Please Apple: how about a Snow Leopard year or even TWO: bug fixes & refinements instead of glitz & gimmicks? iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS please! Take that time to revive "just works" again.
Thanks but no thanks. We had many many years in a row of bland updates with little to none exciting new features. iOS need to start innovating again. Apple is big and has enough staff to both introduce new features and make sure everything works as expected.

Judging by the current state of things, I would say that´s not true.

Would be interesting to find out more about whats causing this crash and the rather than having a read thru a thread with people shouting "lousy apple". If you ever worked as a developer or close to a group you do get an idea that its not as simple as many would like to think. You also software outside the OS that seem to impact performance and if it can do that, then my guess is that it can cause a crash too.

Also, its seems to happen when people are charging their phones.

Either way its going to be interesting to find out more about what caused the issue.

When does that last part get underway? Because it feels like we are getting increasingly far from “just works” in even basic functionality. I’d be thrilled with your last sentence if I could notice some big strides in the part after “and.”

I have a bug with my XS Max on iOS 17 where it won’t charge - it’ll say it’s plugged in but won’t charge unless I reboot the phone. Kinda wild how many power related bugs iOS 17 has had!
Same. But with Xs. It’s not just cable for me. Quite often my wireless charging fails after a couple seconds. The charger works fine on my partners android. And I know I put it on correctly. There’s a light indicator that says it charges or not.

Why are you still using an XS? Upgrade, your phone is prehistoric.

Jesus Christ. Prehistoric?. Maybe it´s because I´m 54 years old, but I see it differently.

I used my Iphone 5S from 2013 until 2020, when I changed it for a brand new second gen Iphone SE. I changed my Ipad Air, bought in 2013, in 2020, for a brand new base model Ipad. And I am still using my 21.5 inch Late 2012 iMac, albeit with Sonoma installed thanks to Open Core Patcher.

I love Apple products, but I´m not wealthy. Their longtime software support (many many years), no doubt helps.
 
Maybe you have a special version of iOS. So special that revealing it would end you up in a secret court ;)
 
iOS 17 has been nothing short of a disaster.
People say that about every release because every bug is considered significant news. I don't believe the phone is turning off, but some nightly process is crashing, most likely from a memory leak, and is putting the phone in a weird failed state. If the phone were off, it would not instantly respond when you wake it up in the morning on first use. I had the battery tracking stop in the middle of the night and not start again until I woke the phone up.
 
I haven't seen that issue (iPhone 15 Pro here).

Is there a common thread, like certain models?
 
I have charged my phone overnight to try to make it happen. It still didn't. Also has anyone actually seen their phone to be off during this time, because I haven't.
I believe that some process is failing, causing the battery tracking to stop and putting the phone in a weird failed state. The phone is not off.

It's just our phones becoming self aware............. Soon they will rise up and take over the world we will become mindless slaves to them.

I have bad news for you: phones have reached their mature state, and there is nothing really to innovate, which is why Apple is moving to other hardware, and phones will get minor updates to hardware and software.
 
I don’t have said bug… but since it isn’t getting fixed I probably will as part of this update.
 
Not enough clean energy to charge so phone turns off to keep you from using more battery until more clean energy is available. It's a feature.
 
Happened to me last night on 14 Pro, running the RC, then this morning it said there was a new update and proceeded to install the RC again.
 
If there is a crash, there should be a crash report in the diagnostics logs. Has anyone looked at those yet to see where in the system it's crashing?
