    I checked 5 minutes ago and iTunes was telling me that my iPhone 6 had the most up to date software. Will check again now so!

    I downloaded it to iTunes, when I went to install on my iPad mini2 it said it needs 770MB free space, had to clear out some junk to make room for it. Now installing.

    GM is the same as the public release. Phone states that software is up to date on iOS 11...

    As expected, servers must be taking a hammering. 30 minutes in and there is only 315MBs downloaded so far. 4 hours to go apparently :pac:

    Took me 4 minutes to download and that was about 10 minutes ago. Phone is currently updating.

    I'm thinking it could be my internet connection. I just turned it off and back on, and it seems quiet slow even with just general browsing so that is probably the reason for the long download :(

    That was the fastest download for me by far. It literally downloaded in 2-3 minutes. The install was a little longer.

    Going to take some time getting used to the new scroll speed in Safari, and the new notifications pull down.

    The general consensus from people with the GM version on Reddit seems to be "avoid" in it's current state

    This could be the first time I don't update on release night

    I have the GM and it's fine. No issues.

    Why trust people on Reddit?

    I am very disappointed with the customisation options for the new control centre.

    The previous incarnation with its two screens and huge redundant buttons incensed me. But why now only allow the bottom four icons to be customised?

    I never use rotate lock, screen mirroring or do not disturb, but I can't remove them. Instead I'm stuff with tiny podcast/music controls that leave no room for error between play/pause and skip 15s (especially when driving).

    Would it have been so hard to let you remove the unused stuff and give more prominence to relevant icons?

    I've been using the iPhone GM for the last week. Mostly fine bar the usual lack of polish that we expect from point-oh releases. Battery life on my 6s is noticeably poorer by an hour or so. Most important thing is probably to make sure any old abandonware apps you are still using are 64-bit before upgrading as they won't work in iOS 11.

    You could lock the phone whilst driving and use the lock screen controls then. Much bigger.

    I think the majority of people do use DND and Screen rotation (I certainly couldn't manage know without DND at night) but it is off that you cannot remove them if you want. Suppose that's the Apple way that infuriates Fandroids.

    The rest of the new control centre is great and you can customise more than the last 4, as in you can add to them.

    I don't get why mobile data on/off is so prominent in control centre. Who on earth actually turns mobile data on and off?

    Handy for when your data add-on runs out. Some networks prey on this. Or if you just need to limit your usage, like if you're travelling.

    Roaming is a different setting.

    Who has an iPhone with a low data limit? What do these people do at the end of the month, just wait until they're always on wifi?!

    My notifications are all over the place at the moment. Sometimes getting double, sometimes not at all. Watch isn't vibrating half the time.

    Installed the GM on my work phone - 5s. Device got a little warm during the install.

    Personal devices. iPod Touch (public beta) always goes to 99%, never 100% charged - been like that throughout the beta. Reminder still fecked, have been for some time. iPad Air 2 - will see how it goes.

    When the controls appear on the lockscreen, they're great. But they often don't - like maybe if you accessed something other than music/podcast last. Then you need the control panel.

    Can see 11.0.1 being rolled out soon, it’s a tad buggy.

    Something feels off aesthetically with this one. It’s not as clean ans streamlined as the more recent iOS. Control Center is messy too.

    Notifications are grand for me. I turn them off for most apps.

    Noticing an increase in speed (iPhone 6) with some functions.

    New App Store feels like an overbearing Ikea catelogue.

    Waiting for watch and iPad to update.

    Oh but delighted they moved the full stop when searching!

    Few of the lads down here are on terrible tarrifs, and they won't move up for an extra fiver a month, half way through the month you can't contact them any way apart from SMS or a call, no imessage, whatsapp, FB messenger, nothing.


    Drives me feckin insane.

    I firmly believe to get worth out of a top of the range smartphone you need to
    1. Have enough space to not be constantly deleting/shifting stuff to make room for the next photo
    2. Have a data plan that lets you view/download what you want, whenever you want.

    I get 6GB a month data on my 35pm plan, I usually use about half of it each month. I did notice today though that new customers get 10GB on the same plan.

    Don't really know what the point is having an iPhone with a low data plan.

    It's reddit though.

    I often find that people often just post negative stuff and don't say anything about the good things. Happens here a lot too.
