I agree. The phone looks like it is running faster. If not faster, then it feels like things run smoother. I wonder if making the GUI to run more consistent makes the phone look like it is running faster. Like if you hide the load screens in video games, it makes it feel like its running faster.

I think I might have read that some of that has to do with the fact that 32-bit apps are no longer supported.

Like… "AimPoint" and "Scorecard." :-)

I upgraded to iOS 11 on both my iPad (the 2017 plan ol' iPad) and my iPhone 6. After a day or two of running hot and sluggish, the iPhone is actually much snappier than I expected it to be at this stage in its life. I like most of the changes, including the visual ones. I still haven't really found the best way to use the new Podcasts app (ugh), and I'm running into some weird behavior with email notifications (when they pop up on the lock screen I can mark one as read, but then the rest disappear from the lock screen). Other than that I'm enjoying it. I particularly like the pull up keyboard feature on the iPad.

I’ve upgraded my iPad Air 2 to iOS 11, but I’m holding off on my iPhone 6s for now.

Not sure I’m happy with the upgrade on the iPad yet. Email app was stalling on getting emails sometimes  (couldn’t connect to server or some such message I never had with 10)—I think this is supposed to be fixed with an update they just put out this week. Hopefully.

The thing I’m still noticing is it really doesn’t want to rotate between landscape and portrait as easily as it did before. Sometimes it’s just fine.  Other times I have to rotate it a few times before it goes.  Once it put the screen upside down (went opposite the way I rotated). Once it wouldn’t rotate at all until I shut it off and restarted. Anyone else seeing this?

Aside from that, the thing that might keep me from upgrading the iPhone is the control center WiFi and Bluetooth controls. They no longer turn them off completely—just disconnect from devices and networks but leave the WiFi and BT on.  If I understand correctly, that means that WiFi will still be looking for networks as I drive around town. (Unless I go into settings.) I commonly open the control center and turn off WiFi as I’m out and about to avoid getting the “join networks” everywhere I go. 

Anyone else notice these or am I alone in my reluctance? I guess after upgrading the iPad I don’t see that it made anything significantly better in my daily use. What am I missing?

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of that change either.

BTW I turned off the "prompt me to join networks" thing like six years ago. If I want to join a network, I do it manually. It'll still connect to previously known networks, too, of course.

I've been happy with it, and haven't noticed those things.

In all honesty though nothing much really changed for me. None of the things I do regularly changed all that much. I like the new Control Center, like the new ability to record my screen as a movie, LOVE the new screenshot tool so I don't have to delete them manually all the time… and a few other things. But nothing big.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
