Quite a big update. 1.93 GB for the 7

 

[gwhizkids]

Much faster install process. Did not have 10 minutes of “preparing update”. I wonder if that’s because it’s the full build and not an increment?

 

[MrGimper]

2.1GB for the 8 Plus
2.02GB for the iPad 10.5 Pro

Seems like the full installer rather than a delta update is what's being pushed out OTA.

 

[thatJohann]

Probably the GM

 

[atlchamp]

installed on my iphone 8

 

[MrGimper]

No letter at end of build number either, so even more likely the GM

 

[pedrohenrique]

2.1GB for the 8 Plus
2.02GB for the iPad 10.5 Pro

2.08 GB for the 7 Plus

 

[chillip]

Public beta in a few hours?

 

[ttam110]

GM release given the build #. Probably will be released next week if i were to guess, given 10.1 timeline

 

[atlchamp]

anyone want me to check a bug? If so, tell me step by step how to replicate it

Must be the GM given the build number doesn’t have a letter at the end

Well that was quick, four days after releasing the third beta version

Thats what I thought...

Well sure.. in-application speaker clipping/popping

Load app like Sky Guide or Sudoku ME.
Volume 50%+
Keep selecting items (stars and planets in Sky Guide or random tiles in Sudoku) and see if the speaker clipping sounds accompanies the normal/expected selection response sound.

Thank you

No Apple Pay Cash

 

[luismedina]

No Apple Pay Cash

Most likely to be enabled via server-side switch or an iMessage app release to the App Store

Thank you

Can the music app replicate this? I really dont want to download apps sorry

No, no worries.. I understand. Any app that you have where you select icons or something that respond with a sound should be able to test it. Since 11, I have gotten speaker clipping/popping with sounds like the planet selection in Sky Guide or tile selection in Sudoku. I think any app could have it. For example, the selection sound in Sudoku sounds like a little bubble pop.. but that sound is accompanied by a nasty speaker clipping/crackle sound.

I demonstrated this to our local Apple Lead Tech and he said it was NOT normal.

 

[Agent2015]

With the potential that this is the GM for iOS 11.1, I did a full download via the developer portal then option/update install via iTunes. Full install file sizes are 2.83 GB for iPhone 7 Plus and 2.52 GB for 2017 iPad. Install was smooth and fast on both devices. So far so good with no obvious changes and same fluid performance as on iOS 11.1 Beta 3 on both devices. Will monitor battery performance for next 24 hours or so to verify battery life. Was excellent on both devices on iOS 11.1 Beta 3 so expect equal or better on 15B92.

This is the gm because after the installation the welcome screen ask if you want to share analysis data with Apple. In beta this is not an option.
So, great version for iOS 11, no more stutter in most of cases. The only inexplicable thing is how Apple can not fix the calculator bug!!!

 

[ttam110]

Can someone else confirm that this is glitch is fixed? I just tried it on beta 4 and it's no longer present

 

[ncsmith4]

How's the keyboard lag? Specifically in Messages. It's been really awful in b1-3.

 

[Radon87000]

Is home button delay fixed?
