Apple Seeds Seventh Beta of iOS 11.2.5 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

It seems that at some point Apple had some fixes/changes they wanted to be in an upcoming bug fix release that they wanted to test with developer and public betas so they designated that release as iOS 11.2.5 leaving some room for potential bug fix releases that might need to be released prior to that (due to some security issues or something else important/sensitive that can't really wait).
Nah, iOS 11 is objectively worse than any previous release in terms of bugs, performance slowdowns, crashes and widespread issues. It's ridiculous, and what's even more ridiculous are the people who delude themselves into thinking it's fine and totally isn't worse than any previous releases because it doesn't directly affect you.

It's simply the best of a OK to good bunch. Eventually in later version most of the big issues are resolved.
IOS 9.3.5 is working fine on a very old Ipad 2.
I still got a late IOS 6 version on a still working Iphone 3GS.
Maybe Apple should recommend people that cannot stand any little slowdown to their phones to wait until at least later X.2 versions to upgrade. Those people know who they are (or least they should know).

People should be able to get a new OS and not deal with bad performance. Android 7.1 to 8.0 meant a performance improvement. 10.3 to 11 meant worse.

For plenty who found iOS 9 quite bad because of various issues they've had that wouldn't really hold up.

How can you tell if there are any battery issues on this beta just a couple of hours after it's release?
He can’t. Another post that helps no one.......
I’ve been running all of them all on my year old 6s and I have the impression that today’s beta is burning battery faster than yesterday’s. (Greetings from my Lightning Cable).
I'm not saying that iOS 11 isn't the worst version, imo it is, the bugs I've encountered are countless. But let's not kid ourselves it's not the first time and it won't be the last time. We often see that with x.3 and x.4 update the stability dramatically improves and that will happen again.
Going from a final iOS release to a new version iOS release always seems to follow the same pattern.
We don’t have to, but that is the way it seems to be since I started with iOS.
Why not post some facts instead of just using strong adjectives and generalizations like “widespread issues” and “performance slowdowns.”
Most opinions seem to be around throttling, but that doesn’t even impact most phones...or at least new ones and how many old ones NO ONE knows. Here, the haters just say it’s everyone.

I think PIP is on iPad or should be on iPad. I expect PIP, split-screen multitasking, and other features like that on iOS 12.
yup I've seen how well it works on a pixel 2. It's pretty awesome.
The split screen on an iphone X will be less awesome due to the notch and rounded corners.
I think it’s gotten worse over the years, though. We have processors that could run laptops and still can’t get a solid 60fps in iOS. I’m talking about my X.
So now it’s “your experience”? Because previously, you called it “objective”.
Nobody is denying that plenty of people have had a subpar experience with iOS 11. However, your previous post made gross generalizations with virtually no evidence to back it up.
Funny. I sometimes feel like Apple could sell a cure for cancer at $5 per person and people would still find a way to complain. Doesn’t mean this site doesn’t have some cheerleaders, but it also has a rather surprising amount of critics, I find.
And with iOS 11 in particular, I’m very disappointed in just how generalized, unspecific, hard to diagnose much less fix that criticism is. To some on here, iOS 11 is apparently just plain bad, with little further information to even pinpoint what they are talking about.
Well with the smaller resized windows on the iPhone x screen that notch would definitely be noticeable on one of the windows if you go full-screen mode unless it's implemented only in non-full screen mode.
Right... Funny how you seem to forget how crappy early X.0 Android versions were. Go and look for it.
Almost all early Android versions are riddled with issues. The reason you hear less about it is that it often takes a long long while, even months, before a substantial number of people have it. Adoption curves show this quite clearly.
In one day, IOS can be on more phone than a new Android version will be in 2 months.
That kind of exposure reveals obviously a lot more edge cases, especially on earlier devices.
Often new Android versions are on new phones initially certainly not 2 year old phones.
So, what on earth are you even comparing!
