Apple Releases iOS 11.3.1 Update With Fix for Third-Party Display Repair Issue

The bug where you can't 3D-touch for a second or so after unlocking is still there. :(

I wonder if this isn't a bug, but rather a workaround to fix another bug. It seems like an obvious issue and it makes no sense, programming-wise, that it would happen accidentally.
 
I had noticed FaceID being somewhat less responsive with 11.3. Will be interested in whether 11.3.1 fixed it.

And I thought it's a problem of my 6s Plus.

Would be nice for Apple to forgo major feature releases for 6 to 12 months and continue its work on bug fixes.

Essentially that's what you'll be getting with IOS12, just a new number. There won't be massive changes, unfortunate for me.. I wanted interface changes, but those are on the back burner.. for the most part.

So it was a bug.... not an intentional block to third party repairs.. conspiracy theorists will be upset haha.

This was for the display. I thought all the previous discussions was regarding Touch ID which seems to be deliberately locked. Could be other parts still locked intentionally.

That would be a a dumb theory, since iOS 11 had a similar bug but with iPhone 6s, and it was fixed in 11.0.3. Why would they do it once, for a very specific model, then revert it, then do it again for a different model, then revert it again?

they are just trying, as always
 
After installing on my 10.5 iPad Pro everything was VERY slow, it took a while to get everything working OK again, but now the transitions are super smooth. I think there is also a new animation for Control Center.

I noticed this too! I think the system was doing some housekeeping for a few minutes after the update.

Control center animation now slides in from the sides instead; I think it looks a lot better. Who says Apple doesn't sometimes do major updates in security fix releases? :)

Hmm, I guess I'll wait a week or 2 before updating and see what responses come out from this update.

Settings-General-Accessibility-Display Accommodations-Auto-Brightness toggle.

One of the doctors I work with had the same complaint, but the toggle had been moved in an update for some odd reason. Took me a few minutes to find that thing again. If its not there then I guess it had to be something with the screen being replaced which would be really weird.

It isn't in the "Display Accommodations" menu. Google "auto-brightness toggle missing" and you'll see many results reporting the same.

This is so annoying! I end with the wiggling icons every time :mad:

When I took my X in to an Apple Store to have the screen replaced (due to a big scratch I just couldn't live with), they did the repair and had the same sensor not meet specs, so it's clearly (pun intended) not just 3rd party replacement parts causing this issue. The tech ended up just giving me a new X because the sensor is non-repairable, which saved me both $29 for the repair and one of the two repairs included with AppleCare+, so I'm not complaining.

Might be a dumb question, but those who have the iOS 11.4 Beta 2 installed, are the 11.3.1 fixes already applied?

Apple today released iOS 11.3.1, the thirteenth official update to the iOS 11 operating system.

This explains everything wrong with iOS 11.

Man oh man do I regret updating to the 11.0 version. Should have waited until 11.2 or later. Lesson learned for the future!

I wonder if this will fix the auto-brightness bug that propped up after replacing my iPhone 6's screen (wherein the auto-brightness toggle totally disappears from its place within Settings.) Will report back.

EDIT: No it did not.

Sorry but this sounds like hardware issue, I think they didn’t connect sensor properly. Just a guess.

And iOS 10 and 9 and 8 had a bunch of updates too...as do most other OS's and apps these days especially. Doesn't really say that much one way or another, aside from that that's more of what's fairly typical these days.

What about iOS 11.0.3 or iOS 9.2.1?
