iOS 11

iOS 11

The subject OS upgrade for the iPhone and iPad has been released, and you've probably already installed it. If you'd like to learn more about the new features offered in this release, read the following two articles:

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3209146/apple-ios/the-50-best-features-in-apples-ios-11.html#tk.ctw-infsb

The second article above was written before iOS 11 was released, so it's possible some of the features mentioned didn't make it into the final release. Anyway, you may be overwhelmed by all the new features, and how to use them. I'm slowly working my way through them, and I'm overwhelmed.

iOS 11

If you plan to update to iOS 11 this fall when it's available, just be aware that it will no longer support 32-bit apps. What this means to you, possibly, is that you might have some apps that you use frequently that will no longer work until they're upgraded to 64-bit. You can find out which apps will no longer be supported by going to Settings>General>About>Applications. There you'll see the apps that are presently not compatible with iOS 11.

For example, both my iPhone and iPad have quite a list of apps that will no longer work if they're not upgraded to 64-bit. I'll just patiently wait and see what the developers of these apps decide to do.
