Apple Releases iOS 11.1 With New Emoji, 3D Touch App Switcher, and More

[RealAppleFan]

Apple needs to focus less on emoji and more on things that matter, like bringing back the 3.5mm headphone jack.

I'm updating, in a few minutes my beloved 3D touch gesture to switch apps will be back on my iPhone, it was about time!!

Cue the I don't see it yet, downloading now, and installing now useless comments.

X apparently comes with 11.1 so yes it would be wise to update your current device so there are no issues with the iCloud backup/restore process.

It comes with 11.0.3.

Installing now... let’s see how this goes.

Battery life sanity again, so I hear? Come to Papa.

 

[ConfusedChris]

So I will need a new beta profile when 11.2 goes on pb?

Why do people put things like “more than seventy”? Can’t they count any higher? “There were only seven of us in the office and we ran out of fingers.”
I once saw “more than 5 new features.”

Never happening

Does anyone have any links to one of the pre-release testers who confirm this conflicting info please?

Does this resolve the emoji keyboard issue where the emoji keyboard covers up the text input area of the app?

Nope.

Have been waiting for .1 to take the dip, most excellent.

I want an Octopus Animoji so I can cos play Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama.

Your life dream is at hand! Have to add, that sounds awesome.

For those worried- It shouldn't be an issue. I've bought many new iPhones with old iOS .0xx versions and "iCloud restore" will just make you download the most recent iOS version first, and then automatically continue the restore process.

Yeah, that will never happen with the AirPods.

 

[sbailey4]

yes. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208222

Hmm interesting in the WIFI Krack info. See the "Available for" section. All say 5s and later EXCEPT the wi-fi Krack says iP7 and later and only a few iPads. Hoping this is a typo.

I prefer the more cartoony looking emojis.

Regardless, they wouldn't release 11.1 today if the X came with 11.0.3, as if that were the case then you wouldn't be able to restore your 11.1 iCloud backup to the X during the out-of-box experience. No way Apple would make you do the 11.1 update first before being able to restore your backup.

Finally new emojis, thats what matters most... yehaaa

Do we really need this comment 75 times in the thread....fact is the average user loves emoji and it’s a tangible feature for most since the messages app is the most used app.

Get over it.

 

[edlex]

Done! That was fast on 8+ via iTunes

 

[cmaier]

How come it shoes up in software update then? Yes I removed the profile, but if it was the same I should be up to date...

on my iPad it showed up, but not my iPhone. In both cases had beta 5, so not sure whats going on

 

[Wildkraut]

Because visual designers have something to do with software development?

Nope, but adding this to the top line says it all.

 

[Shark5150]

Another thread littered with ridiculing emojis. FWIW, installed on all devices flawlessly. iPad pros, IP 7+ and iPod (latest). Everything works. Smooth. Will report battery tomorrow after it settles down. Emojis are indeed in there. Peace...

Apple's new strategy: take away basic features that I'm used to, love, and take for granted (e.g. 3D Touch app switcher), and then bring them back at a later time so that I'm excited and grateful.

I wonder what features they'll take away in 12.0 and then bring back well over a month later if we're lucky.

Edit: This is sarcasm. I don't honestly think Apple has this intentional strategy.

I once saw “more than 5 new features.”

"More than 5 new features" = 6 new features.

"Less than $1.00" = 99 cents.

"More than 70 new emojis" = WHO THE *** CARES...

Perhaps says something about what the majority of typical customers might be attracted to or care about, but that's about it.

Yes, conspiracies are the approach to most things in life.

Yay, app switcher using 3D touch, thanks Apple. Now on to the next request, allow turn-off toggle for WiFi/BT in CC.
