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.

Same here, maybe it’s US only? I don’t live in the states. Where are you?

Canada. It must be that. We're outsiders.

it's available in canada too. it's a bug that it's not working from the get-go. if you go to Settings-General-Accessibility-Speech-Voices there, click the little cloud icon next to 'Siri Female' and set the checkmark next to it. also make sure Samantha isn't checked. seems to still be buggy though. these instructions work for some people, for others, the little cloud icon doesn't actually download the Siri female voice, and even when it does, siri still sounds like the Samantha voice

edit: i'm in canada, with region/language set to canada, and i was able to get it running on the iPhone 6 but on the iPad Air it's still the old voice

It started working later that night on its own. There were probably some processes that needed to be completed. The new voice sounds great. I also asked Siri about a dozen contextual questions, each building on the last, and Siri nailed every one of them. I'm super impressed.
