Update: added tips and links to thetutorials, files
recent practices
Last Monday, Apple unveiled
its new mobile system intended for iPhone and iPad:iOS
11. Not all machines will be able to benefit from it, we were ablesee here
which versions will be affected. Besides the
complete summary of the conference not to be missed here, we were able
delve deeper into the main new featuresvia ces articles,
captures and videos.
The more we dig into this version, the more it appears full of modifications
more or less important, but also interesting and practical details.
But both the conference and the articles do not allownot to do
a complete turn. It is therefore a somewhat particular vision that we
offers you today, with alist of changes and new features
seen until now in the versions of iOS 11 made available to
developers.
This inventory (certainly not exhaustive), is accompanied by links
to our corresponding articles. It is bound to enrich itself, with additions
regular and modifications. Particularly if functions are deleted (or
added), which can happen with the different beta versions.
Do not hesitate to report iOS functions and modifications in comments
