Aye...this seems like a terrible idea. I can't imagine the number of people who are going to jump into this beta and then slam it for breaking things.
It's clear Apple wants a boatload of quick voluminous feedback, but this is a ballsy move IMO.
It's clear Apple wants a boatload of quick voluminous feedback, but this is a ballsy move IMO.
Let see, data spike while on 4g/LTE.. so those who have limited data make sure you're watching that. Messages app crashing while displaying multiple photos attached to an imessage.. Messages app restarts iPhone, sending it into a loop (you have to do a certain sequence of things to have this happen.) Certain apps refuse to open (obviously due to the new file system and IOS changes so there's not much that can be done till dev's update their applications). WIFI connectivity issues that cause loss of connection, reverting back to 4g/LTE and auto joining becoming disabled. Multitasking closure of applications does not work, battery drain due to applications not properly being unloaded from memory. (They continue to run in the background and they show sometimes in the tasker.. other times you dump them.. think they are unloaded.. only for them to return after opening another app).. I can go on and on.. Basically these betas are memory drainers, filled with a lot of small bugs, 2 huge bugs and a lot of annoyances. This is why I keep preaching to those who like to brag about how they have access to betas to please wait.. save yourself the annoyances and issues.. Hopefully beta 3 fixes a lot of these issues and more. Trust me, there's so many more than those I listed. I've reported over a 150 bugs at this point. And yes, I know it's beta but these are not your typical betas. These are the new Apple file system, applications changed to 64bit, some interface changes, a bunch of under the hood changes that will be unveiled with iPhone 8.

I would definitely go for it. The only reason a Pro is really necessary is if you have iOS 11 in my eyes. Hell, I have an iPad Mini 2 and I'm downloading the beta as I type this
Look at the bug reports from last weeks dp2 release they will be the same.
You will be lucky to connect to your watch after the update!!
Mine stopped connecting after 3 days along with a lot of other people.

Apple today released the first public beta of iOS 11 to its public beta testing group, allowing non-developers to download and test the update ahead of its fall release. iOS 11 has been available for developers since June 5, and the first public beta corresponds with the second developer beta.
Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.
Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. Before installing a beta, make sure to create a full encrypted iTunes backup and be sure to install it on a secondary device because beta software is not stable and can include many bugs.
iOS 11 brings subtle design changes to the operating system, including a new Lock screen experience and a customizable, redesigned Control Center. Siri is smarter, has a more natural voice, and can do more, Messages features person-to-person Apple Pay, Notes has searchable handwriting and document scanning, and Music now lets you share playlists with your friends.
A new Files app improves file management on iOS devices, and for the iPad in particular, there's a new Dock, an App Switcher, and support for Drag and Drop, all of which vastly improves multitasking on the device. An entirely revamped App Store is coming in the update, photos and videos take up less space, iMessages can be stored in iCloud, and developers are getting new tools like ARKit for creating impressive new augmented reality apps and games.Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
For full details on all of the new features included in iOS 11, make sure to check out our iOS 11 roundup. iOS 11 will be available for developers and public testers for testing purposes for several months ahead of a planned fall release.

If I get iPad Pro 10.5 next week- what's best course of action?
Download iOS 11 beta on the 10.5- then restore from backup?
Or do I restore form my iOS 10 backup first?
[doublepost=1498513346][/doublepost]
And when I wipe my 9.7 before selling- will it revert to iOS 10 or stay on iOS 11 beta for the new buyer ?
Backing up my 9.7Pro now and going for it. This is the iOS I have been waiting for, finally makes the iPad useable as a portable computer for me. Have my Air 1 as backup in case things go bad.
The first beta was way less stable on iPhone 7 Plus than the first iOS 10 Beta on iPhone 6.
I'm not home to be able to install the new version yet but I am assuming the only new change was the downgrade fix. Tossed into the original installer, so new build # but not really "new" as far as fixes. I hope i'm wrong, would be nice to see them really fix things quickly but that's not how Apple works as far as these releases go.
Downloaded, but if killing connection to the Apple Watch, think I will hold out on installing on the iPhone. iPad Mini will be the test machine.

I would gather it is from ppl who put it on their devices expecting it to work as a daily driver. And then complaining when they have issues.
Nope, didn't worked for me... still stuck with restore loop. Got to restore it manually with iOS11 beta 1 ipsw and then back to 10.3.2
It may be too late, but I would do an encrypted backup of your current iPad to iTunes. Once iCloud backs up the 11.0 install I think you lose the 10.x one. I’m not 100% sure of that. That will at least give you a 10.x backup to restore to if you need to.
