iPhone Any Word on When New iOS 11 Features Will Be Enabled

[DblHelix]

Just curious if there is any word on when iMessage peer-2-peer payments or iMessage in iCloud will be enabled?

Apple's silence on this is deafening and speaks volumes.

They didn't mention anything during the keynote, but the release notes for a previous beta said iCloud Messages would be coming in a later update. I think they'll turn on payments on the 19th.

If you look at
https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/

New with iOS 11
Pay friends in Messages.*

• * Coming this fall.

Not sure what that means, but I don't think it's coming the 19th.

Perhaps to you, to me not so much.

The iOS 11 page has it listed as a feature, but no asterisk indicating that it’s coming later. https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-11/

No sign of Apple Pay cash in the gm, was hoping it would launch with iOS 11, I’m guessing this is something that won’t launch into next year sometime. Too bad.

Also.. AirPlay 2?

I think the residual iOS 11 features from WWDC that didn't make it into the GM, will come with iOS 11.1 at end of October with the iPhone X.

I think so too.

Yeah, I noticed that as well . I know it's definitely not in the GM.

It may be a server-side activation - or it may be an 11.1 feature. I guess we’ll find out for sure on the 19th.

The GM would have already been analyzed by users and it would have been already determined that this functionality is in the GM. It's not. The GM is the same as the version being released on 9/19, therefore we know for sure these features aren't coming in the release on the 19th. The earliest we could see it is with 11.1, which also aligns with Apple saying, "Coming this fall".

 

[Chazzle]

I’m guessing that 11.1 beta will drop on the 18th and that will have the framework for Apple Pay Cash. However, I don’t see the feature actually working until October with the release of iPhone X and iOS 11.1.

 

[MrGimper]

iCloud Messages was removed during an early beta with the accompanying statement of "will be reintroduced in a later version of iOS 11". Many interpreted this incorrectly as meaning a later beta, when in fact it means 11.1 or something.

I think the residual iOS 11 features from WWDC that didn't make it into the GM, will come with iOS 11.1 at end of October with the iPhone X.

+1
