Apple Seeds Tenth Beta of iOS 11 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the tenth beta of iOS 11 to developers for testing purposes, just under one week after releasing the ninth beta and three months after introducing the new update at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Registered developers can download the new iOS 11 beta from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed. A new beta has also been made available for Apple's public beta testing group.

iOS 11 brings several new design changes like a customizable Control Center and a new Lock screen that's been merged with the Notification Center. Peer-to-peer Apple Pay payments are coming in the Messages app, which is also gaining a new App Drawer, and there's a Do Not Disturb While Driving feature that's meant to help drivers stay focused on the road. Siri, Photos, the Camera app, and more are also gaining new features and refinements.

ARKit for developers will bring a range of new augmented reality apps and games to iOS devices, and a new Core ML SDK will let developers build smarter apps. iOS 11 is also the biggest update ever for the iPad, with a new Dock that introduces much improved multitasking, a Files app for better managing files, improved Apple Pencil support, a revamped App Switcher, and a system-wide drag and drop feature.

iOS 11 is available for both registered developers and public beta testers and will be released to the public in September alongside new iPhones. We are getting closer to the end of the beta testing process and should see a golden master release candidate soon.

You know the drill boys

What's that -- fight over whether having more betas is a good thing or bad thing and have people ask for the build #, mock battery life impact, safari performance, phone weight changes, etc.?

There's a new Public Beta 9 for Public Beta testers too. Just added a mention into the post.

Dark mode.... Where are you... oled displays consumes less power if they have to display dark pictures...

Likely golden master (GM) now.

Event soon - six days!

Probably close to GM, but the GM will be a full download of the OS again. Apple will call it out as the Golden Master in the description of the update when that goes live. It'll probably be on the day of the event then the public release will be 3-4 days later.

time I pull the trigger I suppose

Can anyone tell me what if the Visual Voicemail feature in iOS 11 is improved over iOS 10?

I can't begin to describe how frustratingly buggy and unusable voicemail became with iOS 10.

Did they fix what they broke in podcasts? Not saving the right spot on pausing

Terrible battery life, don’t bother

 

[Compote]

Can't wait for the Photoshop font hue comparisons on EverythingApplePro.

 

[Mlrollin91]

Just wow.

"Tapping the Wi-Fi button in Control Center now disconnects from the current network and temporarily disables Wi-Fi networking. (32299242)"

Been that way since beta 1.

 

[ghostface147]

Highly unexpected. Hopefully it helps my woeful battery life the last two betas. Verizon iPhone 6s Plus.

 

[killr_b]

Is Control Center still hideous?

 

[Mac-lover3]

Did not expect that to be honest.. But it's for the better. The more polish now the more they can focus on other things later. iOS 11 has been great since I jumped on the beta (around beta 6). Hope battery life still improves a little that's my biggest wish.

That's been in the release notes for several betas now. The notes are accumulative.
