A giant step for iPhone. A monumental leap for iPad.
iOS 11 sets a new standard for what is already the worlds most advanced
mobile operating system. It makes iPhone better than before. It makes iPad
more capable than ever. And now it opens up both to amazing possibilities
for augmented reality in games and apps. With iOS 11, iPhone and iPad are
the most powerful, personal and intelligent devices theyve ever been.
iPad.
iPad has always been a powerful way to work, play and learn. And iOS 11
brings it to life like never before. New features and capabilities let you
get more done more quickly and easily, making your iPad experience even more
powerful and personal. Do with it what you will. Because now you can.
Files.
Wherever they are, theyre here.
The new Files app brings all your files together. You can easily browse,
search and organise all your files in one place. And theres a dedicated
place for your recent files. Not just the ones on your iPad, but also those
in apps, on your other iOS devices, in iCloud Drive, and across other
services like Box and Dropbox.
The new Dock.
Bottom line, its a more powerful way to work.
The new Dock is a foundational change for iPad. Its now available from any
screen. So with just a swipe, you can open and switch apps instantly. And
you can customise it with more of your favourite apps. The Dock also changes
as you work. Intelligently suggested apps like ones you opened recently
and the last one you were using on your iPhone or Mac appear on the right
side of the Dock.
Multitasking.
Better in multiple ways.
iOS 11 makes it easier and more intuitive than ever to multitask. You can
open a second app from the Dock and both apps remain active in Split View as
well as Slide Over. You can drag the second app in Slide Over to the left.
And you can get back to your favourite App Spaces in the redesigned App
Switcher.
Drag and Drop.
Give it a touch.
Drag and Drop comes to iPad, allowing you to move text, photos and files
from one app to another. And because its been designed for the large
Multi-Touch display of iPad, moving them around is pure magic. You can touch
and move just about anything or things anywhere on the screen.
Apple Pencil.
More ways to make your mark.
iOS 11 makes Apple Pencil for iPad Pro more versatile, powerful and natural
than ever. Its more useful for all kinds of tasks, such as taking notes,
getting work done or simply being creative.
Instant Markup
Now you can mark up a PDF or screenshot faster and more easily. Step one,
pick up your Apple Pencil. Step two, touch it to the screen. Step three,
start writing. Its called Instant Markup for a reason.
Instant Notes
Simply tap your Apple Pencil on the Lock screen and start taking notes
immediately. Whatever you create is saved in the Notes app.
Inline Drawing
When you begin to draw or jot down something in Notes, the text around it
can automatically move aside. And now handwritten words in Notes are
searchable. It all happens on your device, so your private information stays
that way. You can also add inline drawings in Mail.
Scan and Sign
The new Document Scanner in Notes automatically senses and scans a document,
crops the edges, and removes any tilt or glare. Fill in the blanks or sign
it with Apple Pencil, then save or share it easily.
QuickType keyboard.
Typing as quick as a flick.
Letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation marks are now all on the same
keyboard no more switching back and forth. Just flick down on a key to
quickly select what you need.
Augmented reality.
Apps that can change your world.
iOS 11 introduces ARKit, a new framework that allows developers to easily
create unparalleled augmented reality experiences for iPhone and iPad. By
blending digital objects and information with the environment around you,
augmented reality takes apps beyond the screen, freeing them to interact
with the real world in entirely new ways. Like never before, games and apps
can offer fantastically immersive and fluid experiences that are out of this
world, yet virtually within it.
iPhone and iPad. More essential everyday
essentials.
iOS 11 makes iPhone and iPad so smart, they learn from you. So capable, they
help you in more powerful and personal ways. And so in tune with you, they
do things for you before you even ask.
Live Photos.
Livelier than ever.
Now your Live Photos can be even more expressive, creative, and just plain
fun.

or let Photos suggest which ones would make great loops.
Make your Live Photo rock back and forth. While you shake with laughter.
Capture the elements of time and movement. Create a beautiful effect that
used to be possible only with a DSLR camera. Stars become bright lines
across the night sky. A waterfall, a magical blur.
Camera.
See your photos in a whole new light.
New professional-quality filters take the camera on iPhone to another level.
Portrait photos are more expressive. Skin tones more natural. There are even
filters for applying classic looks to your portraiture photography.
Next-generation compression technology lets you take new photos with the
same quality as before at half the file size.
The all-new App Store.
The App Store has been redesigned from the ground up to help you discover
new apps and games you cant live without. Youll see daily stories by
experts, a dedicated Games tab, lists for all kinds of apps and much more.
Its the biggest thing to come to the App Store since apps.

with your friends just by swiping across the totally redesigned app drawer.
All the goodies, less effort.
Siri.
A more personal personal assistant.
iOS 11 makes the worlds most popular intelligent assistant even more
helpful. Through advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence, Siri
is more essential throughout your day, every day.

Personal DJ
Ask Siri in English how to say something in Chinese, Spanish, French, German
or Italian, and
Siri will translate the phrase. Like your hotel room in Rome? Tell your
host. È fantastico!
Apple Music knows your tastes. So when you tell Siri to play some music,
youll hear a song you love. Or a song youre going to love. Siri can also
answer music trivia questions like Whos the drummer in this song?
Smarter for you.
Siri has always been more than a voice. With iOS 11, Siri is even more
helpful. It learns from you and is able to anticipate what you want and make
suggestions before you even ask. And everything about you is encrypted end
to end, so your personal information remains private.

As you type, Siri can suggest names of films, places anything youve
recently viewed. If you tell a friend youre on your way, Siri can even
suggest your estimated arrival time.
Siri now suggests searches in Safari based on what you were just reading.
And when you confirm an appointment or a flight on a travel website, Siri
asks if you want to add it to your calendar.
Apple Music.
Discover music with a little help from your friends.
Now your friends can help you discover new songs and artists. Each of you
can have your own profile on Apple Music, where you can see playlists
theyve shared as well as albums and stations they listen to often.
AirPlay 2. Home, sweet-sounding home.
With the new AirPlay 2, you can control your home audio system and the
speakers throughout your house. You can play a song in the living room and
your kitchen at the same time. Adjust the volume in any room. Or have your
music start instantly on all your speakers in sync with one another.
Control Centre.
Make it your own.
iOS 11 lets you customise the redesigned Control Centre so you can change
the settings for the things you do most. Want to be ready when inspiration
hits? Add a Voice Memos control. Want to dim the lights in the dining room
with a tap? Add Home controls. Or use 3D Touch in Control Centre to unlock
even more commands.
Lock screen.
All your notifications in one handy place.
The Lock screen is even more powerful. To get to all your notifications,
just pull it down like a cover sheet from the top of the screen. At a
glance, you can see both your recent and missed notifications in one place.
Do Not Disturb.
When youre driving, just drive.
iPhone can now sense when youre driving and prevent you from being
distracted by calls, text messages and notifications until later. People
trying to reach you can automatically be notified that youre driving.
Maps.
Stay on course. Indoors and out.
Whether youre going on a new adventure or just trying to get back to your
new favourite restaurant, Maps makes all your journeys smoother. From indoor
maps to lane guidance arrows, its easier than ever to get around.

QuickType keyboard.

Holding a coffee in one hand and your iPhone in the other? Simply touch and
hold the emoji key, select one-handed typing, and the keys will instantly
move closer to your thumb.

peasy.
