Apple heeft versie 11.4 van iOS uitgebracht. Apple iOS is het besturingssysteem voor de iPhone, de iPod touch en de iPad. Versie 11 van iOS kan alleen op de iPhone 5s, iPad mini 2 en zesde generatie iPod touch of nieuwer worden geïnstalleerd. In versie 11 heeft onder meer het Control Center een nieuw uiterlijk gekregen en kan van h265 gebruikgemaakt worden voor het opslaan van foto's en video's. Het systeem vraagt om de 'Do Not Disturb While Driving' te activeren als het vermoedt dat het apparaat onderweg is. Verder zijn er nieuwe manieren om verschillende apps tegelijk te gebruiken en krijgen ontwikkelaars de beschikking over ARkit, om virtual of mixed reality apps te kunnen maken. In versie 11.4 is onder meer AirPlay 2 toegevoegd, wat het mogelijk maakt om naar verschillende apparaten tegelijkertijd te streamen.
