Software development quality was going down since the Agile development methodology is on an upward trend. They just keep want to pushing things (****) to production, even there has no enough time to think about the total solution / doing better coding and performing well testing. i don't know why this methodology become famous but seems it ruling the development world.

Panic in the streets like my iPhone is going to melt. You mocked everyone who cared about this and oh look:
Apple releases 11.2 on a Saturday.
=/
Thank God for this bug. Now I know I never have to spend another dime on Apple products. Android, here I come.
p.s. Could we please clone Steve Jobs and bring him back to Apple?

Was that happening every time? Do we know that kind of thing hasn't been happening after Steve?
Beta 6 was basically the intended final release from all indications. So it's not really that it wasn't fully baked or is unfinished, more just that it was released earlier than planned at an unusual time to deal with a production issue.
Steve warned us by handpicking Tim?

You do know that issues of all kinds happened under Steve as well, right?

Android might not have these specific problems, but it has had and has other problems, just like most software has had and has.
For the record, things aren't much better on the other side. You have Google spying on you, far less frequent updates, and hardware doesn't stay supported as long.
I'm annoyed at Apple too, but they're still better than the alternative.
There's always a way to screw up date and times, but this one does seem to be curious.
Reminds me of a Dilbert joke:
Boss: Any questions? There are no stupid questions.
Wally: If you cross the international date line backwards on your birthday, are you a year older yet?
Boss: Great there are stupid questions. And I don't know the answer.
Just as many simply post digs at this or that without anything constructive to them.
Well, the wife’s iphone and iPad are still on 11.1.2 and all is well here. I stayed up well past midnight and my iPhone X was fine.
So yes, needless panic.
My wife’s iPod Touch 5 crashed today and had to be restored from iTunes.
She has all sorts of notifications set.
On iOS 9.3.5!

A date-related bug in iOS 11.1.2 appears to be causing iPhones and iPads to continually crash or respring when time-based local notifications are received after 12:15 a.m. on December 2, according to reports on Twitter and reddit.
The problem seems to be tied to local notifications received from apps that offer daily or repeat reminders. For example, meditation app Headspace, one of the affected apps, sends daily reminders to users to encourage them to take some time to meditate. Any app using local (as in not pushed from a remote server) notifications that repeat will cause a crash.
On reddit, users have had some success fixing the issue by disabling notifications and turning off background app refresh, while Apple's support staff appears to be recommending a manual date change to a time before the problem occurred as a temporarily solution. Reinstalling apps and restarting does not fix the issue. The problem looks like it's limited to devices running iOS 11.1.2 -- devices on the current iOS 11.2 beta aren't affected.
Apple Stores in Australia, where it is late afternoon on December 2, are reportedly being inundated with support requests from customers who are experiencing the issue.
Apple will undoubtedly fix this problem quickly through an iOS update, but as people wake up on December 2 in the United States and other countries throughout the world, there's likely to be quite a lot of confusion when devices begin inexplicably respringing over and over again.
If you're experiencing continual crashing, the first thing to try is disabling notifications for apps that send regular reminders. It can, however, be difficult to tell which apps are responsible, so a secondary solution is to set the date on your iPhone to before December 2 as you await a fix from Apple.
If you aren't experiencing any crashes, there's no need to turn off notifications or adjust the date on your device.
Update: Apple has released iOS 11.2 to fix this problem, along with an accompanying support document outlining steps to take if you're experiencing crashes. Apple recommends turning off notifications and then installing the update.

I just want to know where I can find that wallpaper??
I never had this issue on my 8 or X. I still own them both and have no issues. I seem to very fortunate dodging all these bugs. The only one I had was the calculator glitch, which was resolved with today’s 11.2 update.

Same.
So...because it didn't happen to you and another irrelevant person everyone else is crazy?
"It just works...sometimes"
[doublepost=1512243304][/doublepost]Maybe today was supposed to be the launch of the HomePod? Wasn't it supposed to be late this year but now delayed until the spring.
If we want to name them all, might as well bring up Kiritimati (Christmas Island), which is GMT +14!
On a side note, that place is a whopping 24 hours ahead of Hawaii's time zone!
I turned off notifications for the Calendar only and that stopped the iphone from crashing . Then i checked for software updates and saw that 11.2 was available, updated my phone, turned notifications back on for my calendar and wala, no phone crashes.

I disabled notifications just for Calendar and that did the trick. But then i found 11.2 available, updated my phone, turned notifications back on for Calendar and so far so good, no more crashes.
