Apple, on Wednesday, surprisingly released the first iOS 11 updates to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices worldwide, just less than two weeks after launching its latest mobile operating system upgrade on September 19. The iOS 11.0.1 update comes with tonnes of bug fixes and minor changes.
The California-based iPhone maker zeroes in on providing security patches and performance enhancements. The first-ever iOS 11 build also makes improvements in battery performance to optimise longevity in usage.
