Apple Releases iOS 11.0.3 Update With Haptic Feedback and Unresponsive Display Fixes

[ChrisCW11]

After upgrading to iOS 11, I am waiting for 11.1 before applying any new "fix".

Seriously, WTF, if Apple should decide to invest some of their billions in profit they should really figure out how to do Q/A significantly better then they are, considering they have a very limited set of hardware and configurations to test on.

Also it is so obvious Apple's beta program is a joke as its aimed at sycophants that just want the latest OS version installed on their newest version of the device they just bought and have no real intention of providing quality feedback or bothering to install on older devices. All a rush to get their "first" before their friends and to busy showing off some new feature rather then figuring out if the OS build quality is any damn good.

Also if the focus on the beta program is to force developers to invest most of their time to figure out if their apps will work on the new OS, opposed to actual quality evaluation of the OS, then that is also a huge fail.

Apple can't rely on customer feedback, that hat PROVEN unreliable EVERY iOS release since they have offered general iOS beta, and Apple cannot continue to "dabble" in Q/A as a hobby project.

I expect more from a company that has the audacity to charge $1000 for a phone and then cheap out on the software that runs on it and requires 15 updates before it gets perfect, and then replaces it with another ****** bug prone major OS release a year later.

I wish you could download and update with one click. I always forget to go back and hit the install now button. This is especially annoying now these updates are appearing weekly.

I like how the update contains an admonition to those with the temerity to install non-Apple certified displays. That showed them.

 

[smorrissey]

Can someone tell me if this runs smoothly and good battery on a 6s. I'm still on iOS 9.3.5 and wondering if I should update now.

You should have upgraded to ios 10.3.3 when was available.
I'm like you i stayed on ios 9.3.5 all this year, i just upgraded to ios 10.3.3 last August.

I wouldn't upgrade to ios 11 yet.

 

[otternonsense]

Mm. Saying the phones haven't changed much is just joining in on the circle-jerk that points a finger at Apple for making consistently solid phones that don't have radical changes that everyone is so hungry for.

Saying the phones haven't changed much is just calling a spade a spade.

Nothing on the “caller id” isseu?

 

[newyorksole]

That has never worked properly for everyone. Expect it to be fixed within a decade, or if Apple phases out Touch ID.

Does anyone have an issue with Rest Finger to Open for Touch ID? When enabled, it doesn't work every time for me on my iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 11.0.3.

Have had zero issues with this in my 8 Plus. Bought it on launch day and have done every update. As long as you enabled it in Accessibility settings it should work.

Sucks that some of you have issues with it.

 

[calzon65]

Yep ! Doing that since iOS8

This is the fist time in 8 years of using the iPhone that I have not rushed out an upgraded to the latest IOS version 24 hours after release. I'm running 10.3.3 it works for me, integration is perfect with my car and I don't want to take the chance of breaking anything. It's hard to fight the temptation, but I'm damn glad I waited.

On my iPhone and iPad, mail is confused. On my Mac, the junk mail settings move incoming messages automatically from the inbox to the junk mail folder. But the mail on the iPhone and iPad still believe that the messages are in the inbox. On the Mac, I deleted everything from the junk folder and archived everything in the inbox folder leaving both empty but the mail on both the iPhone and iPad still see hundreds of unread messages in the inbox. The server in this case is an imap4 server.

I noticed a regression to pre iOS 10 yesterday when listening to Apple Music and opening the camera (direct to stills, not video) and it paused music. Seriously Apple, get it together or this is my last iPhone. Not worth the price these days for shoddy experience.

Isn't that only when you shoot video and not still photos?

When I installed the iOS 11 beta I was not too concerned about battery life – it was expectedly bad, but it was beta and it's normal for beta software because there's debugging overhead running etc.

I expected battery life would, as usual, reverse back to normal when installing the GM. However, I was SHOCKED when I installed the finalized iOS 11 version that battery life had not been fixed. What happened?

I turned off Location Services because I found out it being the culprit but it is unacceptable nonetheless. Either it is one of Apple's System Services or Apple has to tell developers to program more efficiently and battery-friendly because I also suspect some third party apps of causing this battery problem. What do you think?

 

[danakin]

Apologies if this has already been said.
I would like an update that makes the Bluetooth and WiFi toggles work like they did in iOS 10. By that I mean, completely turn off and not "run" in the background.
If Apple wants to continue babying its Luddite users that's fine but at least allow those of us who are, shall I say more tech-savvy, the option of setting this as a default in Settings.

 

[thisisnotmyname]

I updated and now my third party cable that allowed me to charge the phone and listen with headphones at the same time doesn't work... this is continued deliberate attacks from Apple to make them not work

this is a completely baseless and unfounded fear. I feel it's ridiculous to ascribe that sort of malice to the situation with your cable. As with most conspiracy theories, it doesn't exist in reality.

i've had no problems with that, works every time,
sometimes is prompts ur passcode once in a while because of iOS Security reasons, maybe you mean this?

 

[bodonnell202]

Its been 7 minutes. No way anyone would know. I had zero battery problems with 11.0.2 on my 8Plus and Air 2.

We'll see... I had no battery issues with iOS 11 GM, big issues with iOS 11.0.1 (although I think that was mostly due to apps that hadn't been updated for iOS 11 which seemed to be sucking the battery dry, once they were updated for official iOS 11 support the problem went away... and iOS 11.0.2 was much better. Here's hoping that iOS 11.0.3 will get things back to normal.

 

[edlex]

So is it safe?

 

[ZZ9pluralZalpha]

It was just an example, set in the same scale as the number used by OP.

The point is there is minimal correlation, if any at all, between update package size and quantity/quality of changes.

iOS uses delta updates OTA: updates do not generally contain an entire copy of a changed file, but rather a patch file that describes the changes needed. For example, a 100 MB file with a single small alteration would need only a < few kB file containing the change, its location, and a few other things like a checksum to double-check the newly changed file against. (Apparently it’s worked this way since iOS 7.1, although I couldn’t find a reliable reference for this—someone correct me if they know.) Thus, update size would loosely correlate to the quantity of changes.

Does anyone have a problem with apps taking a huge time to load, shows up blank to start with and takes literally 3-5 seconds to appear? I have done a clean install of iOS11 and backed up from my PC. Let it index overnight for 3 days at least.

 

[TroyBoy30]

maybe they will stop doing updates at all so you guys can complain about that

 

[pedzsan]

I had a fun time updating my iPad. My password was some letters, then some numbers, then a few special characters. The special characters were in particular easy to hit places on the iPad keyboard... so I didn't really know what the characters were.

I updated and the keyboard layout changed and I could not figure out the password so I had to reset and reload the whole iPad. I tried searching for the old iPad keyboard layout so I could figure out the keys but even when I did that, the new keyboard layout is so confusing that I have no idea where precisely the special characters are. e.g. where is the ascii '-' 0x2d at?

Yea, its cute that I can hit all the various unicode dash and hyphen characters will various jaw and elbow positions but what if I want a precise ascii character because of something idiotic like using them in a program or a password? Its not clear at all how to get plan ASCII characters instead of multibyte unicode characters that look very similar.

Its fine to give folks a choice but to change the keyboard used during log in across an update is rather short sighted.

It also use to be a cute shortcut that I could hold down the period and the options for .com, .org, .net, etc would pop up. No more!!! Now I get 93,245 options of different unicode characters that look sorta kinda similar to a period.

I wish they'd remove the huge hideous app headlines (i.e. "Messages" in Messages and "All Inboxes" in Mail), as well as revert the control center Wifi toggle back to how it used to function

Nah, those huge banners are Apple's ploy to get people to move away from smaller iPhones.
[doublepost=1507747042][/doublepost]

looking at past releases, we'll have 11.1 in 1-2 weeks. i guess this is the last small update before that.

I am guessing 11.1 will land with iPhone X, or about a week before it's launched.

I updated and now my third party cable that allowed me to charge the phone and listen with headphones at the same time doesn't work... this is continued deliberate attacks from Apple to make them not work

TMZ has just reported that Apple was recently made aware that you (and some others) have been using the brand x cable. As soon as Apple found out, they made sure to specifically target you with this iOS 11 bug fix update. TMZ tried to get a comment on the matter from Apple's 'Common Sense and Scandals Department', but were deferred to the tin foil division of Reynolds Corporation.

 

[puckhead193]

i just updated to 11.0.2 last night

 

[sbailey4]

Looking forward to them to continue to update,, has seemed buggy has heck on my 6S+ ... think it's kinda funny they call out unresponsiveness on 6S as due to non genuine parts... mine has never been touched and was bought new and has those issues

"Addresses an issue where touch input was unresponsive on some iPhone 6s displays because they were not serviced with genuine Apple parts"

Is this the real reason? My 6s (which sometimes experiences this issue) was bought new from an Apple store and has never been serviced.

Yeah its a real thing. Google it. Apparently that's why they reversed the decision to sign iOS 10.3.3 for 6s users after it was pulled.

Makes u wonder how effective having public beta testers really is? Do they even test/report or just put on betas to say to friends “look at me!”

Ever stop to think that perhaps its Apple not acting on those those reports? I know there were TONS of folks reporting issues that were never addressed by Apple so maybe put the blame where it belongs

Kinda wish they will roll all these updates out at the same time. I wouldn't care so much if the update didn't render the device useless while it was in progress. But, depending on the device, it can take quite a while to complete. I know some updates need a restart (like on macOS), but on iOS every update requires a restart.

You can schedule the install for say when you are sleeping. That option has been around for a while.

As stated earlier, perhaps put the blame where it belongs, on Apple for not addressing the issues that ARE reported by lots of users over and over and over. To say its the beta testers fault is utter BS. Sorry

Apologies if this has already been said.

The "tech-savvy" users should know how to go into settings and turn those setting "completely off" already. Or 3D touch settings app on applicable devices to do so. Just sayin

 

[jonnysods]

That's already back in iOS 11.1(beta)

That's something I guess.

 

[Howl's Castle]

Still 3D touch lag...
