doesn't it? Now you can take twice as many photos in your iPhone..
3. Send or receive money easily
With Apple Pay, you can send and receive money through iMessages or Siri very soon. After authentication, the money can be sent or received easily as you send a message to your friend.
4. Customizable control center
Finally, users can customize the Control Center on iOS 11. With the redesigned Control Center, you can change the settings as you want. Do you want to be ready when inspiration arrives? Add Voice Memos. Do you want to open the dining room lights with a click? Add the house controls. Or use 3D Touch in Control Center to unlock more controls.
5.A new App Store
The App Store has remained unchanged for about nine years, so users might get tired of the same interface. That's why a new App Store comes with a whole new design and perspective. To help you easily find favorite apps or games, Apple is creating new templates. Additionally, there are tabs like Today tab, Games tab, and Applications tab which includes most of the content shown for you.
6. Apple Music with friends
Do you feel lonely when listening to music with your iPhone? Now Apple Music is getting more and more social. After subscribing to your friends, you can listen to their shared playlists, albums, and stations they listen to often. Maybe you can find a friend who has the same taste with you in Apple Music.
7. One-handed keyboard
Would you find yourself useless when trying to type something on iPhone with one hand? Sometimes you hold a cup of coffee or drink a smoothie, but you have to reply to a message. It's a little embarrassing. However, this drawback was solved with a one-handed QuickType keyboard. You can touch the Earth icon and start enjoying one-handed typing.
The disadvantages of iOS 11
1. 64-bit support only
Apple has officially removed support for 32-bit apps on iOS 11 in WWDC and is persuading developers to release a 64-bit update. Therefore, not all 32-bit apps can work on iOS 11.
2. Potential lost data could come back
It is normal to lose data after a failed update. It's a disaster. So, be sure to backup your iPhone / iPad in advance. Even things are not expected, you can still recover the lost data. In addition, we recommend that you upgrade your device from iOS through iTunes. It's more stable and secure.
As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to reject iOS 11. However, iOS 11 won't launch until this fall. Don't rush to upgrade your device. Wait until all bugs are resolved.
