Maybe that's because Apple didn't actually build their own headquarters. It's not as if Tim Cook is out there literally laying bricks or anything.

Erm..if I take my phone apart and fit a new battery myself I’m pretty 100% sure that’s voiding your warranty....
To update your iPhone to iOS 11.3, Apple requires for no reason that you run OS X 10.10.5 or later and iTunes 12.7.3.
Thanks, Apple.
I will be keeping an eye out too, thanks for the reply.I checked a previous conversation where they were out of order and they are still out of order. However, so far any new messages added to the same thread seem to be ok.
What does AirPlay 2 have to do with the cloud?
It only worked for me in beta 2. Never again anymore. It looks like Apple doesn't want it to work with third party batteries.
Nothing. Late night error. My only wish for this release was iCloud Messages. Sad.
Why do I have to confirm deletion of text conversations now. Wth
So if you still have iTunes 12.6.3 you can still manually update your iPhone via a manual install of the 11.3 ispw. You can find the 11.3 ispw at https://www.unlockboot.com/download-ios-11-3-ipsw/ and then follow the manual install instructions at http://osxdaily.com/2017/09/24/install-ios-11-with-ipsw-firmware/. If you don't want to install via iTunes you can do an OTA install and still sync via 12.6.3. The initial message from Apple to upgrade iTunes seems to be Apple trying to get those of us who still need App store support in iTunes to upgrade.

so, is iOS11 stable by now or people still supporting on staying on iOS10?
I am tired of Apple requesting me to upgrade
There will always be people advocating one or the other. Only you can decide for yourself.
I tried doing this. Once I manually updated an iPad, it would no longer sync in iTunes 12.6.3. It continuously said backup failed. I guess they changed the backup file format or its not compatible with 12.6.3 processes. So you can update without iTunes being upgraded, but if you do it doesn't look like it will sync again after.
No problem, I just find the whole battery scandle a bit of a sore point. I mean my phones performance has been essentially severely limited for several months for no reason, by Apple.
My encrypted computer based iTunes 12.6.3 backups are still working. I updated to 11.3 OTA yesterday instead of using the manual method listed here.
I'll test iTunes with my encrypted backups (and car USB audio) later today. I use Windows 10 and I consider backups to be very fragile. I no longer try to troubleshoot when they fail and simply delete them and create a new one. Works every time. I spent a considerable amount of time on it and folks shouldn't ignore the generic advice given when a backup fails, but none of the basics ever worked for me (different port, different cable, reboot phone, reboot computer, etc.).
This is a VERY important feature for me, given that bluetooth audio has been very unreliable for me, and USB has been absolutely perfect
Please report this to apple feedback (for all of us who need this):
https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I can't report this since I'm going to hold off upgrading given your experience.
HAS ANYONE ELSE TRIED USB AUDIO ON 11.3? Please report USB audio experiences positive or negative

There's a track in Apple Music titled "A a a a a Very Good Song (Silent Track)" by Samir Mezrahi. It is 9:58 of silence, and it sorts alphabetically to the top, so when you plug your phone into your car, you get silence. Of course, you have to fix it before 10 minutes elapse, or you get surprise music.Off topic: Sadly, music continues to auto-play. We've only had the Kia Soul for about a month and the auto-play wakes up the radio, even when the radio is turned off.
Or you pay 29 dollars and you get it done by Apple, you don't need Apple store you only need an Apple service provider.
*Question*
IOS 11.3 bug? Is anyone else experiencing Apple Maps bug where the traffic view toggles off on its own whenever the app is closed. I have to constantly toggle it back on.
Still works on an iPhone 7+ / 2015 Kia Soul. It's going to be a radio by radio issue.

You can also visit any indie repair shop. I had dropped my old iPhone 6, which I later gave to my mom when I bought the 7 Plus, causing the screen to separate from the enclosure. I snapped it back in but was worried about replacing the battery myself and breaking the phone. A local indie shop did the job for the same $29 in 15 minutes and the phone is running perfectly on 10.3.3. It just got another two years of life. My mom doesn’t need all the latest iOS 11 features nor the power of an A10 or A11. For her needs the A8 still does the job really well.
Indie = non original parts and warranty void, Apple won't even touch the phone if it has been repaired by third party, not even if you are willing to pay, and I'm sure you don't tell that story when you sell your device.
at 29 dollars there is not excuse to not done it properly.
