This year marks the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
The much anticipated arrival of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X has already stirred the hearts of Apple fans and is likely to be a technological masterpiece. The rumor mill has begun and is already churning in the press. As a precursor to the iDevice hardware release Apple had a chance to demonstrate iOS 11 at the 2017 World Wide Developers Conference held at the San Jose Convention Center this month. iOS 11 is a free operating system upgrade that is scheduled to be released in Fall 2017 and sets a new benchmark for what is already the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. It opens up advanced features including the possibility for augmented reality in games and mobile applications. With iOS 11, iPhone and iPad become powerful intelligent devices.

7 年Just finished the iOS 11 Beta 1 update on my iPad mini 4. Download is 1.75 GB & installed in about 15 minutes. The advanced functionality in Control Center and the added features in Music are intriguing. iOS 11 is "snappier" than 10.3.2. The toolbar has the same layout as the OSX. I have immediate instant access to 9 apps. Go to Http://beta.applebetas.co/iOS to get access to the beta.
