iOS 11
Apple has already released the final version of iOS 11. This update is packed with new features for the iPad and new core frameworks for their products. The update is currently rolling out and is available both over-the-air in the Settings app, and by plugging your device into iTunes for a wired update.

Many people try to download these major updates at the same time. Apple usually implements a queue system to ensure speedy downloads once users are at the front of the queue.

The new version of iOS is compatible with the iPhone 5s and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPad Air and later as well as the most recent iPod touch.

The only advised given is that users should backup their devices first. Also, to make sure that the iCloud backup is up to date by opening the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad and tapping on the account information at the top and then on the device name. Additionally, users can also plug your iOS device to their computer to do a manual backup in iTunes (or do both, really).

Users should not forget to encrypt their backup in iTunes. It is much safer if somebody hacks the computer. And encrypted backups include saved passwords and health data. This way, they don’t have to reconnect to all their online accounts.

Once this is done, users should go to the Settings app as soon as possible to get in the queue. Navigate to 'Settings,' then 'General' and then 'Software Update.' Then they should see 'Update Requested ...' It will then automatically start downloading once the download is available.

iOS 11 is the coming of age of the iPad. It turns the iPad into a more capable computing device with a brand new user interface. While the home screen hasn't changed, there's now a system-wide dock with all their favorite apps. Users can drag their finger from the bottom edge of the screen to bring it up at any time.

If the user keep dragging, they get an ExposĂ©-like bird’s-eye view of their recent apps and workspaces — a workspace can be multiple apps running in split screen. If you they to open two apps side-by-side, they can now just drag and drop an app icon from the dock to the main screen. It's a lot smoother than the previous Split View interface.

Apple also implemented a new spring-loaded, drag-and-drop gesture. Now, users can drag documents, photos, audio files, links and more across multiple apps. It will feel like a desktop computer. They can also manage their files in the new Files app, which supports cloud file services, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and OneDrive.

On the iPhone, most of the changes are under the hood. Many developers have been playing around with ARKit, Apple's new augmented reality framework. It is now much easier to create AR-enabled apps, with iOS doing the heavy lifting. Users can expect a lot of augmented reality apps and features in the App Store.

The most visible change is the new Control Center with customizable shortcuts (at least some of them). Users can add an Apple TV remote shortcut or a battery-saving mode shortcut for instance. The App Store has been completely redesigned as well. And, of course, by keeping the iPhone up-to-date, users get the latest security updates and performance improvements. New emojis are also coming soon.
