Just a week after iOS 11 was launched to the public, Apple has quickly followed up with iOS 11.0.1, a small update intended to address bugs and fix various issues with the software.
Release notes accompanying iOS 11.0.1 simply state that the update "includes bug fixes and improvements for your iPhone or iPad."
There are two builds of the software: 15A402 for current iPhones and iPads, and build 15A403 for the forthcoming iPhone X.
iOS 11 includes a new voice for Siri, as well as the ARKit tools that developers can use to create advanced augmented reality applications. It also boasts a redesigned App Store, and various features like Do Not Disturb While Driving and a revamped Music app.
On the iPad, iOS 11 brings an all-new app dock that can be used for multitasking and app switching, as well as dragging and dropping files in between applications.
iOS 11 is compatible with the iPhone 5s and newer, the iPad 2 and up, the iPad Air and newer, and all iPad Pros. It is also compatible with the sixth-generation iPod touch.

Are the battery issues as bad as what you read on other sites? I have a 6S+ and original Apple Watch. I want to upgrade, but can't afford to loose battery performance like some claim. The phone is not a big deal, I have times that it can charge, but the watch is obviously much more difficult to find a time and place to charge.
I applied the GM version of iOS11 a week before the general release and haven't seen any real battery issues with my iPhone 6 after the first day or 2. There are a few programs that seem to startup slower, but nothing that really bothers me too much. For watchOS, I installed v4 on release day and haven't had any problems with battery life or performance there. I like some of the tweaks they've done even on my v0 watch. Overall, its a good upgrade.
No battery problems. But for some time I’ve been getting freezes on my iPad. I’ll hit a letter on the virtual keyboard, and nothing happens. I often can hit it several times, and nothing happens. I can type words, and nothing happens. Sometimes, the first letter appears, the second doesn’t, and then the third does. It goes away after a short while.
in my ebay app, I get a freeze. Scrolling stops, tapping on something results in nothing. I have freezes in some others too. Doesn’t last for long, sometimes for just a few seconds. For example, in Eric’s Solitaire, when I select which game to play in the menu, sometimes nothing happens, and I have to select it again. Sometimes, when moving cards, they magnify as they’re supposed to, and freeze in that magnified state, only partly moved. I have to tap them to finish the move.
Sometimes, when I swipe an app to close it, nothing happens, and I have to do it again, maybe two more times.
and I’m still getting all the first letters of a new paragraph in lower case, entirely on this site. That’s why they’re not capitalized. It’s just too much trouble to constantly go back and delete it and then type it again, though, when I do, it will properly capitalize. Sometimes it will lose the ’ in a word such as “I’ve” if it’s the first.
