Apple Releases iOS 11.1.1 Update With Fix for 'A[?]' Autocorrect Bug

[AllergyDoc]

My wife just asked me about this this morning. It happened to her twice yesterday, once in a FB post and once in an email she was replying to. Whenever anything goes wrong with her phone, yes tells me about it in an accusatory tone. Like it's my fault.

She'll be thrilled.

I just don't recall previous iOS major releases having this many bug releases following the initial drop. 11, 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3, 11.1, now 11.1.1 and 11.2 coming in a few weeks. Seems just a wee bit excessive. Perhaps SW Quality just wasn't ready for the major iOS 11 release.

In my memory, iOS 8 was easily the worst in terms of quality control. iOS 8.0.1 killed Touch ID and cellular altogether. And it is infamous for causing very high app crash rate, as well as having the worst battery life, WiFi, and Bluetooth issues.

But yes, iOS 11 has been pretty sloppy.

Wow. SIX releases in just over a month. This obviously silences the last remaining few who were still arguing there was nothing wrong with the .0 public release. And what a pain for the casual user (not us) to constantly get bugged by updates, I know most of my non-tech geek friends hate it. They should have released a finished product to start with.

Agreed, and as long as the sheeple keep updating to the latest and greatest on day one, instead of holding back, nothing will change. It will only get worse. The bleeding edge updaters are the beta testers. Doing it for free... for the richest company in the world. And a company who's standards are slipping, and slipping badly. iOS10.3.3 here, patiently waiting for a more stable product before jumping on board.

It gets worse with kids. The entire family will blame you if something goes wrong with their tech.

but my wife not only had it on her phone, she says it was affecting messages on her MacBook 12 too...? and email? is this possible?

What's about CALCULATOR disaster, Mr. Federighi?!
No view for important BUGs to be repaired first

Perhaps Apple should consider offering "Long Term Support" iOS and macOS versions, just like certain distributions of Linux and Firefox.

Seems like the autocorrect bug is somewhat more prevalent and prominent in comparison (and the calculator animation issue has been addressed in 11.2 betas already).

 

[fairuz]

Aw yeah. Still running iOS 10.

 

[Mabus51]

Didn't see it on mine either. Then I thought, maybe it's like with the 11.0.1 update where I had to power off then on to see it. Yup. That did it. 11.1.1 showed up immediately.

I didn't see it at first. I guess I didn't give Apple enough time. It's showing up now, no reboot needed.

I lolled when I saw the release notes about Hey Siri.. literally spoke to Apple last night about it.. escalated to engineering team.

Honestly I think iOS quality has been slipping since they made testing the OS more open to the public.
Seems like more just want to have the latest OS than actually testing. Some of these bugs should have been caught. IMO
May not be true but that's sure what it seems like.

A new update. Gee, has it been a week already?

If "sheeple" didn't update to the latest, bugs wouldn't get discovered, reported, and fixed so quickly. Wasn't this bug discovered by iPhone X users?

 

[palmerc2]

I notice it on MacOS but not iOS.

 

[ineedamac]

I'll skip this update. Nothing major.

 

[DaveOP]

Another update. Gee, has it been a week already?

Yeah, how dare they continue to fix issues so quickly, rather than waiting months and letting people suffer in the mean time! THE NERVE!

 

[iPadCary]

At least hopefully that odd autocorrect issue will be done with.

Or you could just turn AUTOCORRECT off.

 

[C DM]

Another update. Gee, has it been a week already?

Yeah, they really should have waited a few weeks before addressing issues.

Or you could just turn AUTOCORRECT off.

You can also just turn the phone off too with that type of logic.

If you ask me, only thing decent to come out of iOS 11 so far are the iPad tweaks.

for me it is the iPad tweaks, faster safari scrolling and less input blocking

 

[DevinNj]

Wow, Apple releases an update to correct issues and give people a better user experience and people complain. Unbelievable.

 

[gtg465x]

Took forever for my X to get past "Preparing update". Like 10 minutes. Crazy for a small 50 MB update.

No, it doesn't. The amount of releases says nothing about quality — would 11.0 have been a better release if 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3, 11.1 and 11.1.1 had all been rolled into a single 11.1 release that had come out today, with no updates in the meantime? Or would it have been a better release if, in the other extreme, even more smaller (but timelier!) updates had been rolled out? No. It would have been different, not better.

They should have released a finished product to start with.

This isn't how the world works. If you want that, good luck waiting for iOS 1.0, cause there's still bugs in that a decade later.

Did you make her update her phone from 10.3.3 perfection? I'd yell at you too.

As a "kid" relatively speaking, everyone across 3 generations blames me
