iOS 11 - Anyone playing with the beta?
Curious to hear opinions from people who have installed the beta of iOS 11... I've got an ipad that I rarely use because of the challenges with productivity (ipad has always been more of a toy than a real productivity driven device in my mind).
I just read an overview of the changes in 11 and a lot of seems to do with making the ipad more conducive to getting stuff done.
Has anyone gone through the trouble of installing the beta of ios11?
If so, what do you think?
Worth it?

Only bad news is that it doesn't support 32 bit.
Else smooth mostly
I use my iPad for nearly everything. Coding and more complicated server admin stuff (so anything more than
apt-get update...) are the only things I use a laptop for. Of course it depends on what a person does for living, obviously an iPad can't replace a computer for a lot of people (especially the demographic frequenting this forum).I'm going to be installing it on my iPad Mini this week. I've been following a lot of people who are using it (those with developer accounts who've had access to it since the announcement) and the general consensus is that it works really well, especially so early in the beta stage.
If your iPad is not required tool as you say, I suggest you go for it. You can always role back if you don't like it. Just remember to do an encrypted iTunes backup before you start.
Been using Developer Beta for around 2 weeks now. I’m just having some issue with battery life. Other than that, it’s usable.
Didn’t get any trouble installing it. I registered my UDID for around 10 bucks and installed the profile and I updated to iOS 11 using OTA.
Also using it on my productive iphone 6s since developer start. its running pretty fine there a some bugs which could stress you (because you are often using that feature).
Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/ for known bugs.
Been on beta1 since it relases.
Beta1 is almost untorelatable due to laggy, beta2 seems smoother , but i do have ocasional crashes.
New features only screen record seems useful to me , but it's just me.
I want to play with it, but I want a stable phone too :-(
Close the app, Close the app, Close it. Ok it closed. god dammit close it close it.... Beta 2 in a nutshell.
Heh, I think even iPhone 5s support this update? Not sure tho, but you can lend from someone else... Which is what I usually do when I need to test something iPhone related.
Never been a fan. Runs smooth, but it's sort of limited.
Kids seem to love iPhones, got a 1 year old girl that knows how to call to someone and how to take pictures. :P
I have the dev. certificate, but it doesn't work for me. It keeps saying
Failed to UpdateHow big of a hit did your battery life take?
Does it support IPv6?
Has for a while, and since last year all new apps must support ipv6-only networks.

Most devs are using higher-level APIs so it's not hard for them to certify.
I'm enjoying it on my iPad so far, getting used to the multi-tasking features is taking some time though.
However, Plex now refuses to play anything and I can't seem to fix it.
how big is the OTA download size?
