IOS 11 Beta is available to everyone, download it now!

For example, Apple is using multitouch technology to power a new dock with drag-and-drop functionality, addressing a major pain point for iPad users. (Check out the instructions for how to do that here.) But before you even think about installing the iOS 11 public beta, you must understand that the new operating system will be bug-riddled.

Multitasking is being revamped. It updates nearly all of Apple’s apps, bringing social features to Apple Music and document scanning to Notes, for instance. Use your Apple ID credentials to proceed. So, although it shouldn’t affect the hardware anyway, or affect the software in any irreversible way, you will still be able to get your device repaired under warranty if it does develop problems. This step is however not advised, since the update not only brings in new features, but also a bunch of security updates and fixes that are essential for keeping your devices safe. Are you a techie who knows how to write? There will be many augmented reality apps for iOS, since there are tons of third-party developers that are working on this ability right now.

The iPad and iPhone finally have an accessible file storage system.

Before telling you how to install iOS 11 on your iDevices, let me tell that you can run the new OS on iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, and iPhone SE. This excellent feature doesn’t rely on you configuring the iPhone via Bluetooth, as I had expected. Affected devices include the third generation iPad, the original iPad Mini, and any iPhone 4S or older.

The App Store has seen a comprehensive makeover and now comes with separate tabs for apps, games and today’s featured apps. Open Safari browser in it and go to beta.apple.com/profile.

I mean, it’s still on that screen, but now it’s a wide, app-height floating rectangle, and you can fill it with up to 12 app icons.

Apple leaks suggest the fingerprint scanner will also be moved underneath the iPhone 8. Your phone will crash like a ’90s SUV, your battery will be murdered in a back alley by the apps you trusted, and you will pioneer new and exciting profanities.

Cnet reported that Apple’s engineers have integrated a new automatic light and dark mode which will instinctively change the tint of the user-interface depending on when the hardware is being used. Apple told CNBC it made this change because the top paid lists were often loaded with games, and this now helps highlight apps from other developers.
