So after receiving my X ten days ago, everything was running fine. Until my Apple Music subscription expired yesterday. Then it decided to remove a lot of my music from my phone - which I only found out as I was flying to Madrid. Not to worry, as I have a smart playlist with everything (around 8k tracks) so during my three hour layover I logged on to the airport WiFi, hit download and left it.
Still, everything seemed fine, until this morning. Went to open my music app, and it crashed. Switched the phone off and then on again, still crashed. I figured maybe there was a corrupt file, so went to open settings to delete all my music and start again... except that crashed too. So I did a soft reset - volume up, volume down, hold the side button. Still the music app was crashing, and this time nearly all the other apps were too. But at least I could open the settings this time. So I reset the settings, but again, this did nothing. A factory restore was in order. After restoring from backup, still the same issue occurred - most apps seemed to be crashing instantly. Could only put it down to something being corrupt somewhere.
So, for the first time in nearly 4 years, it was “set up as new iPhone”.
Luckily, things seem to be working as they should now. And anything that was of importance to me was backed up to iCloud. The only slight annoyance is that my texts/iMessages have now gone, but there wasn’t anything too sentimental there.
No real point to this post other than venting really! And a general wondering if anyone else has experienced similar.
Seems that iOS 11 is still pretty buggy.
