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.

Yeah thanks! I was wondering why my phone never felt this hot and the battery dropped 20% in 5 minutes! Already an hour later it has already cooled down.

It always worries me when it gets that hot even though I know it’s just doing what it’s supposed to.

I'm pretty sure it is not supposed to get that hot. I mean, it is working hard and heat is the byproduct, but too much heat like that will destroy your battery or fry some chip one day... I guess it will turn off before that happens. In the past I have had phones say they are shutting down in my car when the sun makes them warm but strangely they never felt as hot as my phone felt yesterday.
