Personally can't wait for this feature!
Think there will be any surprise features?

A iOS 11 better than iOS 10.3.3 is already enough for me

 

[dannyyankou]

The following betas will be public too?

Probably not for beta 1

 

[GIZBUG]

[-BigMac-]

Aw cmon mr party poopy pants wheres the sense of adventure and playfully overconfident outlook towards Apples future

Has apple in the past ever acknowledged iOS causing battery drain or an updating fixing it?

There’s no particular reason why major iOS and macOS updates have to be released annualy and have to synchronise exactly with new iPhones releases.

So why do they do it? It’s clearly a lot to ask to push out major versions of four operating systems at once and I believe this is adversely affecting the high degree of polish that Apple users expect.

They spend nearly a year polishing the operating systems only to release new versions that are noticeably rough around the edges by comparison, occasionally even with severe bugs.

I think they can do better. Splitting up the release dates for each OS seems like the logical first step.

Mostly for marketing is my guess, their "new" phone wouldn't seem new if it wasn't for a few features dependant on the new iOS

How does splitting up release dates seem logical? The same developers are not working on each OS. They are separate and therefore one would not benefit by the other 3 not being in development. In addition, all OS versions now work with each other (feature wise). So they need to be updated at the same time. (Minus TV OS).

The answer is simple... have the macOS release in place in time for the iPhone X. Apple wants to sell the 8/8+ because the margins are huge, but don't fool yourself... their real focus is on the iPhone X...

You lost me. How is that related to what I'm talking about?

My point is that Apple is all about the iPhone X, not the 8/8+... since the X is not yet available, the key for them is to just have macOS out in time for the release of the X.

How does macOS relate to iPhone X? Thats where you are losing me. Shouldn't you be saying they should have waited until X to launch iOS 11?

 

[Mlrollin91]

Yes, some X.x.1 updates will say "performance and battery life improvements". Its been years since the last one though.

 

[SumYoungGai]

so are we thinking 11.1 Beta 1 on Monday or Tues?

 

[hideous cheese]

Now that the backdrop for notifications is the same as the lock screen, I want the ability to select this independently.

Select what independently? And how does this relate to what this thread is about?

Since they are tying to unify the lock screen with the notification screen, I don’t see that every happening.

I think maybe they are speculating as to if that feature may be added in iOS 11. I don’t know...benefit of the doubt.

 

[gwhizkids]

Has anyone heard anything? I'm still on 10.3.3. I'm not updating to iOS 11 after all the issues with lag, crashing, and battery life I've been hearing about.

I’d suggest you try it rather than listen to the vocal minority here.

 

[Chris_H0928]

Pass. I'll wait.

 

[gwhizkids]

Probably not for beta 1

Disagree. That’s usually only for the X.X betas.

 

[gwhizkids]

Pass. I'll wait.

Your loss. Most of us have zero issues.

 

[Chris_H0928]

Your loss. Most of us have zero issues.

I need my phone for certain things and can't afford any issues like my battery bailing on me midday when I don't have a charger handy. It's not a loss...it's a phone OS. I'll be okay.

 

[Mlrollin91]

Disagree. That’s usually only for the X.X betas.

Two things. First, the next beta will be a X.1, therefore the first beta will probably not be a public beta. Second, there have been quite a few X.x.x betas that have not gone to pubic during the first beta.
