The question of whether to upgrade to iOS 11.1 is timeless and arises every time Apple releases an update for its iPhone and iPad devices. In this article, Mytour won't advise you whether to upgrade to iOS 11.1 or not, but will provide you with the information available in this iOS 11.1 release to help you better understand it before making the decision.
However, readers should also know that sooner or later, Apple will lock older versions. Therefore, we should be cautious before deciding whether to upgrade to iOS 11 or not.
Is it worth upgrading to iOS 11.1?
Firstly, we need to understand what this iOS 11.1 update brings to users and whether those things are important or not?
1. Addition of Emoji
This is the first thing that Apple has added in iOS 11.1, with over 70 emojis provided for users, offering more options while chatting with friends.
However, the Emoji feature is not very appealing to most users because it takes quite a bit of time to find one that they like. Instead, users can use GIFs, which are not only simple but also much more fun. Therefore, this is just a minor iOS 11 upgrade that can be overlooked.
2. Improved Battery Life
Currently, it's unclear whether the iOS 11.1 upgrade actually works better, saves more battery, or if it's simply Apple's procedural notifications. However, Apple has mentioned that they have put in a lot of work on the system to fix unnecessary battery drain issues.
Regardless, we should still hope for an iOS 11.1 version with better battery life because iOS 11 has been heavily criticized for its battery drain.
3. Multitasking with 3D Touch
Surprisingly, this is one of the features making a comeback, even though 3D Touch on devices like the iPhone 6 Plus or 7 Plus hasn't been utilized much. It allows users to press on the left edge of the device to open multitasking or swipe from left to right to switch between apps.
Apple had previously removed this feature (as it behaved differently on the iPhone X) but then readjusted and reintroduced it in iOS 11.1.
4. System Bug Fixes
Certainly, in any iOS upgrade, countless bugs are fixed, ranging from minor to major issues. All these issues are improved, eliminated, or upgraded to work better with the new versions. And these are the issues that users care about if they encounter them.
In summary of the features above, hopefully, you've found your answer to whether to upgrade to iOS 11.1 or not. Of course, Mytour encourages those who enjoy tinkering with mobile devices and computers to upgrade to iOS 11 because at the moment Apple still allows you to downgrade from iOS 11.1 to iOS 11.0.3, so stop worrying and give the new version a try. However, the window for downgrading from iOS 11.1 to iOS 11.0.3 is probably limited, so if you plan to tinker, do it now.
