We can't always predict what Apple's next big announcement will be, but we told you so. At WWDC 2017, the company announced iOS 11 - the latest major update to its mobile phone. operating system. The newest iteration adds numerous improvements that iPhone users will receive later this year, and the list of updates it will receive is even more significant.

New in Messages: Money Negotiations

First - messages. Since it's the most popular app on iOS, it makes sense for Apple to make it even better. And improvements come in the form of a better app tray.

Another tweak is improved iMessages synchronization between devices. Once you sign in to your new iOS device, your entire chat history will be transferred over. By the way, deleting something from a conversation goes away from all devices. With iOS 11, Apple is essentially moving your iMessages to the cloud, freeing up space on your device's local storage. And one minor feature you may have missed: The onscreen gets a one-handed mode, with the keys shrinking to the edge of the screen for better coverage.

With the Messages app in iOS 11, you can exchange money directly with the people you chat with. If you are both Apple Pay users. Payment system Apple is getting support for personal transactions, and they're accessible right from the Messages app. Convenient, right?

Siri, talk to me

Siri is also getting an update - most notably in the way it speaks. Her voice is more natural in iOS 11, and the stage demo sounded impressive. As before, Apple Assistant has a male voice option. It's also been expanded to make your virtual assistant sound less robotic.

Another amazing skill: Siri now has language translation abilities. The feature is still in beta, Apple clarifies, but they showed a pretty convincing demo of Siri translating a phrase from English to Chinese without a hitch. At launch, Siri will support translation from English into Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish with pronunciation of the translated phrase. Another language will be added in the coming months.

Control Center: redesign

Sure, voice control is pretty cool, but what you'll likely use a lot more is the new, redesigned Control Center. Just like before, you slide from the bottom of the screen to lift it up and you'll instantly see its new design. As before, the buttons support Force Touch for a richer experience—for example, using Force Touch on a slider makes it look bigger.

The camera and photos apps are also getting several new features in iOS 11. One of them is the ability to create cycles from Live Photos. Another is adding various effects to pictures taken using the Live Photo option. For example, the effect of long exposure.

Do not disturb

But there are times when you shouldn't really use your iPhone—like while driving. iOS 11 has an improved Do Not Disturb feature and it knows when to activate itself. Distractions are automatically blocked if you're driving - something your iPhone strives to detect as efficiently as possible using its sensors. And if someone texts you, Massages will respond with text, letting the other party know you'll read them later.

Cards now available indoors

And even when you finally reach your destination, iOS 11 can come in handy. iOS 11 has good update Apple maps by adding cards for shopping centers. The feature will initially launch in a few select markets: Boston, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles and New York, with hundreds more locations in the future.

Apple Home users, there's some exciting news for you. Speakers are the newest category of connected technology that is supported here. There's also the new AirPlay 2 protocol, allowing you to create a multi-speaker system across your home. And, of course, control them from your iPhone.

But one of the biggest announcements came at the end of the introduction of iOS 11. App Store is getting a huge redesign, making it easier to find apps and games. All the latest and most popular apps are now available in the new Today tab. Previews are displayed with rich visual effects, including video. Games are now listed in their own dedicated tab.

iPad: Now going up to 11!

As we said at the beginning, iOS 11 will be more useful for those who own an iPad. Apple is adding a number of productivity features, including enhanced drag and drop, as well as new way switch between applications.

It all starts with a redesigned app dock that's accessible from any screen that contains large quantity apps, and it smartly moves the ones you use frequently to the right. And if you want to open two apps side by side, just drag one of them out of the Dock. It's really cool that pairs of apps you open stay together in iOS 11.

Apple Pencil owners can also take advantage of new notes features, including the ability to take instant notes. This is done by simply tapping the pencil on the display when it shows the lock screen. Everything is then saved in the Notes app. And now this app is getting document scanning feature. Using your device's camera, you can take a photo of the document. It is then straightened out and presented to you for editing or saving.

When can I download or update to iOS 11?

And now the big question arises: when will iOS 11 launch? Apple plans to publicly publish its new OS this fall - in September, along with the next iPhones, most likely. But developers will receive pre-assembly new software to test your applications. The iOS 11 public beta is expected to be announced at a later date. Devices that will receive iOS 11 include the iPhone 5 and newer models, as well as the iPad Air and newer iPads. However, older models may not get all the features.

It is no exaggeration to say that a good half of humanity is looking forward to the release of the new, eleventh version. At least this statement can be applied to that part of the human race that sympathizes with this product, as well as to their opposite camp. Both will be interested in seeing a full review of iOS 11, collected from facts and rumors about this interesting topic. We provide this opportunity.

Having become familiar with full review operating system iOS 11, you will learn not only rumors, but also facts, as well as expectations

The only thing we can say with more certainty than anything else is when the new iOS 11 update will be released.

The fact is that for the last few years (since 2009) this has always happened (Worldwide Developers Conference - a worldwide conference of developers on Apple platforms). Since this has already become a tradition, we expect the possibility of presenting iOS 11 in June 2017.

Accordingly, soon after this the beta version will be released (the day after the presentation), testing, and in September (again, if you follow tradition) it will be possible to compare expectations from eleven with the real version. So for now, the release date for iOS 11 on devices is September 2017, but in June 2017 Apple will present it at the WWDC developer conference.

Expected changes from analysts

Interface. Since at one time the top ten made changes only to the design of notifications and widgets, no radical design changes in the interface are expected now.
Optimization and energy consumption. In this regard, the company is constantly improving its product - with each new version speed increases, and the need for energy resources decreases. In all likelihood, this trend will continue.
Expectations from iOS 11 - which devices Cupertino will support. Surely such gadgets as the iPad 4, iPad Mini 2 and iPhone 5 will be cut off from support. And since Apple has officially supported its devices for three years, the iPhone 6, 6S and 7 will absolutely support the revolutionary version.
It is expected, but somewhat doubtful, that a dark theme will appear in the interface.
Advanced Siri with a humanized voice.

Experts presented their expectations for iOS 11 - this is the interface, power consumption, theme and advanced Siri

What should the iOS revolution get rid of and what new should it bring?

Since the eleventh version is expected to revolutionize the mobile platform, it is logical to assume not only the emergence of new advantages in functionality and design, but also the abandonment of “relics” of the past. What iOS 10 users would like to get rid of and what they would like to see in new iOS 11:

Unchanged "obsolete" home screen”, which needs to be “refreshed”.
Static icons. I would like to see them animated (reasoned). For example, a message icon could indicate the author of the latest message, a map could indicate the current location, and a weather icon could indicate its state corresponding to its current position on the map.
Inability to work with fonts.
Absence black theme. For some reason, many people need it in design - well, there’s just no life. And so much so that they want to see at least applications dark.
Removing the volume indicator from the center of the screen, which appears when you want to make it quieter.
No ability to block access to programs.
Lack of multi-screen (multi-window) functionality.
Adding new functions to the “Control Center” for convenience, equipping it with more flexible settings.
Of the three “Control Center” tabs, the design of one.
Increased functionality for 3D Touch.
Possibility of renaming for Bluetooth devices.
Adding numbers to the alphabetic keyboard.
Adding the ability to select “Default” devices.
Adding the ability to clear the cache.
Implementation of the ability to add live wallpapers “from the outside”.
Support for GIF images in the Photos app.
Ability to change camera settings from the application.
Returning the swipe unlock method.
Speeding up the process of exiting programs.
Ability to install icons in the desired location on the screen.
Ability to sort applications by the amount of traffic consumed.
Implementation of the clipboard.
Installing a “Step back” button in a more convenient place for using the device with one hand.
Setting up the ability to make group calls for video conferencing.
Adding RAW format support to Camera.
Adding the ability to listen to music from the previous stop.
Full support for Bluetooth function.
Opening the API interface for developers.
Equipped with the ability to record screen.
Creating a separate .

One-handed control mode

I would also like to say something about the one-handed control mode.

Apple strictly follows one unshakable rule - the ability to control the device with only one hand. Related to this is the ability to double tap Home button enter the device into Reachability mode (lower the screen to the base).

According to the famous hacker Thornton-Smith, based on the analysis of the codes iOS company Apple was going to achieve keyboard control with one finger (swipe left and then the “More” button). Moreover, he managed to make this option work on an iOS simulator.

According to him, this one is also available on iOS 10.

Thus, there is an assumption that specified function is being tested and may appear with a new version of iOS.

The one-handed control feature is one of the most desirable new features in iOS 11

Implementation of augmented reality in the camera

Many companies have taken a course towards developing augmented reality technologies (AR - “extended reality”). Augmented reality is created by introducing additional sensory sensors into the field of perception.

In this regard, the Business Insider resource recently reported that the Cupertino team was looking into the possibility of integrating such an innovation into the “Camera” mode on the iPhone. The company has acquired several startups for this purpose.

At an early stage of development, it is planned to teach the camera to identify an object when it is pointed and recognize people’s faces.

iOS 11 arrives this fall with powerful new features for iPhone and iPad

The biggest software update in iPad history, plus new augmented reality features and hundreds of other new features

SAN JOSE, California - Apple today introduced iOS 11, a major update to the world's most advanced mobile operating system that includes new features and hundreds of new features for iPhone and iPad, available this fall.

Augmented reality on iPhone and iPad

With ARKit, developers can leverage Newest technologies to create virtual content on top of real-world images.

Apple introduces a new platform for developers. It helps you create high-quality augmented reality apps for iPhone and iPad that use the built-in camera, powerful processors and motion sensors on iOS devices. With ARKit, developers can leverage the latest computer vision technologies to create compelling, detailed virtual content on top of real-world images. Interactive gaming, shopping, industrial design and many other areas are expanding into new level realism.

Siri becomes even more useful and natural

Siri is the world's most popular virtual assistant. Every month, Siri is accessed by more than 375 million devices in 36 countries. Thanks to the latest advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, the new Siri voices (male and female) have become even more natural and expressive. Intonation, voice timbre, speech rate and semantic stress are adjusted as you speak, and English words and phrases can be translated into Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. It's not just Siri's voices that have improved: on-device learning technologies have made the assistant more personal. Siri makes suggestions based on your browsing history in Safari, News, Mail, Messages, and other apps. For example, Siri learns from your browsing history what places and topics you're interested in, and suggests them when you type in Mail or Messages.

Professional features for Camera and Photo

iOS 11 lets you take portraits with optical image stabilization, True Tone flash, and HDR. Every photo now looks even more professional. Live Photos are more expressive with new Loop and Bounce effects that create looping videos, while long exposures allow you to capture extremely slow motion. Memories in Photos are optimized for portrait and landscape orientation. Now even more memories are automatically created, such as photos of pets and birthdays. In iOS 11, Apple introduces a new, highly efficient HEIF image file format that reduces the file size of all photos taken on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Make room

iOS 11 takes up to 1.5 GB depending on the device, which means your device should have about 2 GB free space. If there is little memory space, then delete unnecessary applications and files (or upload them to cloud storage).

Create a backup

If your device has important files, photos or videos, always follow backup data. Create system backup, applications and your personal data, including correspondence, photos, etc. This can be done with using iCloud in the device settings or from using iTunes on PC. While creating backup copy in iTunes, Safari bookmarks will also be saved, mail accounts, notes, call history and calendar events.

32-bit programs are not supported. Find out which apps you'll lose

All 32-bit applications are not compatible with the update, so a large number of programs will no longer be available for download after a system update. To check the compatibility of the programs you have installed, go to “Settings” > “General” > “About device” > “Programs”. All applications from the list that appears will not work with the new OS. These programs will remain on the device after the update, but will not work until the developer updates them

Installation process

Now, when the update to iOS 11 is released, go to the device settings, go to the “Software Update” section and check for the update. After downloading it, you can install iOS 11 immediately or later. During the update process, you cannot use the device, and after the installation is complete, the gadget will reboot and will turn on longer than usual.

You can also install the update through iTunes - connect the device with a cable to the computer and run a check for the update, then click “Download and install”.

When will iOS 11.3 be released? Who will tell us?

Finally, Tim Cook spoke. This moment has come; numerous complaints and lawsuits against Apple forced the company to make concessions. CEO The company finally revealed in an interview plans to fix bugs related to slowing down the iPhone. It will be the most important iOS update this year...

In an interview with ABC, Cook said that Apple would compromise and do something that "hasn't been done before." He explained that starting with next month's beta (iOS 11.3): “We're going to give people the ability to see the health of their battery. So it will be very, very transparent.”

Users themselves will be able to choose what is in it for them this moment important: performance or stability. By turning off automatic performance reduction, the processor speed will increase by 25-30%, but the iPhone will turn off in extreme conditions (Cold, heat, heavy long-term load).

Tim: buy it new iPhone, Please.

You can also turn the feature on and off at your convenience. For example, you are playing Injastis 2 at home, but the game is slowing down, turn off the processor blocker, and turn it on when you go outside in cold weather.

What would it roughly look like (I would like)

Cook is right, this is unprecedented. No other phone maker provides detailed health data for its smartphones. And Apple has certainly never given users anything like this level of control over their iPhone performance and stability.

For those asking, when will iOS 11.3 be released? Cook didn't say it explicitly, but he hinted at introducing this feature in iOS 11.3 (since iOS 11.2.5 already has ). According to him, first there will be a version for developers, which was released in February, the final version was released on March 29.

It's a good news. But this is not enough - and here's why...

Why do batteries start to deteriorate so quickly?

The company blames natural degradation on lithium-ion batteries, regardless of why rivals say such measures are unnecessary. Samsung has confirmed that its batteries can retain 95% power for at least two years.

Apple also did not explain why the first six generations of iPhone were not affected (even original iPhone 2007 had lithium ion battery 1400 mAh capacity) or why stability "protective" measures were not required in the first nine generations of iOS (the slowdown began with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S in iOS 10.2.1, released in January 2017).

Apple has released it to the public, what's new?

Apple is not transparent at all!

Let's be honest, because all of Tim Cook's statements about transparency are lies. The only reason The reason Apple is doing this is because it got caught. Additionally, speaking to ABC, Cook appears to be rewriting history:

"When Apple released iOS 10.2.1, we did say there was a (slowdown), but I don't think many people paid attention to it."

I asked Apple's press office to help me with this issue since I don't understand what Cook is saying (I'll update the post if I get a response). But I paid attention to iOS releases, and in 10.2.1 there was nothing about battery slowdown or anything like that.

Here is the description for iOS update 10.2.1: "iOS 10.2.1 includes bug fixes and improved security for your device."

Less than a year after Apple released iOS 11.2 in December 2017, the update added a potential performance slowdown for the iPhone 7. The release states: “iOS 11.2 comes with a new Apple Pay Cash feature for sending and receiving money from friends and family with Apple Pay. This update also includes bug fixes and improvements."

Yes, Tim, where is it clearer? Perhaps Cook is an alien and on his home planet this means: “bug fixes and improvements”, which means “we have reduced processor performance by 30% to protect against unexpected shutdowns” and everything is clear to him, but not to people.

How did Apple increase iPhone sales?

Despite Cook's dubious statements and primitive explanations. Apple has not openly told users since the release of iOS 10.2.1 that it is degraded iPhone performance, the speakers may act up and the camera flash may not work, and a $79 battery can fix that.

Without this knowledge, how many users have mistakenly spent over $700 on new iPhone? It's impossible to know for sure, but one analyst estimates iPhone sales will drop by a factor of three over six months in 2018 as owners replace their batteries instead of buying a new one.

Many who bought an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X last year switched from the 6 and 6s to the new models because the old ones were slow. Users did not know that all they needed to do was replace the battery.

Meanwhile, government investigations continue in the US, France, Italy, China, Brazil and Korea, with 32 lawsuits (at the time of publication) from 17 US states pushing for Right to Repair legislation.

So iOS 11.3 is indeed a big update. Obviously it's big for iPhone owners, but equally big for Apple, because it was done right. Analyzing Apple, it becomes clear that after the death of the founder's father (Steve Jobs), stagnation (stagnation of innovation) began in the company, but what do you think about this?

When will it be possible to install iOS 11. New App Store
