I had same issue on my 8+. I thought maybe it was the camera itself at first.
Whatever happened to "it just works"??
Now it's a case of "it should work .... after we release the next software update".

That's not true at all. All my Xiaomi, Huawei and certainly my Next gets updates. All my phone has the latest Google Security updates.
And... The best thing with Android is that I don't have to dealnwith these annoying update badages and annoying update pop up
So your Androids are on 8.0? Nice!!! Or are you just spouting BS?
Monthly Security patches are just that. They usually don’t fix major software issues.
I didn't mean only this camera issue. Some quick short list:
- 4th December bug (affecting all devices using local notifications)
- calculator bug (affecting all devices, fixed by Apple by... disabling animations)
- A with weird symbol instead of "I", not sure if all but a lot of X affected
- HomeKit bug (all affected as far as I remember)
And you keep on retelling me same bug over and over again. But I've read about this bug a little and I can agree with you that it was there for some devices and took long to fix. Still, that's only one example over two years timespan.
BTW, I don't care when my device will get 8.0 as it has already more features than iOS will have in two years
.That's a rather moot statement. No issues should ever exist when it comes to anything, but reality is reality nonetheless.

By that logic it never applied to anything as there is essentially always someone experiencing some issues with something somewhere.

Memory leak. Battery bug. I can go on and on. Affecting google and non google devices. All taking months to fix.
You are comparing a new OS vs your over year old OS.
WHY NOT COMPARE BUGS between iOS 11 and Android 8?? Both came out same time.
Do you see how silly your “argument” is?
I don't be the urge that Apple fans wants to bring Android when the discussion is about stupid iPhone problem. What does Android has to do with camera problem happened on iPhone.
By the way, if I am paying 1500+ for the stupid iPhone X, I expect perfect phone. Not these stupid software bug. If Apple can't develier that, then people will complain.
And no. Not all my Android phone are in Android 8.0. However, that doesn't mean all the sudden my Android phone will be less secure that what it is. Xiaomi and Huawei has done pretty good job on sending updates to its MiUI or EMUI. What I want is a good update that doesn't screw my phone, instead just running the latest version. MIUI 9 runs absolutely beautiful on my Redmi Note 4 and Mi Max. EMUI runs great on my Huawei P10.
See I refuse update all my iOS devices to iOS 11. I only updated one iPhone 6S and performance is awful. But I don't care much, because i stopped using iPhone as my daily driver.

If you think Android is bad, then good. You just showed iOS is just as bad as Android.
In this case, I might just stuck with my 300 dollar Android phone. It runs better than my iPhone 6S with iOS 11
I bring up Android to compare the silliness of some here that think that software is easy and should be perfect from get go.
You need to read up on Android 8.0 security features hardbaked into it. It is far more secure than 7.0.
So, Note 8 with MSRP $940 or Pixel XL 2 $950 (highest memory config) should be perfect too??? They too should not be buggy either?
You get how silly your argument is now?
Chinese OEMs...how many of them are loaded with spyware? How many are allowed into government agencies, especially Huawei?!?! Wanna guess why?!
You know very well what I mean. When Jobs was around, we didn't have nearly so many required updates. The man was a perfectionist and he was demanding. Cook is a great guy, but under his watch the QA has slipped. There's just no doubt about it.
Not having as many releases can also mean that just not as many bugs were being fixed as quickly. There were definitely all kinds of issues no matter who was in charge. One other thing to factor in is the much much larger user base with a much larger variety of devices of all kinds of ages with a more complex OS, all of which has grown a lot in comparison to early years of iOS.
I am not saying that you shouldn't hold same standard for 900 dollars Pixel or Samsung Note 8. If I am paying 1000 plus for a phone, it better to be not bug riddled. So far, good know how many bugs were discovered with iOS 11. Constant updates and constant bug. To the point that you start get annoyed with the updates. I rather not update the software than constantly facing new bugs.
Again, I don't know if there any spyware fund on Chinese phones. If Chinese government wants to spy on me, then go ahead. I don't really care. What they gonna get from me? It is not like Canadian or US government not spy on me. It is not like iOS has no backdoor. You just don't know about it.
Again, German government just passed a law requiring all electronic devices must have backdoor. What does that tells you.
Again. Point is not about how fast one can fix bugs. It is customer shouldn't go through constant updates. If I need update my software every week just to make my phone works normally, then I won't use it. That is the point.
With the latest release, switching from an app to another sometimes is problematic! Sometimes when I land to a new app from another, it remains white and not responsive. I have an iPhone 7 256Gb and with 3 apps open, never had so many problems with iOS. Considering switching to Pixel 2
Good luck with finding your problem-free Pixel 2. Please do your research on the multitude of issues regarding Pixel 2. But everyone has their day in the sun...so, you may get a lucky one.
Search on AndroidPolice. It is almost comical at how many issues Pixel 2 (XL or regular) have had!!!

So what you're saying is Apple is as "bad" as Android these days?

They share the some of the same features....
