Apple released iOS 11 on September 19th.
If you stayed on the sidelines, you did well.
Indeed, early releases of a brand new operating system invariably brings a few bugs along.
This is why it’s usually wise to wait at least for the second point release.
Still wondering whether you should upgrade your iPhone to iOS 11?
Well, you are not alone asking this question.
My goal with this post is to help you make a decision.
I have fond memories of the iPhone 4.
In fact, it was my first iPhone ever and was a welcome upgrade to my old Nokia E71.
I’m a technologist but not an early adopter, except for one device: the iPad.
And if you’re wondering, yes, my first generation iPad is still working fine.
But let’s get back to the iPhone 4 which was released in 2010 too.
If you’re still using one as your main phone, not only are you missing out on cool features but you’re putting yourself at risk too.
The reason is simple
I’m happy with Pzizz.
It helps me clear my mind around mid-day through a guided meditation (via the “nap” function).
It depends from your current iCloud configuration and what other devices you have in your possession.
If you have activated iCloud Photo Library, then your photos & videos are automatically copied to iCloud. If you have activated the “Optimize iPhone Storage” option, then you do not have the full resolution version of your photos and videos locally stored on your iPhone anymore.
Someone asked the following question anonymously and added this information:
My father and I are sharing the same Apple ID. I have an iPhone 4S, but I just bought an iPhone 6. I want to create a new Apple ID on the iPhone 6, but without losing my Whatsapp chats and photos / videos saved in the iCloud of the old account. What can I do?
Dan Rothbart asked this question on Quora and added the following information:
Yes, #firstworldproblems, I know. My wife and I are both tech savvy, and take too many iPhone pictures and video of our two children. We each have a MacBook with a full internal hard disk, and external storage. She is the better photo organizer. I use clips to make home movies.
With the recent releases of Family Sharing, Apple Photos, and iCloud Photo Library, I see an opportunity to reduce our storage cost/complexity, and to let us each take advantage of the other's creative & organizational skills.
