Apple Releases iOS 11.2.1 Update With HomeKit Remote Sharing Fix

[TrenttonY]

Sorry, they do go together. I have stated in the past I’ve seen little things here and there on occasion. Maybe when I rotate my iPhone it takes longer to recognize. A piece of text is misaligned. There’s a slight stutter or pause when launching an App. These are not what I call “issues”, as I experience them in every single technology product I’ve ever used (my cars infotainment systems, TVs, cable boxes, digital cameras, iPhones, iPads, Macs, PCs - literally everything that has a processor and runs software has the occasional glitch).

1. With what you just said, I’ve come to believe that the 90’s Apple is returning. Accept a third grade product because that’s what the competitor offers as well.

2. Do you blink when you do an action that causes an animation to perform? Every 15 seconds of activity I see lag and glitches.

I remember when .1 or .2 releases meant major bug fixes and major feature bumps

We're up to 11.2.1 already and all you get is 7.5w wireless if you have an X, and Apple Pay cash to pay buds instead of Venmo or cash or whatever,

If neither are of interest, you get ZIP

so two ways to look at it

1) apple is on top of support and 'caring' with so many updates

2) with almost no new features and the frequency of updates, why are they fixing so many bugs? Is it because, there are many?

--

Why is apple doing an audit on software development after high Sierra embarrassment, too?

Again, Is it just cause they 'care'? Out of kindness of their hearts? Or has it become problematic to where they need to fix where things are headed in general since some
Have started noticing

Sorry Apple, but during the HomePod delay I bought a few Google Home Minis. My smart home is no longer in your hands.

And you’ll soon realize they are garbage.

The comment you made talked about Microsoft, that is the comment that I replied to and quoted, thus the context of that particular exchange would be Microsoft.

I was being sarcastic

Yeah, like the good old days of like iOS 6.1 that brought us Siri integration with Fandango, or iOS 5.1 that brought us Japanese support for Siri. The good old days of x.y releases that brought us so many major features and fixes.

Not really sure where sarcasm fits in there...but, yeah, sure.

All under Tim's reign, by pure coincidence

4.1 comes to mind, a major .1 release on major new exciting groundbreaking hardware.. like the X but without that boost of finesse on the software front

HDR alone was a massive deal

I was so bonkers for 4.1 I did some crazy preserving baseband leap (relied on for unlock overseas when I had the iphone4 In 2010) and re-JB to make it happen from 4.0

If it updated basbeand I'd be out a smart phone for the semester in terms of using as a phone

Don't regret it for bug fixes performance boost or new features. But it was nerve wrecking circumstantially

If you consider HDR a massive deal, then Apple Pay Cash is pretty big too. The point is that there have been plenty of lackluster x.y updates throughout the history of iOS, and it's not somehow meaningfully different these days.

So....is this going to fix the fact that iOS 11 has disabled GPS functionality on so many iPhone 6s?

 

[chucker23n1]

Bull. You were uninformed and thought that Microsoft's Patch Tuesday occurs weekly, and now you're backpedaling.

 

[iamMacPerson]

Anyone not getting the update? iPhone 7 Plus here and no update yet.

lol I'm tapping out

A phone people buy to rely on for its excellent camera and some Buy every time Over competition exclusively for that, being compared to The being in the same league of excitement of P2P shoehorned payments

You win today

With the amount of updates this year I feel we will hit iOS 11.5 by WWDC.

Naw, dog. We gon hit 12 by then. 13 at WWDC like how they skipped iPhone 9.

I smell a conspiracy here

I've never once read about this in the plethora of threads about iOS 11 on MacRumors, so, maybe it's not quite that widespread? Have you reported it?

There are many iPhone 6s phones that can't use GPS in iOS 11?

 

[calzon65]

Wow, eight updates since IOS 11 release, so much for "it just works"

Looking forward to IOS 11.3.3 when they *might* have most of the bugs resolved

 

[puckhead193]

just when i finally update to 11.2

 

[yanki01]

I still haven't updated to 11.2.

Eight updates in under three month...wonder where we will be next September.

11.9.9.9.9.9.9.99

 

[mattynat]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! my 12.9" iPad Pro (2017) installed faster than my iPhone X. Apple must be throttling my iPhone X. I'm furious!!! argggggg!!!!

 

[mujtaba.mir]

Where are the home button delay lads?

 

[Vashetti]

Still nothing with beta profile installed.

 

[JM]

Where are the home button delay lads?

Um. Delayed.

Buh-dum-ching

[Radon87000]

Where are the home button delay lads?

I am here.

 

[dontworry]

So, has anyone installed this yet? or is everybody just going to bitch about updates?
