This week Apple released the second beta version of iOS 11 for iPhone and iPad. Users testing operating system, continue to report bugs, poor performance, battery and performance issues wireless modules, as well as application crashes.
These problems with iOS 11 may force users to downgrade to iOS 10. However, you can spend 15-20 minutes of free time and try to improve the operation of the OS.
Restart device
Experience shows that most problems with iOS 11 can be resolved with a simple reboot. Simply hold down the power button and turn off your iPhone or iPad, and then turn the device back on.
Free up memory
If there is little left on your device free memory, it is highly recommended to delete unnecessary data. This will help speed up your device a lot.
Go to Settings -> General -> iPhone storage. iOS 11 details the distribution of information on the iPhone or iPad. Scroll through the list, see what's taking up the most space, and remove unnecessary content.
Update apps
Typically, older versions of apps are not compatible with new versions of iOS, so it's worth checking the App Store for updates. This, of course, will not fix the problem with programs crashing, but it can still help.
If the update does not help, try reinstalling the problematic application.
Remove unused programs
App incompatibilities affect iOS 11, so it's possible that some apps may be causing the operating system to slow down.
First of all, try removing rarely used software. The process is quite labor-intensive, but in some cases it can help.
Disable widgets
iOS 11 has a lot of widgets. If you don't use interactive elements interface, it is better to disable them. This will speed up your iPhone and iPad.
To turn off widgets, swipe right when you're on home screen, scroll down and click the Edit button. Next, a screen will appear where you can choose which widgets should be displayed and which not.
Disable background updates
If you have background content refresh mode enabled, try disabling it and see if your device runs faster.
When background refresh is enabled, apps constantly update information. This is a fairly resource-intensive option, so disabling it can greatly improve performance.
Go to Settings -> General -> Content Update and disable the feature.
Decrease animation
Sometimes animation stutters occur on iOS devices, in which case you need to turn it off. To do this, open Settings -> General -> Universal Access and activate the “Motion reduction” function.
There, in the “Universal Access” item, transparency is reduced and contrast is increased, which can also improve performance.
Download the latest iOS 11
Beta versions of iOS 11 will never be perfect, but with each new update the OS gets rid of bugs. If you don't have the latest version of iOS 11 installed, try updating your operating system. With a 99% chance this will help fix the main problems.
We all know how crude and buggy iOS 11 turned out to be. It had a detrimental effect on the performance of many top-end mobile devices from Apple, let alone the old ones... The owner of one of these “oldies,” namely the iPhone 6, was Medium author Maciej Lipiec, a product designer and director of user experience.
I'm still using an old iPhone 6, which I was planning to upgrade to a new model this fall, but then some things happened that made me now consider switching to Android.
What's happened? iOS 11. I made a mistake updating my old device until the new firmware version. iOS 11 made my iPhone 6 unusable. It used to be a great smartphone - maybe not the fastest and without latest features, but still pretty good. After the update, the entire battery began to be consumed within half an hour, and system crashes became commonplace. Now I need to spend most of the day near a power source, so my mobile phone became stationary.
It was like Apple was telling me, “Now you really need to buy new iPhone, because we ruined your old one, haha!” I have to update to a new version not because I'm a satisfied user Apple products(even though I really wanted to upgrade), but because Apple dictated so. And I protest against this!
Let me point out that I am, in fact, an Apple fan. Over the past 10 years, I've owned several Macs and iPhones, three iPads, as well as routers, keyboards, mice, etc.
I have always admired how long Apple devices can last. I still use MacBook Air 2011 - it's slow, but quite suitable for mail, the Internet, presentations and working in Sketch, and mine home computer- This Mac Mini The 2011 I upgraded so it handles pretty well. Hell, my dad still uses the old heavy one MacBook Pro 2007, which with a new RAM and SSD is good enough for its tasks (it is worth noting that on new Macs it is impossible to upgrade).
I also have one of the first iPads lying around somewhere, completely unusable now, which now looks more like a beautiful paper brick - at best, it can run Spotify (one of the few applications that still works fine). I understand all this perfectly well, because iPad first very few generations are installed RAM and a slow processor, and most applications do not support the ancient version of iOS. Okay, we can agree with this.
But now Apple has decided (hard to imagine it was unconscious) to ruin my old smartphone, which worked great the day before the update to iOS 11, and now it's just a disaster! I think it's mean, irresponsible, wasteful, and, of course, it makes me question reliability, which makes me angry. iOS devices are now powerful enough to be more like computers: there's no real need to replace them every year, or even every few years, unless you want the latest, fastest, coolest thing. My iPhone 6 did not become slower on iOS 11 than on iOS 10 - it simply stopped being mobile...
I thought: maybe the problem with my battery is hardware and not software in nature? But why then did such a huge difference appear immediately after updating the firmware? Many of my friends with older iPhones began to complain about the same thing: after iOS installations 11, time battery life their devices fell into the underworld. AND large number people on the Internet also confirm this.
The problem is that Apple has made it almost impossible to roll back previous version systems. I am, of course, not a lawyer and may be wrong, but don’t we, as clients, have the right to return that software, with which you bought the device?
Apple often points out the problem of supporting Android devices, but how many of their own old gadgets are left broken after updating to the latest version of iOS? Apple's statistics are good, but completely unusable in real life.
Either the Cupertino people are deliberately making fun of their old devices, or they are not competent enough to force new system work for them. iOS 11 does not bring anything new to the “oldies” except crashes and battery drain. Why do they allow iOS 11 to be installed even on devices that are actually no longer supported?
I'm not a hater of iOS 11 at all and I love it on my iPad Pro...
But this harmful influence new software to previous ones Apple models really disappoints a loyal customer. This is wrong, Apple, completely wrong. I hope this is just a bug and the next update will bring my old iPhone back to normal, but the thrill is gone... And now I'm researching Android smartphones.
Big Geek's Opinion
The iPhone 6 turned out to be some kind of sacred device, on which people began to linger for a long time. Perhaps not like with the iPhone 5S or SE, which simply began to be bought en masse at a “tasty” price, namely, they were delayed, making no sense to upgrade further. Many of my friends, and I myself, walked/are walking with the “six” until the last moment, but I can also note that with each new version iOS device, who had just been very cheerful, gradually faded. And this is considering the fact that I have not yet reached iOS 11 on it!
It turns out that Apple really is deliberately slowing down older devices? It is quite possible, but I would like to believe that this is not the case. You will say that you can simply not update, but why then does the iPhone try to force an update several times a day, displaying a full-screen banner asking you to enter a password in order to remove it? Somehow suspiciously intrusive. And it’s just inconvenient to use a smartphone like that.
Well, what do you say? Are there any of our readers who own an iPhone 6 running iOS 11? Do you have the same problems? Do you have them on newer devices? Write in the comments.
September 19 (release date) released iOS 11, many have already managed to update, because so many different features have been announced. Some even thought that augmented reality would come to their 5S. It will be possible to run cool games, measure a person’s height - but figs! Let's not drag our feet and get straight to the hard stuff.
Battery life
Yes, iOS 11 eats up battery power like crazy. What's happened? Similar problems happened before, when iOS 7, 8, 9, 10 updates arrived. Then everything was resolved, but, for example, it seems to me that the most optimal power consumption was in iOS 6. Unfortunately, in the first build of the official release of the 11th version of iOS there are obvious Problems with charge consumption - that's for sure. And keep in mind that on my iPhone everything is optimized for minimal consumption: geolocation services are disabled, sleep modes are configured, cellular data transfer is disabled when not necessary, only supported network types are selected (4G is not supported by the operator) and much more.
Games and programs won't launch
I was going to play my favorite toy, which just the other day got stuck, and I went through a bunch of puzzles, after six months of inactivity. In general, I launch it, and: “It is necessary to update such and such a game. The developer needs to update this program to make it work with iOS 11."
Well, that's it, the mood is ruined. The developer is unlikely to update, there isn’t even advertising, and I received it for free, it seems, as part of some wave of unprecedented generosity from Apple, which is called “on the ball.”
Switching speed
Yes, now my iPhone 5S starts up and reboots much longer than it did in the “dozens”. By the way, don’t forget that the “nine” worked even faster. Wow, we'll soon be waiting an hour for it to load. No, just kidding next update the smartphone will not receive it at all.
The keyboard is slow
Thank you, of course, but at least, the first day of rolling out the update, the keyboard was glitching, crazy. The set of letters simply infuriated me, it felt like I had a cheap Android smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread for $20. To tell the truth, I will say that after some time a cache was created and it became better, but the set is not ideal in any case.
Streaming
Wow, you guys are just crazy here. Now, instead of on-the-fly streaming, some kind of built-in player has appeared, which does not snatch the direct address from the player, but plays according to some unknown schemes. It has become worse to work because it takes longer to load, often glitches, and often does not play at all. I looked on the iPad, there is no such crap (there old version iOS). The same videos play normally.
And since some update on the “ten”, the ability to listen to videos from YouTube in locked screen mode has disappeared. Yes, what do you think when you do this?
Now you have to use the stupid UC Browser to listen in the background, normal, right?
That’s all, don’t forget that yesterday I published another article that reveals as many as 3 reasons why you should upgrade to iOS 11.
