iOS 11 and iOS 11.3 features downlaod from 9apps
It's a big deal even if you're not buying the new iPhone X or iPhone 8. Your device may feel like new thanks to several user interface changes and fresh features.
Importantly, the latest version of Apple's software fixes irritating iOS 11 problems and adds a battery health function to track and even halt performance throttling.
So what's iOS 11.3 like? Is it worth downloading or waiting for iOS 12? And is it bug-free enough for you to do so? Below re our thoughts on every major feature.
Four new Animoji: lion, dragon, skull and bear
New battery health menu and AR improvements
No iMessages in iCloud or AirPlay 2 multi-room audio
You download the iOS 11.3 today and assume new Animoji masks, just in case you think their 15 minutes of Karaoke Animoji fame isn't over yet.
There are four new Animoji masks for the iPhone X coming with 11.3: lion, dragon, skull and bear. Sadly, you still can't use Animoji outside of the iMessages app yet.

Apple is even more bullish on AR, so it's bringing ARKit 1.5 to the masses with the ability to more accurately map virtual objects to new surfaces, including irregular shaped walls. We got to see this demoed on the new iPad 2018 with an app called Boulevard AR.

You'll find a new battery health menu in iOS 11.3 settings menu. Apple is labeling it a beta, but it can already tell your maximum battery capacity, indicating how much it has degraded. Our five-month-old iPhone X can charge up to 99%, for example.
Older iPhones will also find the ability switch off performance throttling in the battery menu if they favor normal phone speed over battery longevity. This was at the heart of the iPhone slowdown scandal that sparked the new for this menu.
Here's what you won't find on iOS 11.3: Messages still can't be stored on iCloud in this update. Apple has promised to free up space on your phone, which is handy if you text photos and videos to your friends. Also, when you delete a message, it vanishes on your other devices (like a Mac or iPad). Sadly, it may be saved for iOS 11.4.
We're also waiting to test out AirPlay 2 with multi-room audio on a pair of Apple HomePod speakers. The feature is also absent from iOS 11.3.
iOS 11.2 features
Apple Pay Cash made its US debut on December 4
Users can send money to each other via iMessage
Apple Pay Cash, which lets you send money to friends through iMessages, made its debut in iOS 11.2 along with some bug fixes.
The company's peer-to-peer payments system started rolling out to iPhone and iPad users on December 4, though it's only in the US so far.
iOS 11.1 features
iOS 11.1 added over 100 new emoji
Warning: only users with iOS 11.1 can send and receive them
iOS 11.1 launched on Tuesday, October 31, directly ahead of Friday's iPhone X release date. It's a natural time to make sweeping changes to the mobile OS.

The big highlight are the new iOS 11.1 emoji. There a hundred new or changed emoji you can send (or receive) if you make the update. Note: they won't show up properly for anyone running iOS 10.0.3 or below.
iOS 11 features exclusive to iPhone X, iPhone 8
iOS 11 includes a couple of iPhone X-exclusive features that you won't find on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, or older handsets.
Apple is combining emoji with animations, and it takes advantage of the iPhone X's 3D face-scanning TrueDepth camera array. The result is Animoji, which tracks the muscles in your face to animate the emoji. All of your Messages texts will benefit (or suffer, depending on your view of expressive emoji).
Face ID and home-button-replacing gesture-swiping will also be an iPhone X-only feature. Face ID replaces Touch ID as a biometric sensor, and it's going to take time for people to learn how iOS 11 replaces the home button on the new flagship Apple phone.
Portrait Lighting, also available on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, is an option Apple has added to its existing background-blurring Portrait Mode photos. It uses the dual-lens depth-sensing camera and machine learning to simulate a range of lighting effects: Contour Light, Natural Light, Stage Light, Stage Light Mono, and Studio Light.
