I am definitely skipping this update for a while.
Even something that I do every single day - which is flick the wifi off as soon as I am out and about - is now made more complicated than it is right now!
Have to wonder WTF apple are playing at right now in so many regards...
How is it? It's exactly the same on mine. Swipe up and one click?Even something that I do every single day - which is flick the wifi off as soon as I am out and about - is now made more complicated than it is right now!

Half my phone is borked, without warning. fk you apple.
The oneupside is hopefully this will force some of my more tight fisted customers to replace their ste old dvrs when the can’t view them after the ios update.
I saw that an iPhone? Looks like some dodgy device bought from a chinese website. The oneupside is hopefully this will force some of my more tight fisted customers to replace their ste old dvrs when the can’t view them after the ios update.
My phone and iPad work perfectly with iOS11 the whole process was very easy.

No issues here, but I don't use a load of shonky old Chinese apps on my phone.
To be fair to Apple - developers have had notice of this since 2015. If they haven't done anything about it by now......
And Microsoft gets flak for cruft in their OS from supporting ancient applications...

If your device is full of dodgy unsupported apps, they might not work on iOS11. They’ll certainly stop working at some point.
Well a bit of warning would have prevented me installing the update. The shonky chinese apps are to interface with hardware installed at customers sites that i need to support. My iphone is a business tool that i rely on to earn a living and now without any option to rollback it is useless.

Do you have a backup from iOS 10? Presumably you do either on iCloud and/or iTunes. You could restore to that?OldGermanHeaps said:

Agree about the rollback but iOS updates have always been a one-way trip haven't they? For a business tool I would really urge a bit more caution with major updates. I also rely on mine for business, but I wont consider updating to iOS 11 for 3 - 6 months.Durzel said:

+1Unless you've customised the dock it's in exactly the same place as it was before, with the same gesture, etc.
You know have to dig into settings to fully turn Wi-Fi off. The message I see in the Wi-Fi settings page with the control centre button selected to off is
'New Wi-Fi network connections have been turned off from Control Centre'
So definitely not the same as before.

Oh right, that I didn't know. Though to be honest I can't think of a situation where disconnecting from one wifi would automatically connect me to another one?

Indeed.Also if it's a business tool I presume you must have several manual backups of it? On that basis you could just restore to one of those? Problem solved.
Though I do agree that there probably ought to have been some kind of message saying that updating would "invalidate several apps currently installed on your iPhone"

I actually like the new control centre wifi behaviour. On a couple of occasions I have switched off wifi and forgotten to switch it back on. With the new system it connects again when you move from your location, or at 5am the next morning. It means that wifi etc is then available for continuity/Apple Watch etc.
