Apple last night released new developer betas for all available operating systems. If you have a developer account, you can try iOS 11.1, watchOS 4.1, tvOS 11.1 or macOS 10.13.1. Over the next few hours, we will see what's new in yesterday's betas. However, the first pieces of information appeared yesterday evening and they are very interesting pictures. iOS beta number 11.1 showed us what the home screen will look like in the upcoming iPhone X.
In addition to several images, several instructional videos were also uploaded that demonstrate, for example, the use of Siri or access to the Control Center. All this information was possible thanks to the use of an application called Xcode 9.1, which can simulate the environment of the iPhone X and thus reveal a lot of interesting things.
You can see the image gallery below. As you can see, the Dock will also make its way to the iPhone, but unfortunately only visually. Functionally, it does not link to the solution in the iPad, and it will still be possible to pin only four applications here. There is now a little help on the lock screen on how to unlock the phone. On the upper right side is the Control Center icon, which will be opened by downloading from this location.
Below you can watch short videos taken by Twitter user Guilherme Rambo. This is a demonstration of multitasking, going to the home screen, activating Siri and entering the Control Center. We can also see for the first time the presence of a "Done" button when moving icons around the Home screen, as well as a one-handed control mode that will appear on the iPhone X, although the opposite has been rumored. In this way, everything looks very elegant and user-friendly in motion. In about a month and a half we will see how it will look in practice...

Looks like Apple is working on reachability support for the iPhone X. I don't know which button you use tho? pic.twitter.com/dLTH1E81jU

So I'm wondering how to click Done all the way up, when touch id was always all the way down ;-).
I am afraid that the Control Center cannot be pulled out from above with one hand, which is quite a minus?
