How about the bug that causes my iphone 6 to go from 100% to completeley drained the second I watch a video through safari? IOS 11 is hands down the worst IOS that has come out of Apple. Almost makes me want to switch teams because of this bs
 
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.

Yeah you think? Oh by it’s important to rush it out the door, ignore the feedback fro beta testers, then slowly fix it over the coming months.
That way they get to gloat how may people have got fed up with the constant update now available messages and increase their shares, towards that trillion dollar mark. If you note a few of them including Cook sold some shares this year, netting them millions and millions I’ve no doubt, they have a self interest to drive that market cap as high as possible through any means..

I’ve said multiple times iOS 11 is by far and away the buggiest iOS version I’ve ever used, since iOS 5 or 4, whatever the 3GS shipped with anyway.
 
I didn't see any indication of the problem with notifications (messages and other notifications) not showing up on the iPhone being fixed yet. I don't know how many are affected by that problem but am ready for it to be fixed.
 
10.3.3 has the drive-by Bluetooth bug... and is also vulnerable to Krack.

Unless you don't do anything important on your phone, staying on an older version of iOS is really not tenable.
Blueborne? (bluetooth vulberability)
 
Early iOS upgrades were actually paid, if you were on iPod touch.
I almost added, "This isn't a history question." to my original quote just for someone bringing this little nugget to my attention.:) I sort of figured the "Are (present tense) there some pay..." instead of "Were (past tense) there some pay..." would have taken care of that nugget + with Juli talking about 11.1.1... <-- not a decimal:p:D
 
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.
Too bad not Android phone where if you get one update in year you lucky. I for one am tickled that Apple jumps on making corrections. What else you want to complain about?

Is that why iOS 10 was already on 10.1.1 in October last year?

The calculator bug persists....
It's fixed in 11.2 betas and looks like will be publicly out when 11.2 final is released.
 
I can’t stand these ridiculous bugs anymore. **** iOS 11. What a glitchy mess, and it killed my 7 Plus battery too. It seems as bad now as my previous two year old 6S (not Plus) was that it replaced. This is the first time since iOS 7 on the 8 GB 4 that I regret updating.

Seriously, I hate iOS 11.

I don’t remember it having this many updates in its first month of release? And it wasn’t as buggy either for me.
That's the thing, it's mostly down to how people remember (or not remember) being it like for them. If something didn't affect them then they don't remember things being out of the ordinary.

The reality is that it's all not that much different it's just that some other people are experiencing some issues with iOS 11, while a different set experienced them with iOS 10, or 9, or 8, etc.

Perception is being treated as reality, even though the two are not the same.
 
Welcome to the Cook era at Apple...patches nearly every week.
I'd prefer this to the past when you'd have to wait for weeks or months before some bugs were fixed. And for developers, there were beta releases that were effectively impossible to use for anything other than app development, because they were so buggy. Now, almost anyone can live with beta releases from day one.

I mean, you're obviously right that iOS hasn't had paid updates in a long time. Plus, it's a minor update that only includes bugfixes. So, sure, noting that it's free is kind of redundant.

"Fixes a bug with Hey Siri not working"? My Hey Siri isn't working, because I work with people who feel the need to say "Hey Siri, Redial" so I have it turned off, otherwise I have to scramble to cancel the call. How about fixing that problem by including proper voice recognition rather than just speech recognition?
 
So, anyone who actually types "I" (shift-i) would not be affected by this bug? .....(stated another way, the workaround is to type "I" ?)

I always thought "Hey Siri" actually did have voice recognition. When you set it up, they make you say it a few times, and I thought this was to tailor it to your voice.

I just did a quick test and other peoples' voices don't activate my Hey Siri.

Update worked just fine for me, iPhone X 256 GB Silver. Not that the color should make a difference. This is like umteenth update from 5S to 6 to 6s to 7 to X and all updates in between.

I will note that before I do any update I close everything, reboot the phone, do aicloud backup, then with nothing open do the update. Update over home WiFi, plugged into power. Also always have at least 50% free memory. Knock on wood, always seems to work for me. Don’t know what else to tell you. Sorry for your issues.
