Still can't understand why they can't (or won't) update individual apps through the App Store. This should've been a quick fix just for calculator app, but now we have to wait for 4-5 more betas before release.
Google has been doing this for years and it has worked with for them, Google is becoming a better Apple by each passing day.

Really?? They couldn’t add this to iOS 11.1? We have to to wait another whole month (at least) for this? Imagine if Steve was still here... he would make them work day and night to fix this ASAP. Most likely would’ve never existed in the first place...
Clearly you don't understand the effort Apple puts into even the smallest of details....

<jony_ive>developing an arithmetic utility requires painstaking precision. The four functions of mathematics have a history that goes back thousands of years. With such a long and prestigious legacy, it is important that only the finest numerical artisans partake of such an endeavor. Each digit is finely crafted to be accurate to the nearest whole number. As each digit is assembled to form a larger number it must maintain the same precision and quality as was done in generations past. oh. and. aluminium.</jony_ive>
 
This bug may have been there a lot longer. My phone is still running 10.3.1 and can reproduce the bug.
 
No, it was reported multiple times through official channels. One of the Apple guys tweeted about it; I can't remember if it was 50 or 80 times, but it was up there.

Apple doesn't know there are issues unless someone report them. I'm sure many went through the official channel to report the bug. Complaining about it on some random internet forum does nothing. Only when they receive bug reports into their own system can they work to resolve them. This is the way it has always worked and the way it works at every company.

It's pretty silly to think some believe that Apple spends all day cruising MacRumors to find out about issues as their sole source of information.

The fact that this has been reported over and over since the initial iOS beta testing period and Apple is not getting around to it until 11.2 shows that Apple is in way over its head.

Apple needs to stop trying to produce something new every year and make its software lifecycle longer!

The publicity fixes things. Obviously this was reported many moons ago with the iOS 11 betas and was never fixed. Once macrumors ran a story on it , the problem became more public and Apple decided they better fix it.

Maybe thats why there are so many bugs in iOS 11. Their numbers were off. Seriously though I'm glad its fixed but sheesh Apple needs to get their stuff together in terms of quality control
 
I'm suprised they didn't add new idiotic emoji. Everybody needs this..
Feel free to take that up with the Unicode Consortium

Quite likely this was addressed before all of that given that this beta was already something that was going through internal testing and getting ready to be released to developers (and public beta testers) for at least a little while now.
 
You probably want to Erase All Content and Settings before handing it in
Yeah, definitely, I just wonder if you need to be on a general release build. I’ve taken models back for hardware faults before and told I need to reinstall the non-beta OS before they can service them, I wonder if this is the same.
 
All the money in the world doesn’t make software projects suddenly abide by different rules, so that part is irrelevant.

It happens occasionally. Probably just a matter of hours, days at most, until 11.1 final. I think there was a time where 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 builds were available in parallel.
A 2 year software engineer dropout is more enough qualifyed to fix

We’re not talking about when OS

You don’t think Apple has iPhones (like the ones on stage at the keynotes) with fake information on it to resemble a ‘typical’ users iPhone, and test it for bugs?

Reports via the official channels, and moaning about it on a forum are 2 different things, and Apple only pays attention to one of them.....
 
It shouldn't be necessary to remove the animation for this to work. The keyboard has animations and can handle fast typing. Other calculators like pcalc have no problems. Doesn't apple have someone that can write code??

What do you know, bugs exist in code, even in that which is written by "someone that can write code".

I’d bet they also pay attention to the mainstream media, which just so happens to sometimes write stories based on discussions found in forums.
