The 13 most useful new features in iOS 11 (AAPL)
Apple's newest operating system for iPhones and iPads, iOS 11, is finally available. The update is packed with features, but only a handful of those features will really change the way you use your iPhone.
Here are 13 of the most useful new features in iOS 11:
1. Live Photos are now much better.

Now you can make your live photos into GIFs, which you can make bounce back and forth. Also, you can finally choose which still frame of the Live Photo is the main image, making it easier to find the perfect moment to keep for yourself, or share on social media.
2. You can now store roughly twice as many photos and videos on your phone.

Apple changed the compression format in iOS 11, which means you can store more photos and videos on your phone than you could before — roughly twice as many as you could store in iOS 10. You need to activate this feature though: Just go to your Settings app, select Photos, then select "Optimize iPhone Store."
3. The App Store got a much-needed face-lift.

Apple finally brought the design language it established for its other apps like Apple Music and News to the App Store, and the result is super clean, with better, bolder text. The new tabs at the bottom of the app are also an improvement, as I really enjoy the personalized "Today" tab that highlights unique apps, as well as the separate tab just for games, making new or notable ones much easier to find.
