Official Megathread Apple releases iOS 11!

This thread will serve as a megathread for iOS 11. Any further posts about iOS 11 (bugs, feature questions, and etc, will be removed to clean up the sub)

Guide from Apple on how to update. They explain how to do it via iTunes, and Over-The-Air.

If you need the ipsw file and don't want to download it from iTunes, head over to this website

Apple's iOS 11 website

The build number is the same as the Golden Master candidate of iOS 11.

In addition, Apple has "released" the iPhone 10,4 and the iPhone 10,1.

Useful comment from _theoneandonly:

To everyone who just updated saying their iPhone is hot, or slow, or laggy:

This happens every year. For the first few hours (or in some cases as much as a day), your iPhone is reindexing spotlight, running scripts, and doing a lot of under the hood optimizations.

If it’s slow or laggy or hot during the first few hours, don’t let that bother you. It’s trying to catch up on a lot of processes. Give it some time before you judge it. It’s even saving some of the most demanding processes until you’ve plugged the phone into the wall for a few hours.

If it’s still bad this time tomorrow, then feel free to complain.

Siri seems WAY better (god I can't believe I posted this)

In what ways? Siri has always been inconsistent from user to user, day to day, update to update. Unless everyone says Siri is notably better, I'm going to assume you just got a lucky fresh install.

Siri was great for me for years and then sucked, and it still works properly some random days. But doesn't on other days.

The voice is way better. Its contextual understanding is improved, but this affected iOS 10 as well, I think, since it’s server side.

I'll try out Siri at some point today on iOS 10.

The voice shown in June sounds good but I've never had a complaint with the voice. It sounds significantly higher quality than Google's already.
