I find that hard to believe. If GPS was killed for (a large number) of iPhone 6 users, it sure seems like that issue would of blown up by now or even made news media reports. Did Apple Support offer any help?

Apple Releases iOS 11.2.1 Update With HomeKit Remote Sharing Fix

I miss the new OSX releases every 1.5-2 years. This yearly update cycle is a little aggressive and pointless.
I rest my case. Exactly why so many comments are not from people actually experiencing anything let alone do they possibly not even own a device with issues.
I’m on a X with 11.2. Me - no obvious issues.
How about just fixing HomeKit.. since 11.0 its become so buggy.. I have automation with groups of lights and over the last few weeks, each night, a random light wont shut off or turn on. There is no rhyme or reason to the pattern. And when I go into the app for the device (ihome, leviton, koogeek) they all work fine, but HomeKit refuses to see the device.. and then like magic a few hours later, that device works properly again. Very annoying. This all worked (almost) flawlessly in iOS 10...
Just going by what various people who are often critical of many iOS related things have been saying after the release of iOS 11 (that suddenly iOS 10 is an example of greatness, while iOS 11 is horrible--which is a common thing when people compare the last updates of a major version to early versions of a new major version).

Rest your case?
Possibly unrelated but I wish Apple would update stock apps separately from the OS. Like the calculator bug could have been addressed really quickly without waiting for 11.2, and perhaps this HomeKit issue could have been fix promptly by just updating the Home app. Google Maps just updated today with new look and yet Apple maps improvements get sidelined until an iOS update can push them out. Cmon Apple.
What an utter joke, how many releases is this in what 2 months? This is worst then Microsoft ever has been! And this remember is an OS made for hardware ENTIRELY MADE AND CONTROLLED BY APPLE!
Anyone seeing Night Shift under Settings, Display & Brightness now missing Sunset to Sunrise as an option? I am missing it now with 11.2.1 on 8 Plus.
it is there, need to click on the times. it will then show up...
[doublepost=1513198397][/doublepost]seriously, am I the only one who updated the X with this new update and have the swipe up/right behavior now being different? I wonder if I'm dreaming this or not...
Same here! Hoping for beta tomorrow!!Not showing up for me (with beta profile installed) which normally means there’s a beta due
I did and it's still not showing. I had just did a Reset All Settings after the update and now it's missing. I will do another Reset All Settings and see if that fixes it and if not I will open yet another bug report. iOS 11 has been riddled with both large and small issues.
I removed the Beta profile and restarted on all of my devices to see the 11.2.1 update. Kinda silly. Their software updating mechanism has gotten extremely complex with all of the deltas they are supporting now.
the new Apple update rule is to wait 24-48hrs after an update release. Long enough for the tech blogs to post all the issues that the update created.
Said it last month and I’ll say it again: after I get the final update on iOS 11, that’s it. I will not upgrade to iOS 12 until nearly 12 months later. Apple’s approach to software sucks now and I’ve lost faith in them.
I'm getting dizzy.
I guess the difference is the media attention these days. Apple used to release small updates in the pre-X days to no fan fare, but these days, every small update gets a headline.

Sorry, after Reset All Settings, you have to re-enable Location Services which is where Sunrise to Sunset then shows in Night Shift. Sorry for the false alarm.
Really hope this fixes some issues I've been having with HomeKit scenes starting yesterday. I have an "Arriving Home" scene that no longer works (just says, "Welcome home" or something useless like that when I use Siri to activate it from my iPhone X). And on my Watch S3, it just says "The scene isn't set up."
Seriously, Apple?
