I get normal haptic "tap" when doing that on my X. No haptics when swiping up for home or swiping down for control center.
Just for Information:
The date bug just got "suppressed". If you connect your iOS device to a mac and take a look the log in the console, it will show you a warning of "Month 13 out of bounds".
MacOS and watchOS are also affected.

If memory serves me right, iOS 5 and earlier brought comparatively fewer new features compared to iOS 7 and later. I suppose that when you are doing less, you make fewer mistakes, and there are fewer bugs to show for it. Perhaps this sufficed back when smartphones were still so new and android had their fair share of problems to cancel out their sheer versatility, but in hindsight, the breakneck pace at which Apple is introducing newer features in iOS now just goes to show how far behind they were in many areas prior to ios 7 as well.
I mean, can you imagine getting share sheet extensions only in iOS 8?
I don’t think Apple can go back to the old days of gradually releasing software features. Smartphone competition is intense and that rubicon has been crossed. And if the price is the odd bug here and there, I will take it.
Yes, I am sure the hundreds of millions of iPhone owners willingly paid more for inferior products. /s
Do you even realise the sheer irony and contradiction in your statement? People are voting with their wallets and buying Apple products in ever increasing quantities, precisely because they are great products, even after discounting the flaws and bugs and shortcomings and all.
You want to know how many new products Apple released? Last year, I purchased an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, AirPods and Apple Watch. 4 products that weren’t available when Steve Jobs was still alive.
They work great for me. I am a primary school teacher (mostly handling 11-12 year old kids).
I use my 9.7" iPad Pro to teach in the classroom, which is mirrored to the smart board via an Apple TV (3rd gen for the peer to peer AirPlay capabilities). Apple Pencil is awesome for annotating on PDF documents.
At home, I just upgraded my 2011 27" iMac to a new 5k iMac. I deal with a fair amount of spreadsheets and documents, all the more this term as I have to plan relief duties, and a larger screen just makes viewing content that much easier. It's also the family computer, which is why I don't just get a monitor and docking solution.
Also have a 4th gen ATV for entertainment.
All tied together with Siri, iCloud and Apple Music.
Maybe they aren’t better products “for you”, but for me, I am using them happily every day.
Battery life and performance are very good. From my perception it is on par with iOS 10 (iPhone SE).
I'm still experiencing erratic touch issues on my iPhone 6s Plus. Input not recognized, have to constantly power on/off the screen for touch input to be available again. I have not replaced the screen (official Apple LCD) and at first I thought it was my tempered glass screen protector, but after taking it off and cleaning the screen, same issues. On iOS 11.2...This phone has become so unreliable now. -_-
I would try doing a fresh iOS install if you can and see if that fixes it, if you haven't done that already.
Forgot to mention, but yes, I did a reset in the system settings, and also did a full restore with the ipsw of 11.2. Same issues crop up.
They must have thought more people would prefer it to be temporary. This is an example of it being good to be vocal and complain... so that we can try to persuade then to change back. Personally, I don't understand why they didn't just put a toggle option in the settings so that users could pick which behavior they prefer. We should have far more settings options than we do.
I would honestly reach out to Apple Support then and see if they can come up with any fixes, or if you have AppleCare then maybe they'll replace it.
I get it also... but you only get it if you touch the bar at the bottom and swipe up. You can avoid it by just touching anywhere on the screen aside from one of the control center buttons... which also closes the control center... with no haptic feedback.
A setting like that would introduce inconsistency between devices, which is something that Apple seems to want to avoid as much as possible.
I didn't see any information about this feature anywhere but on iOS 11.2 when you click the 'Audio' button while you're on a call it allows you to select other devices running 11.2 as a target instead of just handset/speaker/bluetooth headsets so you can continue your call on another device.
This is pretty neat and useful to me personally - I'm assuming this will be available on HomePod too. I wonder if they'll add it to the next macOS release as well.

Eh, the phone is 2 years old at this point, so I doubt they will do anything. There's a lot of threads about it:

I'm sure you've heard this before, but maybe it's time to get a new phone if you keep having issues?
Maybe. Other than the touch screen being unreliable, 6s series is still great on iOS 11. It's unfortunate.
I'm also having this issue when using reachability or closing up the control center from bottom down. It really makes a click-like sound that I really hope it doesn't damage the Taptic Engine or another phone component.
Also, my dad's X just lose all kind of haptic feedback with the update. No matter if the System Haptics option is on, and no matter I have already restarted it a couple of times. Fortunately my dad doesn't miss the haptic feedback on his phone.
Guess this will be another software bug to fix for Apple.
Apple has now released Xcode 9.2 with iOS 11.2 support to the Mac App Store (for those developers unable to test their apps over the weekend
).Found another one. . . If the Camera App is on screen and you swipe up to the app switcher, you don't get the haptic feedback that you do when any other app is on screen. So weird!
