Do we have an official release date yet for iOS 11? Haven't installed the dev beta or anything on my side - think I'll wait for the official release.

That said - maybe I'll pull an old iPad out and give it a spin :)

The official released date will coincide with the date the new iPhones go on sale or thereabouts.

They always say this Fall but no official date.
Rumors are that it will be launched along with iPhone 2017 series in the month of September 2017. Though some say its 17th Sep '17 ;)

Well, if we look at the history of all releases I think there is a pretty good 90% + chance that it will release between 10th Sep and 20th Sep 😃 My guess would be for 12th.

IOS 10 - September 13, 2016
IOS 9 - September 16, 2015
IOS 8 - September 17, 2014
IOS 7 - September 18, 2013
IOS 6 - September 19, 2012

That's more consistent than I thought. Thanks!

Fall release to be expected. Always a very good idea to test development software on a BACKUP device. I always do this. Thanks for the info guys!

I want to go against the trend and guess the 19th (but secretly hope for the 12th because I am impatient).

Well the Fall starts September 22nd this year. So I say the last week of September for announcement.

But that is so long from now... Haha
There will be a public beta later in the year before the actual launch. So you might not have to wait until mid or late September to enjoy all the IOS 11 goodness 😃

Never in August. I will be sometime in mid September with the release of the new iPhone like always.

Exactly. August is summertime, everybody is in a way free, on holiday or celebrating vacation somehow.

It won’t make sense to release new iOS and iDevices in that month.

Oh I know, and I will for sure be taking advantage of that. As soon as I have my spare device I will install it.
