google it. lots of tutorials out there and no need to put it on a comment feed. do your google research first before you look for solutions on a iOS download link page. not really useful. quicker response when you just research it yourself. cheers bud and maybe learn proper English grammar when trying to explain your questions, it does help to get clear responses when you clearly portray your questions.
WARNING! There seems to be a bug with CarPlay in iOS 11 that prevents audio from playing properly after you have made or received a phone call. This started with the beta just before the GM was released. The GM build is the same build as the released version of iOS 11. I restored yesterday without restoring my backup, and the problem persists. You can only make or receive one phone call, and then sound from Music and Audiobooks stops. I believe this bug also affects making additional phone calls. The media will resume playing, but there will be no sound.
Updated my iPhone 6S few hours after release. Great features I must admit. But battery drainage sucks. It really does.
Any advise, I am ready to try.
Apple really needs to fix this within hours.
disable airdrop
I’m not experiencing battery drain, but you could try turning off auto-updates of apps. I do this every year for about 2 weeks after a major iOS update. All of the developers pushing out updates to their apps makes my iPhone download updates all day, and that will definitely drain the battery for a while. After about 2 weeks, there’s no issue with leaving the auto-update function on.
If you use Exchange for Corporate mail on your iPhone, dont upgrade as Apple released iOS11 with a known bug that breaks the connection to Exchange – Terrible QA for this release.
Apple says they are ‘working on a fix’. No ETA. Here’s their latest update on the issue: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208136
I use Exchange ActiveSync connections with accounts hosted by Kerio Connect, and they work fine with iOS 11. Therefore, this seems to only be an Exchange or O365 issue.
45 minutes on my iPad Air. No fuss.
Same with me. It does run a little sluggish at times on the first ipad air, but generally ok.
NEVER EVER do I do a major update on the first or even second release. I research, see how others have faired, and wait until at least the 3rd release before I even think about updating. Unlike OSX, once you do an iOS update it is nearly impossible to revert.
Think before you click!!
Apple is so sh1tty nowadays, whatĀ“s the point on endless beta tests when after you flash a IPSW the first thing you see is a crash-log at iPhone Alanytics? People get queued in line for this?
Thank you! I am not going to update my iphone 6S+ to iOS11 any more as it is reported to be buggy. I will wait for 11.1 to happen then will update.
Show us links to those “buggy” reports.

When I upgraded my iPad, it asked for my MacBook Pro password. Where does it store this info so I can change or delete it?
It asked for your apple ID password.
It did, but it ALSO asked for my MacBook Pro password.
There have been no other reports of it asking for unneeded passwords like one’s external computer. Can you think of any reason why it would ask for your macbook pro’s password? There isn’t one. I’m thinking you imagined this happening, misremembered it, or are making this up.
Thanks for your useful advice. Next time go kick a puppy instead.
ARNI… You are definitely wrong on this one. I too had this happen on all 3 of my iOS devices. they asked for the password for my MBP once and the other time they asked for the 4 digit passcode from my iPad Air 2 when updating my iPhone. So sorry to say but you sir have put your foot in your mouth as the saying goes.
it actually does if all your apple devices are linked to your icloud account. this is a feature that apple does in order to secure all your devices. there’s no problem if it asks for you macbook password. it just means all your devices are safe. i find this feature very helpful to cause i own 4 apple devices.
Apple refuse to show the data size o an update.
Finally found a way to see the size of an apple download from the links above.
Thanks.
Why do Apple do this, anyone know?
They do show the size. It appears right under the āiOS 11ā title and above the description. At least it does when you check for the update OTA. For most devices itās around 1.8-1.9 GB
I installed IOS 11 on my Iphone6 plus but … the background of the screen when exiting an app remain grey! Any suggestion?
At least three of my most used apps will be incompatible with iOS 11. An article should be done on which apps will be lost.
Good reminder. Here is an article detailing how to check for 32-bit apps which are incompatible with iOS 11

In the IPSW list you’ve got iPhone 6 and 6S sharing the same images. Is this right?
