    Whats your favorite new feature?
    Mines the Screen Recorder.
    Can record anything including gameplay and upload to YouTube.

    Also improvements to Siri including real-time language translation is cool.

    Android don't have these :p

    lol, Siri getting better, I'll believe it when I see it. I sincerely hope that Apple have been tracking the number of times I'll make multiple attempts at sending a text and give up and do it manually. Anything more complex than "on my way" is too much for it!

    If you watch YT videos comparing Siri with Google Assistant and Alexa and Bixby on iOS 11 you will see Siri is vastly improved now and is only behind Google. Personally i prefer Siri- has more of a emotional connection than saying Hey Gargle.. er Google. lol.

    and when I tell her 'I love you', she says 'I know'. Just like Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back. :(

    Slightly off-topic - can you now tell Siri to send a message as a text message? My damn kids keep turning data off when they're running low.

    With old Siri if you said "send a text message to... " and that person was normally an imessage user Siri would insist on sending the message as an imessage. You then have to:
    • unlock your phone
    • open text messaging
    • open the messages for that person
    • long hold and select "send as text message"
    which all defeats the purpose of using hands-free and Siri in the first place.

    Still not installed- gotta back up my whole phone first. No space on my PC to back-up, so gotta purchase new HDD.
