Sort of off topic but what has happened to the web design team at Apple? Their landing pages used to be extremely pleasant to read but by now I often struggle to read their headlines. The blurred background with text on top is not easy on my eyes at all. Perhaps my eyes are starting to go bad... Their page for the new iPhone had the same issues. In my opinion their web designs has gone down hill this year.

Yeah, this page isn't the best example, but they're still killing it with the product pages https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/ https://www.apple.com/iphone-8/

They still have that janky scrolling which degrades the experience, for me.

If it's so lag-g-g-g-ing and non-responsive as iOS11. Then I better wait with the update :|

You have problems with iOS 11? Anyways, it's definitely stable, honestly I feel like it's the most stable .0 release I've been on (have been going beta -> GM on almost all releases).

I experience lagging on iOS 11 on both iPhone 7 and the 10.5 inch iPad Pro.

There was no lagging on iOS 10.

Basic things like swiping across home screens lags and feel jittery. Also when you unlock and the apps come into view it's annoying laggy.

I am excited about the new Photos, I am hoping I can stop having to use Lightroom and other tools aimed at real pro's to manage and edit my hobbyist photo collection.

Does anyone know of any issues with this before I press the button?

Do you really have the button? I saw this headline and tried to update the Macs I have that are waiting for this update, but none of them see it in the App Store. And the page linked still says, "Available 9.25".

Not yet. I assume it won't appear until this evening for me. I like to think ahead :)

I do experience lagging even on basic stuff like writing SMS or other-text inputs... (waiting 2-3 seconds for the soft keyboard to response). I'l have to do some Option->Reset when I find time... [iPhone 6+] Not good when you can't trust the device... once my iphone freezed for X seconds, then I realized that random social post were posted to FB, while I tried to touch the display... :) And that scares me :) I have t…

I don't experience input lag, but I definitely experience general UI lag. Everything is so jittery compared to iOS 10. Swipes, transitions, everything lags.

Is it recommended to format the computer and start fresh after upgrading?

Noone I know does this.

My understanding was that recent versions of Mac OS have an upgrade process that works a bit like this anyway — i.e., behind the scenes it's doing a fresh install, then copying your files back across. But I could be wrong.

One of my guys ran into https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/8788 - it was hellish trying to figure out what was happening.

Thanks for the heads up. I was considering using vagrant on this box. I'm currently RDP'ing into a windows box in the office and using that for vagrant most of the time at the moment.

We’re in the phase where low contrast and fuzz is hip again, just give it 18 months

The biggest change I’m hoping for (but not expecting) is the ability to sort shared iCloud albums by time taken, not time added to the album. Currently they’re all but useless for something like a shared album from a vacation, because it groups photos by when family members upload them. I tend to upload photos at the end of each day, but other family members who were shooting on a normal camera waited until the end o…

I'll settle for when shared iCloud albums support a decent size and resolution.

iCloud Photos is frustratingly bad, but I don't want to buy into other cloud ecosystem, like Google's. Does anybody know if it's possible to replicate the integration with Photos on both iOS and macOS, so I could write my own sync thing?
