Let us remind you that last week the long-awaited presentation took place iPhone smartphones X and iPhone 8, as well as the Apple Watch Series 3 smartwatch. After this, huge queues lined up outside Apple stores around the world - everyone wants to be the first to purchase the new product, especially the iPhone X.

It was traditionally presented in June at a developer conference and has since been actively tested by developers - 9 public beta versions have been released and a pre-release Golden Master build for developers, which is already available for download (anyone can download). It is noteworthy that this year, many of the functions of the new firmware were kept secret until the last minute, so as not to reveal the innovative features of the iPhone X ahead of time. However, a few days before the event in Cupertino, the Golden Master version hit the Internet and was carefully studied by specialists.

IN iOS 11 The design and functionality of the Control Center and Notification Center, the Apple Music service, the standard messenger Messages and other programs were significantly changed.

Which iPhones and iPads can install iOS 11 on: complete list of supported devices

Unfortunately, iOS 11 does not support the iPhone 5, but the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 will receive the update. WITH full list Supported devices can be found here.

When will the official iOS 11 update be released in Russia?

To install iOS 11 GM You should use detailed instructions for your gadget.

Possibilities iOS 11 from Apple for iPhone and iPad.

Update: The release date of iOS 11 has become known, at least the public beta version, which will allow everyone to install iOS 11 on their iPhones and iPads.

What is the new operating system like? Is it worth the hassle to test unfinished software? We've included all the answers and overview of each new iOS 11 feature below.

iOS 11 will transform your iPhone and iPad, and Apple's update is available now or in three months, depending on who you are.

This is a particularly big update for iPad tablets. Apple tablets will become more the best alternative laptops (for some people), thanks to the multitasking update in iOS. Both iPad and iPhone also get a redesigned Control Center.

There are new camera modes, Siri is smarter, and iOS 11 (finally) puts Apple on the cutting edge of innovation. On this moment AR8 rumors are also confirmed.

Here's everything you need to know about the iOS 11 beta, which is now open to the general public.

New iOS 11 Dock improves iPad multitasking

The new iPad Pro 10.5 and iPad Pro 12.9 are becoming laptop replacements for many users, while iOS 11 makes it easier.

New multitasking grid in the updated control center.

iOS 11 includes a new bar, just like on Macs, that follows you from app to app, located at the bottom. The Dock is hidden, but you can always pull it out to access multitasking features.

The bottom app drawer also appears in the multitasking menu, which now has a grid design. Now it's much easier to switch between applications, like on a MacBook.

Editor's comment: This is the most important part of iOS 11 if you have a new iPad. We found that the new dock and multitasking menu grid make switching between apps much easier, making the tablet feel more like a computer with multiple windows. This is important for the growing number of users who use the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement.

Drag debuts oniPad

Function " Drag and Drop also debuts on iOS 11 and instantly launches apps in split-screen mode when you drag them away from the main work area of ​​the screen.

Drag and drop apps in split screen mode.

You can also drag and drop photos and hyperlinks across apps using split screen.

You can also move other data onto half the screen: text, photos, hyperlinks and files. Is not iMac Pro is Apple's answer to touchscreen computing.

iOS 11 makes iPads feel closer to laptops than iPhones big size, and this is exactly what Android tablets, even the new one, do not offer yet Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.

Drag and drop for iPhone may be possible in the future, but according to beta testers, the feature is currently disabled for the current version of iOS 11.

Editor's comment: This feature eliminates several unnecessary steps when using iPad, improving productivity. In our testing, it was significantly easier to copy and then paste text and photos using the split-screen menu. Everything works great. We've been missing this feature for the past two years, but now we can drag and drop any data.

UpdateiOS 11: Release date

Now that we're done with the iOS 11 news - and before we get to the rest of the changes, let's slow down on the iOS 11 release date.

iOS 11 is coming this fall, according to Apple, but developers enrolled in the Apple Developer Program can download iOS 11 right now, at least in early update form.

You can also check your device for the update, as Apple just launched the public beta of iOS 11 (June 26, 2017), and it's available on both iPhone and iPad.

Editor's comment: Do I need to download iOS 11? We did it (obviously). For the most part, this is an awesome update, but some apps that rely on Bluetooth locks may not perform well. Developers will fix the problems, but this may not happen until September, when the iPhone 8 launches.

INiOS 11 is hinted atiPhone 8AR

The iOS 11 update offers Apple the largest AR platform in the world - thanks to a large number of iPhones and iPads. This currently truths for fans additional reality and developers in this area.

That's why Apple's developer-focused ARKit is an interesting kit for everyone, not just app developers. He hints at the most great opportunities, which will arrive with the iPhone 8 in three months. Get ready for futuristic augmented reality experiences.

What is Apple ARKit on iOS 11? Developers will be able to place virtual objects in the real world using your iPhone or iPad and its camera.

It's like a really advanced version of Pokemon GO, but with a lot more features.

There's nothing on the table. But on the screenThe iPad plays out a whole interactive world.

In fact, Pokemon Go was one of several AR demo releases Apple showed off. But we were even more impressed by what Peter Jackson's studio, Wingut AR, demonstrated

An elaborate augmented reality showcase included a battle between an outpost and spaceships, and all this happened on a peaceful and lifeless table in the living room.

Speaking of tablets, IKEA is reportedly partnering with the launch of iOS 11's AR feature, allowing virtual furniture to be placed in rooms with millimeter precision.

Apple just created a new playground for millions of existing devices, forcing problems for Microsoft Hololens and Google Tango.

Editor's comment: Don't expect an amazing augmented reality experience if you download the iOS 11 beta now. These are developer tools designed to build the future virtual reality on iPhone and iPad. However, we're really hoping for a big push for augmented reality from Apple, given how many devices run iOS.

iOS 11 testingApple Pencil

The Apple Pencil is a great tool for the iPad Pro series of tablets, but our only complaint about the stylus is that you can't use it wherever you want in apps.

This is a big change for iOS 11. The Instant Markup app lets you draw on PDFs and photos, and Instant Notes lets you jot everything down as quickly as possible—right from the lock screen.

All your instant notes on your device's lock screen are saved in Notes, so don't worry. And by relying on notes next to existing text, you can work with documents in very clever ways.

Take notes, even from the lock screen. Notes are saved inNotes.

You can make changes usingApplePencil even inPDF files and pictures.

Text, get out of the way. I'm drawing here!

Scan and sign documents without the need for a multifunction printer.

The document scanner impresses with the detail of scanning important documents that you need to sign.

It scans, trims edges, removes slant and glare, and lets you fill in the blanks or sign documents using the Apple Pencil.

Editor's comment: This is another significant update for the iPad Pro series. We're not saying the Apple Pencil was previously useless, but its use cases were pretty limited (hello, artists). Now iOS 11 makes the stylus a multifunctional productivity tool, and it also comes hand-in-hand with Apple's magical document scanner.

New keyboard shortcuts foriPad

Apple boosts productivity with the iPad Pro increasing to a 10.5-inch screen, while iOS 11 improves productivity with new keyboard shortcuts.

You no longer have to switch to the second keyboard layer.

This solution combines letter keys with numbers, symbols and punctuation (usually on the second layer of the keyboard), and accesses them using a new gesture.

Pressing a key and sliding down is easier than switching between two keyboard layers. We wanted to see something similar on the iPhone 7 Plus.

Editor's Note: This is one of the smallest changes in iOS 11, but also one of the most important. Not having to switch back and forth between keyboard layers saves you a step, which sets back about a second and a half of time. Spread this time throughout the day, and you'll start working much faster, experiencing less stress while typing a lot. email, full of various typos and specialized characters. We really like this one new feature iOS 11.

AppleFiles opens many clouds

Apple is debuting a new Files app in iOS 11 that lets you sort all your files. You can view, search and organize them all in one place.

Apple Files not only can work with latest files your iPad, but also with others iOS devices, and also includes iCloud Drive and other services, including Box, Google Drive and Dropbox.

Another way Apple is trying to make the iPad Pro a de facto computer for people who don't need a 2017 MacBook or iMac Pro.

Editor's comment: This move, like the Apple Pencil announcement two years ago, goes against what we've come to expect from the company. However, it's a welcome change with iOS 11. You may not use the Files app right away since you'll be relying on the old document management, but it's an important update for your Apple devices.

iMessages no longer takes up memory

The iOS 11 update makes iMessages even better by seamlessly syncing with iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

This means two things. Firstly, when you delete a conversation bubble on iPad, it will also disappear on your iPhone and MacBook Pro. Great.

Secondly, the update frees up iMessage memory, a real problem for rabid message writers that has remained since iMessage launched.

Whether you're aware of it or not, iMessages takes up a ton of space on your iPhone and iPad, that's the "Other" section if you've ever estimated space through iTunes.

Soon with the iOS 11 update you will be able to back up all iMessage messages s to iCloud to archive them on Apple's secure online servers. Great relief.

Editor's comment: The very fact that iOS 11 syncs iMessages between devices via iCloud may be a bigger change than all the cosmetic additions and the inclusion of stickers from iOS 10. Why? Because while it's a great texting app, especially since you can send messages from Mac and iPad (which isn't as easy to do natively on Android), messages may have remained on other devices after they were deleted. The fact that the application frees up space on the device's memory is a pleasant bonus.

PaymentsApple Pay forfriends

Apple Pay is expanding to include personalized payment options with the iOS 11 update. This is exactly what Venmo and PayPal did, but through a free app.

Apple Pay payments use Touch ID for authentication and iMessages for sending between friends or other contacts who owe you money.

With so many contactless payment options in iOS right now, including Gmail and Facebook, there's no reason to go after debtors in person.

Editor's comment: This is Apple's attempt to expand Apple capabilities Pay competes with Venmo, and overall it's a good thing. Regardless of how many users can benefit from this solution, the effectiveness remains to be seen. It's hard to get attention for this iOS 11 feature, even though it might be handy in everyday life.

Welcome to the new app store!

We didn't get an iTunes update at WWDC 2017, but iOS 11 brings us a completely new App Store for iPhone and iPad.

The Today tab takes you to a daily updated list of apps and also tells you about best apps. The format is very similar to what Apple did with its music app last year.

Don't worry, every application still has separate page, but iOS 11 puts a big emphasis on new Games and Apps tabs that better highlight the available choices in those areas.

Apple says the new app store is on your mobile devices"intended to be searched" and is effective way make apps load faster, just like they did nine years ago.

Editor's comment: We took a look at the new App Store in the iOS 11 update. The Updates tab is not yet optimized due to a lot of white space in the menu and larger text that takes up more lines than before, but wherever it is beneficial. Timely changes for this application.

UpdateiOS 11: Best Sound no losses

It's not yet confirmed, but it has been hinted that iOS 11 may support lossless audio, thanks to the new Files app.

Apple's lossless FLAC audio support on iPhones and iPads will finally give us the ability to listen to uncompressed files without conversion to the FLAC standard.

This is a small but significant change for Apple's previous mobile audio player, as well as the upcoming AirPlay 2 and Apple HomePod.

Editor's comment: We haven't been able to try out this iOS 11 feature yet, but it's a promising change for audio lovers. We're also excited about the prospect of iOS 11 allowing us to control multiple speakers individually or all at once - even if they come from different manufacturers.

Siri is smarter and sounds different

To make Siri sound like artificial intelligence from the future, Apple gives its virtual assistant the ability to say the same word with different tones. This is quite different from robotic pronunciation.

Siri also ramps up contextual learning as it reveals different variations of sentences after you read a specific story in Apple News or Safari.

Did you just read the news about Iceland and started typing a word like Reykjavik? Let Siri correct another typo.

Siri is on 375 million devices and works in different languages ​​and... different countries, covering more than any other assistant. Therefore, Apple uses its development against the backdrop of the iOS 11 update.

The assistant uses deep learning to translate quickly, something we haven't seen before. Would you like to order an original dish in Chinese? Just ask Siri to do it for you.

iOS 11 is out – you can update.

iOS 11 is the latest mobile operating system for iPhone and iPad, released on September 19, 2017. The final build of iOS 11 is numbered 15A372, exactly the same as the Golden Master version. The iOS 11 update brings a ton of new features, including a redesigned App Store, a redesigned Control Center, an improved Siri with a more human-like voice, and much more. iOS 11 supports all devices on which iOS 10 could be installed, except iPhone 5/5c and iPad 4. All new features of iOS 11 were discussed in this review article.

Fast passage:

Advice! Most common problems iOS 11 problems and solutions are described in this article.

Design

Before the official announcement of the iOS 11 update, there were many speculations that Apple would seriously update appearance your mobile operating system. Unfortunately, a truly large-scale update did not happen. However, some elements of the iOS 11 interface have changed.

In iOS 11, Apple designers have moved to bolder fonts, particularly in headings. In almost all standard applications In apps, the fonts have become darker and bolder, in the style of the iOS 10 version of the Music app.

Some applications, such as “Phone” and “Calculator” have received much more noticeable improvements, which can even be called a full-fledged redesign.

It is noteworthy that many applications, for example, “Calendar” and “Reminders” remained completely unchanged.

Command centre

iOS 11 has completely reimagined Control Center. The updated Control Center in iOS 11 is a single screen, instead of three separate ones offered in iOS 10. However, there was no return to the days of iOS 9 - the Control Center received a completely new look with round-shaped icons. The updated default menu includes two sections for adjusting network options, music controls, sliders for changing volume and brightness, as well as several small buttons for locking rotation, controlling Do Not Disturb and other settings.

In iOS 11, Control Center can be customized! Apple finally took pity on users and gave them this opportunity. In Control Center you can now set required functions and applications, which will certainly do using iPhone and the iPad is much more convenient.

Previously, the Control Center began to occupy only a small part of the screen when calling, but now it is located over its entire area. Thanks to this, the updated menu provides access to a noticeably wider range of functions, and users have the right to choose which ones.

In the settings of the iOS 11 update, a special section has appeared in which users can add various elements to the Control Center. You can add the following options:

  • Flashlight
  • Timer
  • Calculator
  • Camera
  • Universal access
  • Alarm
  • Control Apple TV
  • "Do not disturb the driver"
  • Guided access
  • Home app
  • Low Power Mode
  • Notes
  • Screen Recording
  • Stopwatch
  • Text size
  • Voice notes
  • Wallet app

Along with new personalization settings, expanded 3D Touch gestures have appeared in the new Control Center. When pressing hard on most icons in the Control Center, the user will receive additional options. For example, by pressing hard on the Music application icon, not only playback controls will appear on the screen, but also information about the song being played, as well as auxiliary parameters.

When you hold down the flashlight icon, you can increase or decrease the light intensity.

When you hold down the brightness control icon, there is a convenient adjustment scale and a Night Shift button.

When you hold down the Notes application icon, you have the option to create a new note, list, photo, or sketch. And so on.

On iPad new The control center looks different. It appears on the right side of the screen in both landscape and portrait orientation. The left side is occupied by thumbnails of running applications. The Control Center itself on the iPad is exactly the same as on the iPhone. Menu items can be changed according to own needs, and if you hold it for a long time, additional options appear.

The control center on iPad is located on the same screen with an updated menu for switching between applications. The latter is located to the left of the Control Center in the form of thumbnails of all open applications. The combined menu is called up by swiping from the very bottom of the screen, or by double-clicking the “Home” button.

Note that in the first beta versions of iOS 11, in the updated multitasking menu on the iPad, it was suggested to close applications by clicking on the small cross in the corner of the thumbnail. This was completely inconvenient, which, fortunately, Apple noticed, offering the most pleasant and intuitive way to close applications.

Lock screen

The iOS 11 update actually merged the Lock screen with the Notification Center. In its basic state, the lock screen only shows the time and date, but swiping up opens a list of missed notifications. An identical list is presented in the Notification Center, which, as before, can be opened from anywhere in the operating system by swiping down from the very top of the screen.

In iOS 11, the lock screen has two additional pages. Swiping right on the main screen opens a page with widgets, swiping left opens the camera. In this regard, the iOS 11 lock screen is no different from the version from iOS 10.

iMessage and Apple Pay

In iOS 10, Apple introduced apps for Messages and even a separate App Store for iMessage. With iOS 11, the company decided to give users more convenient access to these features. Messages in iOS 11 introduces quick access to stickers, emoji, apps, and games that can be used by iMessage. All you have to do to access them is slide your fingers across the pop-up app bar and the iMessage add-ons you need will appear in front of you.

And this little strip changes absolutely everything. If previously, to send a banal sticker you had to first go to the App Store menu, now selecting and transferring them takes a split second. You can also transfer more useful content, for example, location from Maps, tracks from Apple Music, etc. Thousands of apps from the App Store support iMessage extensions.

In addition, iMessage in the iOS 11 update introduced the ability to send payments between messenger users. Using special application Apple Pay, iPhone and iPad owners can transfer money to each other using proprietary payment system Apple. The money you receive is stored on your new Apple Pay Cash card, which doesn't appear in the Wallet app. However, it is full-fledged - you can use it for purchases through Apple Pay, or transfer money from it to a bank account.

It is important to note that the feature of sending money via iMessage will not be available for use in any country in the world when iOS 11 is released. Take advantage new opportunity iMessage in iOS 11 will only be possible after the release of one of the next iOS 11 updates, probably iOS 11.1. Apple itself announced this literally one day before the release of the final version of iOS 11. We also emphasize that the function will initially work only in the USA.

However, in Russia support Apple maps Pay Cash will appear. This is expected to happen during 2018. Apple Pay Cash support will be available for all Apple compatible devices Pay devices: iPhone SE, iPhone 6 or later, all iPad Pros, fifth-generation iPads, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 or later, and Apple Watch. Transferring money between iMessage users will not be subject to commission, but when withdrawing money, users will have to pay a commission of 3% of the transfer amount.

Important! This function was presented at WWDC 2017 and appeared in the first beta versions of iOS 11, but was later removed from the system. There will be no iOS 11 in the final version. It is expected that Apple will bring it back in future updates. The next new feature is Messages in iCloud, which stores all your iMessages in iCloud cloud storage. Messages will be synced across all your devices, combined into one account iCloud. An excellent bonus of this storage method is the freeing up of space in iPhone memory and iPad, since correspondence and attachments will be stored in the cloud.

The latest addition to iMessage in iOS 11 are two new full-screen effects - Echo and Spotlight.

"Echo"

"Spotlight"

Live Photos

Apple is not losing hope of making Live Photos popular among all its users. iOS 11 introduces three new effects for Live Photos:

  • Looped videos - a “live” photo will turn into a funny looped video.

  • “Pendulum” effect - the photo will be played back and forth.

  • Long exposure - will allow you to achieve the effect of a long shutter speed, like on SLR cameras.

In addition, “live” photos in iOS 11 can be cropped, choose a different key shot for them, or turn off the sound when playing a Live Photo.

Camera

The iPhone Camera app in iOS 11 has new filters that Apple calls "pro-grade." Thanks to them, skin tone in photographs will become more realistic, and portraits will be as expressive as possible. There are nine redesigned filters optimized for natural skin tones.

Portrait mode has been significantly improved in iOS 11. In particular, image quality has been increased, low light output has been improved, and the mode itself has received support for optical image stabilization. In addition, the flash worked in portrait mode and HDR support appeared for even better lighting.

The Camera app also has the ability to scan QR codes. To scan, just point the camera at the QR code and it will be recognized immediately. After successful recognition, iOS will offer a method for further use of the content encrypted in the QR code. For example, if a phone number is found in the code, the system will offer to call it, and if the link is to a website, then open it in Safari.

New HEIF and HEVC formats

With the iOS 11 update, Apple switched to new photo and video formats - HEIF and HEIC, respectively. Main feature These formats have improved compression. Media files are compressed up to two times without losing quality. This means that photos and videos taken on iPhone camera or iPad will take up half as much space in memory and iCloud cloud storage.

It is important to note that media files in the new formats are compatible with devices that do not support them. When you send or transfer photos and videos in HEIF and HEIC formats, they are automatically transcoded into readable formats for viewing on any device. Thanks to this, the situation with Live Photos is impossible to watch anywhere except the latest models iPhone and Mac will not happen again.

Which Apple devices support HEIF and HEVC formats

  • iPhone X , iPhone 8 , iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, 10.5-inch iPad Pro, 12.9-inch iPad Pro second generation.

Photo

Face recognition in photos in iOS 11, like many other data, is now synchronized with other devices. This means you only have to tell Photos once about the person in your photo, and the updated system will then sync that information across all your devices. In addition, the selection of photos for the “People” album has become more accurate.

The Photos app now supports GIF animations. They play when clicked and are automatically collected into a new "Animated" album.

The number of types of “Memories” (automatically created thematic collections of photos and videos) in iOS 11 has been significantly increased. The system creates memories based on weddings, sporting events, pictures of pets, etc.

Technically, Memories has also been improved. In iOS 11 they adapt content for portrait and landscape orientation.

App Store

The App Store has been completely redesigned. So completely that even the app icon has been changed for the first time since the App Store launched nine years ago.

However, the main changes in the App Store in iOS 11 are contained inside. After the update, the App Store greets users with five tabs:

  • Today,
  • Games,
  • Applications,
  • Updates,
  • Search.

The Today tab contains today's most relevant content, as determined by App Store editors. Here, the “Game of the Day” and “App of the Day” sections are updated daily, which, again, are carefully selected by Apple employees.

In addition to these sections, the “Today” tab regularly appears various applications With detailed descriptions, collections and even articles in which developers most often describe the process of creating their applications and games.

The “Games” and “Applications” tabs, as the names suggest, are dedicated to games and applications from the App Store. Apple decided to separate games and applications into separate tabs in order to give users the opportunity to find exactly what they are looking for in the most convenient way. So, if you are not at all interested in games in the App Store, in the updated App Store they will flash before your eyes only on the “Today” tab, in very limited quantities.

Directly on the pages of applications and games in new App Store features more video previews, Editors' Choice stickers, and easy access to user ratings and in-app purchase information.

The App Store in iOS 11 has improved not only externally. The main technical upgrade of the store Apple applications has become an improved search. Searching in the App Store has become much easier - the “smart” mechanism prompts very accurately, and also provides links to relevant articles, tips and tricks, and selections.

Siri

Siri gets better every time new version iOS, and iOS 11 is no exception in this regard. Apple's proprietary voice assistant has been updated with more realistic female and male voices, which are much more similar to human ones. According to Apple executives, the new Siri voices were created using deep learning to achieve better pronunciation and a more expressive voice.

The main innovation of Siri in iOS 11 is invisible. The voice assistant has become self-learning, and it learns directly on the device, without sending user data anywhere. Thanks to machine learning Siri will be able to learn more about the user's interests, which will enable it to offer better recommendations.

Another important improvement to Siri is that the user information stored by the assistant is automatically synchronized with all devices that are authorized under the same account. Apple recording ID. This means Siri will get to know you just fine on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

In iOS 11, users can ask Siri to translate text from English to Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Support for other languages ​​will be implemented in the coming months. Apple representatives did not specify whether Siri will support translation into Russian or from Russian.

In addition, Siri has learned to form an understanding of users’ musical tastes. Based on this information, the voice assistant can suggest suitable music from Apple Music. When listening to songs from the music service, Siri can also answer various small questions related to the music, such as "Tell me who the drummer of this band is?"

Siri now has an option in its settings that allows you to access voice assistant text commands. You can enable the option in the “Settings” → “General” → “Accessibility” → Siri → “Text input for Siri” menu.

Siri in iOS 11 gained support for the Notes application (creating notes, task lists and reminders), remote banking applications for bank transfers and accounts, as well as applications that display QR codes.

And finally, Apple has given third-party developers access to the SiriKit API, thanks to which they can fully integrate the voice assistant into their applications.

Files

In iOS 11, the iCloud Drive app has disappeared and is replaced by a completely new Files app, which is similar to the Finder on Mac. "Files" offers access to all files that are locally stored on the iPhone or iPad, data from the cloud iCloud storage, content from applications, as well as all files and folders from third-party cloud services, such as Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive and others.

User data is very well organized in the Files app, providing quick access to all content stored on your iOS device. Like Finder on the Mac, the Files app lets you search through files, has a section to view all your recently retrieved files, subfolders, and the ability to add files to your favorites.

Third party developers may support Files in their applications. Files-enabled apps appear in side menu standard file utility, making it much easier to transfer documents, photos, videos and other content between them.

iPad Features

As Apple itself says, iOS 11 is a “giant leap for iPad.” And you can’t challenge this statement even if you try hard. iOS 11 greatly enhances the functionality of Apple tablets.

iPads running iOS 11 will be even more like Mac computers. This is largely due to the new Dock panel, which can accommodate significantly more applications (up to 15). The updated Dock is available on any iOS screen 11. The panel is “smart” - as you use it, the most frequently used applications will appear on the right side, as well as those that were recently launched on the iPhone or Mac.

The Dock panel will help open up multitasking. Any additional application on an iPad running iOS 11 you can open it directly from the Dock in Split View and Slide Over modes. The redesigned menu for switching between applications, again “smart”, will remember your preferences and allow you to quickly return to familiar combinations, for example, text editor and browser.

The drag and drop function completes the picture. iPad users with installed iOS 11 will be able to transfer text, files and photos from one app to another in the most intuitive gesture.

A striking example of the basic use of the drag-and-drop function is the ability to bring up the Dock panel from an already running application, from which you can drag a new application directly onto the screen. With this simple action, you can open two applications on one screen in Split View mode, or place a new application on the right side of the screen thanks to Slide Over mode. There are many advanced ways to use the drag-and-drop feature. For example, you can drag text, images, links, and other content from a web page in Safari to any other application.

Apple Pencil

Apple decided not to stop at the numerous improvements listed above in iOS 11 for iPad. With the advent of iOS 11, the Apple Pencil stylus has become a more versatile tool. Pencil has learned to make quick marks on PDFs and screenshots, create notes directly on the lock screen, and draw in apps like Notes and Mail.

Notes

The Notes app in iOS 11 now includes a document scanning feature. She in automatic mode identifies and scans a document, trims any unnecessary edges, eliminates glare and corrects irregularities.

QuickType keyboard

The standard QuickType keyboard in iOS 11 now supports one-handed mode. To activate the mode, you just need to hold down the globe or emoji button, after which the keys will move slightly to the right, which allows you to conveniently type text with one hand. Note that the mode only works on iPhone models with large displays(from 4.7 inches).

Version standard keyboard for iPad in iOS 11 received a small but very pleasant improvement. Symbols, numbers, letters and punctuation marks are now located on one keyboard. Thanks to this, users will be able to forget about the need to constantly switch between layouts. In iOS 11, to select the desired character, just swipe down on a key.

The latest innovation of the QuickType keyboard will definitely please residents of some CIS countries. iOS 11 adds new layouts for Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Georgian, Irish, Kannada, Malayalam, Maori, Oriya, Swahili and Welsh.

"Do not disturb the driver"

iOS 11 introduces a new feature - Do Not Disturb the Driver. It silences all incoming notifications on iPhone while the user controls vehicle. When active iPhone screen always remains dark, which eliminates all chances of being distracted by it while driving. To activate a feature, you must first add it to Control Center. Do Not Disturb Driver mode can also be turned on automatically, provided that the iPhone has the ability to connect to the car system via Bluetooth.
