Brace yourselves.

Nobody likes updating their iPhones because, to be honest, it's just a load of unnecessary effort. But the latest iOS instalment is causing more ruckus then ever before for a number of reasons. Firstly, the new iOS update needs 2.3GB of storage to download... I mean COME ON. With the average iPhone being 16GB on purchase, this is an absolutely insane amount of required storage which many of us don't have. https://twitter.com/TheAlabamaBeard/status/910190975930261504 https://twitter.com/salmanswift/status/910190258108665858 Swiping down to check your notifications now slides down the lock screen which has everyone totally confused. https://twitter.com/OfficialJakeT97/status/910449900894216193 One of the CREEPIEST updates... iOS 11 now has screen recording which means people can now record your Snapchats without you having a notion. Fantastic...... https://twitter.com/iisbaeii/status/910418940345700353 https://twitter.com/strippedmaya/status/910439028817846272 Like WHY WHY WHY? Another reported flaw is once again a serious drain on battery. https://twitter.com/Fotopunctuation/status/910416351105372161 https://twitter.com/ratsbuDsPants/status/910415873206308864 But now... let's try focus on some of the positives. You can now turn mobile data on and off instantly by sliding up. Success. https://twitter.com/piyushbaagra/status/910410024488333313 The camera roll now supports GIFS. Yeow. https://twitter.com/WastedHoe/status/910432725433225216 https://twitter.com/davidgoscinny/status/910424944621883393 And there are some very cool iMessage effects. https://twitter.com/StellaGuntur/status/910417611262853120 Overall the verdict on this update is pretty 50/50.
