anyone familiar with this weird glitch that ONLY when you install the new firmware the volume control buttons on the right side of the iPad dont work til you reboot the iPad..then the volume works fine again..its happened twice, once with this new firmware and again previously with the 11.0.2 firmware..just happens once its just so weird
I’m pleased with the speed now. It seems snappier to me, occasionally there is a slight hesitation when closing an app, but not enough to bother me.
It’s been off the charger for 4 hrs and 40 minutes and at 83% battery. When I took it off the charger I had 99% battery.
There hasn’t been any apps crashing. So far so good!
Ummmm... no. The buttons were put there because they were useful enough to have an easy to access shortcut for. Now to get the same functionality as before, you have to go 3-4 levels deep to get that same functionality. That's regression, not progress.
No means no, and off should mean off. A settings button to change the "off" functionality to "disconnect" should have been added if they wanted to go down this route.
They should at least introduce a double tap or a long press for an effective turn-off within CC. It's not TOO perplexing a gesture, it's almost super intuitive and it'll work like magic.
You can downgrade to iOS 10.3.3 via DFU Mode in iTunes

Apple stopped signing 10.3.3 a few days ago so no you can't.
I updated last night in the UK over the air on my iphone 7 and ipad pro 10.5. It was the worst choice ever to do it. My wifi stopped working on both devices and also the 4g stopped working on my iphone 7.
I put both devices in DFU mode and loaded the 11.0.2 firmware back on and everything is working again.

Well I seem to have sorted out my battery issues. It appears that although Personal hotspot using my phone signal was off, it was still showing up as on on my Mac and I could connect to it. I turned it on then off again on the phone and also turned mobile data on and off a few times in control centre. It has now disappeared from the wi-fi menu on my Mac and battery life has improved no end. In fact everything has sped up as well. I've lost 1% in 2 hours on standby. before it would go down by at least 10%

Cant comment on SE. But the 6 and 6+ disease is rampant, despite Apple's denial. Have about 5 friends that I checked their 6 series phones and they have it.
I can confirm that 11.0.3 has fixed my issues with Force Touch on my 6S. Before, when I hard-pressed an app on the home screen, it would only bring up the context menu about 30% of the time. The rest of the time it would just get stuck without activating the context menu. It was obviously a software issue, because force-touch worked fine in CC. Also, this was on a genuine screen - never been replaced, never been opened. So a big LOL to "non-genuine Apple parts".
I still find it pretty funny that the amount of pressure required, and the subsequent haptic "click", is different on the home screen and CC (CC requires less force, and has a lighter click). These should be exactly the same. This kind of inconsistency is not what I expect from Apple.
Battery seems to be about the same as 10.x.x (a bad joke where I'm the punchline). 4 hours of usage (according to battery settings) with the brightness at 0% in the dark, and 50% in sunlight.

Exactly. Or even just ad a third option to the sequence of presses? If you go into settings and deactivate WiFi properly, then return to the Control Centre the Greyed out WiFi icon now has a diagonal bar through it. The Control Centre already has three options for the icon - Green (Active), Grey (Inactive), Grey crossed out (Deactivated). Why not just make this three subsequent options? When it's on, press once to go Inactive (Grey). Press a second time to disable Wifi (Grey with bat), press a third to reactivate (Green). Three quick presses here in the same place with no loading delays, is a lot easier than Settings, Wifi, Toggle off Wifi, with the wait for each new screen to load. It's unfortunately another example of Apple deciding how customers must use their phone, rather than letting customers decide for themselves.
Let’s break this down for you:
I anticipate what Apple says.
I expect them to design a pro phone that lasts a complete business day on the go.
Sophisticated users don’t care about one millimeter thinner when we need to cart a charging kit and roam around for outlets well before night.
My work day lasts longer than 8-10 hours; add non-work for another 6.
As a shareholder, I’m glad you and others have lower standards. As a user, I don’t.
Ok did the update on a 6Plus 64GB, now when vertical & horizontal do not function properly. iPhone is in MINT condition and ever since updating it has been getting worse. I did the update for ApplePlay. Anyone else experiencing this and if so how did you fix it if its even fixable.
Thanks
Thanks
Had the same issue on 11.0.2. After restarting my 6 and closing all apps problem was solved. Guess it was for the first time when I rebooted iPhone to try to fix something
I won’t necessarily equate having different priorities than you with lower standards. It just means that we value different things, and to many people, a thinner and lighter device is a better device.
Then don't upgrade cause the new phones are thicker and heavier. 50g more, back breaking.
I represent the average business person who travels, a core demographic for pro phones. We will all take another 50g and 1mm for hours of battery life.
There's only one plus phone designed yearly, so obsessing with thin while keeping giant bezels is a lower standard and a foolish trade-off.
If you find that a phone doesn’t last you through the day, you have the option of using a power bank to recharge it as and when necessary.
If I find the iPhone is too thick and heavy, I can’t decide to just leave half the battery behind if I suddenly decide I don’t need so much battery life.
Clearly, neither extreme is desirable, but a flagship phone does need to remain physically desirable and I think Apple made the right call as with regards to battery life vs portability.
Agreed, iOS 11.0.3 is an unmitigated disaster. Battery life in half, SMS keyboard missing keys, voicemail doesn't work, e-mail listing old emails 6 months old, unreadable typefaces, intrusive banners, the list goes on. Wonder when they'll get sued for $ 100 Billion+ USD for ruining 100's of millions of iPhones ? What about the false advertising, surely they forgot to change the battery life specs. I'm done, moving to Samsung !
I haven't seen any of these issues. Maybe try doing a clean Restore.
I asked this question earlier but never got a response..I have the iPad Pro 10.5 inch, I ONLY do clean restores when putting in new firmware, the last two firmware upgrades whenever its done installing the volume control buttons on the side of the iPad do not work..but when I turn off the iPad completely and turn it back on the volume works perfectly like nothing happened..is this just a glitch in the IOS firmware that causes this to happen its a weird one
