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

Not an issue, that I would run into, but I'm glad apple is moving fast on some of these issues.

And, now to start a new round of updates on all my family's devices. *sigh*

Would be nice if iOS had family device update caching like Windows 10 does, where one local PC can serve the update to everyone else, single download.

I’ve notice that my battery is is not lasting after the update last night.

Give it a few days and charge cycles to see what it's really like.

Same issue on my 6S that this hasn't fixed at all.

iOS tends to dump caches and do some housekeeping during and after an update, so the phone will be a little slow until that is completed.

Check free space on the phone before and right after the update, you'll see quite a difference sometimes.

It’s running fine but it is not really ready to go at boot up for about 4-5 seconds. I’ve only seen this on my iPad Air with 11 but that has an A7 with a third of the RAM. This phone has 79 GB free that I keep to shoot video. It’s really the first time I’ve noticed any sort of slowdown on a year old phone. Apple has done better before. No problems with the 1 GB security update for 10.13.4.

Hi guys,

anyone else noticed the long boot time on (in my case iphone 7) start up after the update to 11.3.1 Takes 40 seconds now and phone is getting war :-(

Greetings from Germany

Yeah, it’s definitely not just me. Mine isn’t getting warm but the UI is sluggish when the phone boots up. I.e bringing up control center or looking at the widget screen. I hope this goes away in a few days or with the next firmware.

I think macOS server has it.

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

The conspiracy theorists will say that Apple is lying to avoid lawsuits.

Well, the location of Tim last night and today does tend to give them a small amount of inspiration. He is meeting with the worlds greatest liar.

Certainly already came up a few times in this thread alone.

More important than typing Fried at beginning of sentences, you need to get it out of your diet---

Just some guilty pleasure that is used as a little reward.

Is the display issue the only thing in this update?

New animoji, too. The "display thing" was just a side issue.

Anybody know if they fixed the bug on iPads running 11.2 or later where the badge alert for the Messages app doesn't display?

Got my mom the new iPad and she's been having this problem. It's happening to people on various iPads. We even swapped it out with a brand new iPad. It's definitely a software problem

Having this problem on my iPad 5th Gen on iOS 11.3 and now on 11.3.1. Also the sending message "whoop" noise is not working either.

Give up the iTunes update feature if you are using iTunes 12.6.4. Apple will not bring that feature back to an “unsupported” version of iTunes.

Guess what, I'm getting rid of iOS devices. Simple. If 12.6.4 is an unsupported version, why would they bother to release it from 12.6.3?
