iOS 11 is a truly magical piece of shit
- Thread starter Living the Dream
- Start date
i mean, the structure of it is so shit that you have to have an OS update to update things like safari, mail, calendar, etc.
I love my ipad, but it is definitely eye opening coming from Android and hitting all of the limitations in iOS.
Havent really encountered anything of note on my 6S, but I do get the iMessage bug fairly often. Definitely no freezes or app crashes. Battery drain has been awful on my phone in general even before iOS 11 so not sure thats really the culprit of my current battery woes.
Yeah, its not in good shape atm on 7+
* Battery life is not as good, phone heats up like a mofo just browsing twitter.
* Input field/keyboard for imessages randomly disappears and I have force quit.
* Some apps get stuck in landscape aspect.
* UI performance has degraded.
* Podcast app is a disaster.
* Taps sometimes don't register
* Taps on status bar to scroll Safari randomly stop working, force quit Safari to fix.

At least iOS gets updates.
Yeah my friend has been bugging out over it and Ill admit Ive been having a laugh.
"They removed the text under the apps on the dock thingie! Why!"
"My battery dies in half the time now!"
"All of a sudden my IDApple password doesn't work!"
"I cant fix my password because it says my security questions are wrong! I remember what street I grew up on, how can it be wrong! It never changed!"
"Oh my god the security question was case sensitive!?"
"Why is my computer getting my texts 4 hours before it shows on my phone all of a sudden!?"
"Oh god now I have to wait 96 hours for my account to recover etc etc"
I probably got a lot of that wrong because I havent touched Apples ecosystem in an eternity, but this shit has had me laughing my lungs out for the last week or two. He upgraded and its been a fucking nightmare. Moreso than usual.
Watching the same guy that tries to tell me I don't REALLY enjoy my headphone jack, sitting on a phone with some rep with his phone plugged to his Mac trying to do some phone form of holding Control-Alt-Delete so he can "Reset and Recover" his phone that's stuck in some... mode, which will of course delete all the data on the phone
so he can restart it and discover later than none of the data he thought was in the cloud, was actually IN the cloud, so its gone.... is just..
Wow.

plex keeps on freezing my ipad mini 2 and it feels way more sluggish than ios 10 ever was
I hate it
I also don't like clicking a link in inbox or whatever and it just opens up chrome a tiny window instead of just taking me fullscreen

Going to give it some more time before I update my iPad air 1.
My 6S has been having weird enough problems (occasionally just turning off but then going to the home screen without the white+apple restart and still letting me use Touch ID, Safari constantly losing all my tabs, etc.) as is that I don't want to upgrade.
But my Watch battery swelled and the replacement they gave me is fully upgraded, so I have to go to 11 just to use it again...

But thats crap, it really shouldnt. The iPhone 6 is nearly as fast as some Android flagships, theres no excuse for iOS running as poorly as it does. Its not like its doing anything far more advanced than Android, and Apple has the luxury of optimising for a relatively small number of devices.

Yeah it is buggy as hell. As an example, all my alarms would go off every day even if they were for select days.
Processor-wise, but only 1gb RAM. Maybe RAM is more of an issue for iOS 11.
But I agree, iOS 11 is poorly optimised, given that there are performance issues even on iPad pros.

These stories are so crazy. It has been working really well on my iPhone 6. The only thing I wish they did was make the control center completely customizable. I find it too convoluted. They should let us move things around and even make a second page like before if we want to. Maybe I just need some time to get used to it.

It has been kind of janky on my SE, but nothing too bad.

Same here on a 5s. I think its gotten slightly better with the point updates and with apps getting updates.
- apps occasionally freeze and eventually crash. When they are frozen the phone often doesnt respond and screen and button presses queue up
- control center still sometimes doesnt recognize music players other than Apple Music (how convenient) and volume controls stop working. Super annoying when youre working out

My battery life.... my precious battery life.
I agree iOS 11 is a huge step backwards. I regret updating.

I got an iPad mini 2 and I fear for the performance after setting up my colleagues iphone 7.

Definite issues with Siri on my Apple Watch via iPhone 6 since updating. Super frustrating as it works flawlessly at times still and was very reliable before the update - WTF.
Only the half speed or 30fps bug is all I got. Otherwise iOS 11 has been pretty stable
This is so odd to me. I've been running iOS for years and I haven't had any of these issues.

7+ and iPad Air 2 working great over here. I mean its a touch more sluggish in animations but no real problems.

The play button on the drag up menu is RIDICULOUSLY small. Why would they make it so impractically small?
That's about my only complaint though.

Wifi takes ages to reconnect after unlocking on my 6S+ now. It's annoying to open twitter or spotify or whatever and have them using 4G for a while before the phone gets a clue. If I open settings it will reconnect immediately for some reason.
Had some issues on 11.1 beta 1 on iphone7
- apps opening in landscape mode (specially tweetbot all the time)
- minimized facetime calls and switching to another app showed me half of the screen just plain black
- notifications still buggy
- 1-2 springboard crashes
- every 3-4 days hardlooks
junmped on beta 2 last night:
so far no problems here.

Yea I like Apple but iOS11 has been a terrible experience for me thus far on my 7 some of my major issues:
It doesn't always register taps (seriously getting out of a twitter moment is a PITA now because taps in the upper portion just don't register(
Apple apps (and Twitter) will flat out stop responding for no reason
Battery life is complete ass
Bluetooth will sometimes randomly disconnect
Safari becomes nonresponsive if I'm on a webpage for too long, doesn't even matter what page I'm on. I've had it freeze on google ffs

Fine on my iPad, but my iPhone 7 isn't havin' a good time. I had to restore my phone after apps would randomly hang for up to ten seconds at a time.
6s here and ios 11 since first beta, works like a wonder.
Today I also installed IOS 11.1 beta 2 and they finally brought back 3D Touch multitask (that was removed in IOS 11)
I am very very happy.
Phone runs smooth as butter and I am impressed because its going to be a 3rd year that this phone feels fast/fresh as fuck.
Iphone feels like a great investment for the future.

The walled garden never helped there. It was always the case that iOS benefitted from being a relatively clean, new OS without legacy cruft.
But now it's the worst of all worlds - Apple don't make any of the legacy cruft work, and they also clearly don't have the time or resource to go through and do a proper code cleanup - iOS's code base is full of things written for hardware features or functionality that no longer exists or has been through several directions of travel now, and frankly it's beginning to show really badly.
A bit of this happened with iOS8, but clearly not enough, and the situation is getting really bad again. It needs a Snow Leopard. But software leadership in Apple is totally lacking now.
