I loved my iPhone on iOS 10 but this is really upsetting. Weeks now and my battery life is still terrible as well as bugs. My phone now wants to get stuck in landscape mode randomly. I have to close the app out and restart it to get it out of landscape mode. This is the exact same stuff that pushed me away from android. This plus the garbage OS that is High Sierra is a bad mark for Apple. Something is wrong with their quality control.

My series 0 watch on watchOS 4 has been burning through its battery in less than 12 hours for the last two days. Have no idea what's going on. I've restarted it, checked the background privileges for 3rd party apps...nothing looks out of the ordinary.
Battery Life is showing all kind of crazy values over the last few days. Really not sure if this is really my battery breaking apart again (Pretty sure its not, its been 3-4 years the last time before the battery noticible was breaking apart), or that its iOS going mumbo jumbo.
To bad the App left the App Store after iOS 11 launched, so we cant check if anyone else has the same issues, but the app leaving can be a sign that its indeed not working properly...

Every time I updated to 11.0.X it deletes all my SMS. This is idiotic.

Errors in iOS are silent: you wont get a BSOD or anything. At best, a soft lock or forced reboot. So youre basically right: anyone having trouble with iOS absolutely should erase all and restore from iCloud backup.
Even when it *feels* like a hardware issue, you may as well do it because it has a great chance of helping, and its exactly what Apple will ask to do in the Genius Bar anyway.
Ive seen issues with cellular connectivity, battery life, and the touchscreen itself resolved by this, even when it seemed completely counterintuitive.
cross post from the iOS gaming thread.
Apple released iTunes 12.6.3 to enterprise which retains the App Store components that are removed in 12.7 while adding support for iOS 11.
The 12.6.3 version will act as a 12.7 replacement for those that need to keep the App Store and you won't be asked to update to 12.7 with it installed.

If you have already updated to 12.7 though, your library won't be compatible with 12.6.3, it'll need to be rebuilt or an older version be used.

Yep and its got lots and lots of new emoji.
I've heard that removing the Siri watch face might help with battery life. Can't confirm but worth a shot.

Like an accessibility setting? I don't think so. It was just outright removed in iOS 11.
edit: oh, I get what you mean now, and I dont know. Reckon it wasnt though.
Awesome, cant wait to try this on my 8+
Too bad it will be about a month I guess
I didn't even know about this until it was removed from iOS11 but it seems like something I'd use.

9to5 says the 3D Touch switcher is more consistent now. Thats good because that was always my problem with it. Also it can now switch directly to the previous app instead of having to use the switcher.

I never really used it because of how inconsistent it was for me. If it really is better now I can see myself using it regularly.

It could switch directly to the previous app in iOS 10.

Back in 11.1
I think it just seems unnatural to go back on the left side of a phone. Apple isn't Samsung.
Not sure where else to put this...
iCloud Bookmarks addon for Firefox has just been updated. I've never had any problems with it - it's always synced bookmarks for me, even when everyone said it was broken - but for those who had issues before, it might be worth another shot?
(It does of course require iCloud for Windows, too)

Are there any apps that allow mixed use of music, podcasts, and audiobooks? Like is it possible to queue up one chapter of a book, then play ten songs, then a podcast, etc? Spotify allows podcasts now, which gets it close, but it cant access audiobooks.
Also:
Has anyone done professional work with photo or video processing on iPad? I hope to get back into making some side cash doing events and portraits, but I want to improve my mobile workflow. Any tips, must-have apps, warnings?

mine got better as i turned off apps in the icloud settings. No clue why.
Looks like it doesn't really work like that after more research.
Stuff that's fully downloaded will not go away. I may just have to turn off iCloud Photo Library on the phone then manually delete everything.
Afterward, I can just turn it on again and get only the optimized versions installed.
Probably more trouble than it's worth.
When I tried to delete an app yesterday, the app icon wasn't removed from the homescreen. Instead, it was only dimmed. The app title was gone, however. Tapping it didn't do anything, but I was still able to move it around in wiggle mode. There was no X button to delete it, though.
It was gone after restarting my device.

Seem this for many iOS releases. Might have always been there.
Does anybody else have this weird auto rotation bug since ios11, when the screen refuses to rotate within an app (can be any app, it seems) when you rotate the device from portrait to landscale or back? You need to exit to the main screen, which then rotates to the new orientation, and then get back in the app.
So annoying in a book reader and safari on my iPad Mini 4. Had hope it would be fixed in quick patches, but no luck so far.

Not sure if people use the reminder app....but it froze on me consistently (1 in 2 times) when I tried to move events across lists.

Yeah I have that occasionally, also on a Mini 4. I have also had the reverse where it gets stuck on the main screen until I open a new app. Hope it gets fixed!

Is it not possible to put my Apple Store gift card in my Wallet? It might be too old to. I Googled and looked at Apple's support page on it and it says there's a QR code the app would recognize. My card doesn't have one. Just a barcode and two sets of numbers and letters. The bottom one with the barcode is all numbers and the top one, under the scratch off stuff, is all letters. I tried to enter the all numbers one manually and it didn't work. Tried to enter the all letters one as numbers (Like I was dialing a phone) and it didn't work.
I guess it can't be put in. Are newer Apple Store gift cards compatible? Mine might be too old since it's from 2012. (And according to Apple's site still has $50 on it shockingly.)
Not a big deal. Just curious. I really need to spend it before it expires.

Is that a bug? Do you have preserve settings selected?

Hasn't happened to me on iPhone 6S. It only takes a while to load, black screen for a few secs and then I get the camera when I go to it from lockscreen.
What is killing me right now is the keyboard. It lags, whenever I open an app to start typing a text, it will lag. All the initial key touches will lag and then the complete word I typed will show onscreen at once.
When you people say clean install, you mean restore to iPhone, and then restore my backup?
Thank you all.
Are you able to redeem the gift card at all? Because after that you can add your iTunes Pass to your Wallet, which should have the recently added funds.
To add your iTunes Pass to Wallet:
Open App Store > Tap on your Apple ID icon/picture on the top right > Scroll down to iTunes Pass > Add iTunes Pass
I thought that only preserved selected mode (photo, video, pano etc)?
At any rate Live Photo has its own preserve switch which is on so Live Photo shouldnt be toggling itself back on.
I love Live Photo but it only makes sense to use it in like 25% of my photography so I would rather turn it on when I want it only.

In the setting (your apple ID, then icloud), theres a whole bunch of apps that use icloud by default (example: google drive, camera+, whatsapp, etc) i turned off a bunch of those that i didnt need to save to icloud and the battery got better. I cant explain it
