How to download and install iOS 11.1 on your iPhone or iPad

http://ift.tt/2dafVeQ

iOS 11 is bringing some solid updates to iPhone and iPad, and if you want the latest, you'll want to download it now. Here's how to do it!

What's new in iOS 11

iOS 11 is a fairly subtle update, bringing some slight design changes, including a customizable Control Center, more 3D Touch integration, and Notification Center and the Lock screen are now one.

Siri's voice is also getting an update to sound more natural, and it now learns preferences and sync your information across devices so that it can learn your habits in order to preemptively get a sense of what you want (not creepy at all).

The Files app is the bigger update here, allowing you to organize and view all manner of documents, with the ability to even save many of them right to your iPhone or iPad. This is especially handy for iPad Pro users. iPad and iPhone users will also see a new Drag and Drop feature, where you'll be able to drag content from one app to another.

Notes is getting some workflow updates, like the ability to search handwriting and some document scanning abilities, while Maps is getting some new tricks, like lane guidance. If you're hoping for a grandiose overhaul, you're not getting it with iOS 11.0.3, but there are still some handy changes that come with this latest operating system.
