Morning Update to #iOS11

The much touted iOS 11 finally came out. I wasted no time this morning in getting the update up. All my iPads and my phone had been updated. Maybe I will do the same for Anita later tonight.

The update process had been super smooth. Clearly Apple had sorted out the links before the final version were released and I was able to get my phone updated within 20 minutes.

So far there had not been any glitches and a full day of use might just reveal any issues, but I was sure it would just be a small app update after that to get everything running again ...

Let's see how the thing fare for the rest of the day!

Update Time

As Apple was gearing up to their next iteration of the iOS, the iOS 11, the 10.3.3 update came out. I didn't waste much time doing the update and the process seemed to be straightforward enough. No hiccups.

Let's hope that it brought some improvements ...

Juicing the Kit Kat

I can say that there was no real noticeable difference since the upgrade so far except for the battery live. I have yet to charge my Nexus 7 since the morning although I had been with it almost constantly with push options turned on via my mobile network. I still have 37% on the battery indicator.

Is that a good sign? I sure hope so, even though I don't have any games installed on the unit. I had watched a few YouTube video though.

There were mentioned that battery optimisation was one of the key features of the new update. Hopefully it lives up to the billing. In the meantime, I would continue to be online until I go to bed, and would not charge until I wake up in the morning. If there is still juice, then I would be really impressed. Watch this space ...

This also made me wonder if the update on my Nexus 4 would prolong its battery live. The battery really sucks on that phone, and it would be nice if there is improvement even though I would only have wifi on it.

I Got Kit Kat

Finally the download arrived. My Nexus 7 received the OTA downloads overnight and when I disconnected it from the charger, all I needed to do was to press the agree button and the update would just begin.

10 minutes later, I was up and running. Any difference? Nothing noticeable thus far except the colour of the top status bar. Not the Nexus 4 yet. And my HTC One only got 4.3 last week. It would be some time before Kit Kat arrives there.

Let's see if anything new to discover here ....

She Was Candied Up As Well

After I to my devices updated, it was Anita's turn. She has an old iPhone 4 and an iPad Mini. We managed to sort out the iPhone last night and she had been all candied up today. Tonight, I would be the iPad.

My brother-in-law also updated his iPhone 5 last night and he found that his battery life suffered. Not sure if it was because his emails were being downloaded in the background or something which had to do with the new iOS. Even the forums were buzzing about the matter.

My iPhone had been functioning great so far, and hopefully it stayed that way. My iPad Retina also was AOK. No glitches as yet ......
