Hey iPad and iPhone Users: iOS11 is Here!

Related image

It’s finally here and available now. iOS 11 is a major upgrade from the previous version and there might be a few changes that confuse you at first. But, I think you will like most of them. You can wait for your phone or iPad to notify you that it is ready, but you don’t have to.

This edition covers iOS 11 in depth (mostly in the Mobile Computing section)…at least the most important issues you need to know right up front (sorry Android users…no Android stories in this edition).

iOS11 is for iPhones 5S and 5SE on up. It is also available for iPad Mini 2 on up…iPad Air and all later models…and the iPod Touch, 6th Generation. If you are not sure if it is available for you device, check out this Web Page.

I have not installed it yet…probably tomorrow. But I hope you find this new upgrade useful.
