if you have GM you dont have to do anything!

I guessed that would be the case, was always a slim chance there was a slight build change.

T-Mobile and Verizon are 29.1, compared to 29.0.1 on GM. Go to Settings | About to update.

[insert obligatory MacRumors hot take from someone who hasn’t even installed iOS 11 yet here]

meh - not updating because.... Oompah Loompas

 

[nequalsone]

It's an OS, the developer pronounces its release, not the news....

 

[Bryan Bowler]

Apple iOS 11: Overview

 

[sdwaltz]

iPad updates are simply fantastic. That dock is wonderful.

 

[manu chao]

Even the title of this headline demonstrates how iOS fails to bring much to the 2017 update. It's the lack of features year for iOS.

We all know it is really just iOS 10.5 w AR.

Yeah, sure, all that iPad stuff isn't really new features, just some fine-tuning.

 

[jonnysods]

Okay here we go I'll check now!

Yes. As you will see in my other response. The difference in 11 on an iPad and iPhone is night and day.

 

[Brenster]

The app switcher/multitasking features on the iPad and revamped dock for the iPad make this update night and day between the iPad and iPhone. On the iPhone i disagree with the plenty of goodness. Performance is always welcome as is integration but it speaks to a lack of innovation.

The truth is the new home screen-less X and Apple's contention it is the mark of the next decade of the smartphone means they could have presented us with something truly innovative for the full screen phone. Many of us would like to see Apple bring an overhaul to Springboard. Force/3D Touch is a tool that could be the doorway to doing that.

Instead the consolidated the lock screen and control center pages as well as a new App Store and some Siri changes along with Augemented Reality.

I'm not the only one who considers this a major disappointment and a missed opportunity.

Fair enough. My opinion of iOS 11 is coloured by the fact that my iPad Pro can now truly replace my laptop, as per marketing blurb.

 

[M.PaulCezanne]

iPad updates are simply fantastic. That dock is wonderful.

yeah, strongly considering an iPad pro now...

Now the big question, whether or not to update my iPhone 6. Leaning towards not

I've been running bet version of iOS on my iPhone 6 for the last month plus. The 1st versions were horrible. However, the GM has been running great on my device... mind you, it's just my experience. One thing I love is the new compression for photos. I can store so many more on the phone (that is, compression for new photos that are taken- the compression does not affect older photos).

updating... hope it doesn't brick my 6

Back it up first and just don't unplug or do stuff during update.
Go get a coffee or a beer or something.

iPhones are easy to recover so.I wouldn't worry too much.
Good luck!
