iOS 11

Apple has unveiled a beta test version of iOS 11, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch operating system, which is available to the public for downloading.

iOS 11 includes hundreds of new features like a redesigned Control Centre, better multitasking and improvements to the camera.

However, since the software is still in development ahead of the full release expected in September, it may be a little buggy at first. Apple recommends that users back up their phones before upgrading, and if possible install it on an iOS device that isn’t their main iPhone.
