iOS 11 application broken. Apple default app as well

Felipe,

Yes i am backing up my photos to my computer. If that is the cause iPhone is not a storage device, then why is apple creating 256GB and 512GB for iPhone/ipad? how much stuff do u need to store 256GB/512GB? If you are saying that iPhone is not a storage device... It's quite a joke that you have 8000 points but did not see the issue. Are you saying everytime you take a video or photo you must transfer the photo to the computer? so actually apple doesn't even need to create such huge storage devices.

No, I am staying that you should have a backup strategy in place for many obvious and multiple reasons that you already know and I won't go into here. Why the storage space? Maybe because some people want to run big an many apps on their phone.

But all of the above is irrelevant to the question at hand and the joke is that your snarky and snide remarks aren't doing you much good here.

You have already been offered the solution to your problem. Whether you decide to implement it, is up to you.

Have a nice day.

Is this problem with old photos confirmed by Apple? Certainly, in my case I have photos from the first iPhone i owned (back in early 2008).

If this is really the origin of the problema with the upgrade...is there any workaround? Like erasing old photos and performing backup and restore?

This may be silly, but It's been 5 days by now since I upgraded my iPhone 7 and lost all non-Apple apps, besides being unable to install any app through App Store. I went to an App Store and they were unable to provide any solution. Same with the phone support.

I don't want to offend anybody, but suggesting to restart the iPhone as new is not an acceptable solution (i did it and worked), cause I have 22 K photos, all of them with people identified (People álbum in iPhotos). That means I've devoted probably hundreds of hours along the last months to keep my Photo Library in 'perfect shape'.

I tried to use bugreport, as you suggested in a previous post, but it was to much trouble (if I remember well, you need a developer account for doing it). To be sincere, I'm also sceptical that Apple is going to put much effort on this problem, as it seems it has affected a small percentage of the huge number of upgrades to iOS 11 that must have taken place by now.

I can't wait any longer, cause my iPhone is almost useless, so now that I have a full backup of my potos, I think I'm going to start the iPhone as new.

Sad story. After 10 years of buying every iPhone on the market (many of them twice, for other members of my family, apart from several iPads) I think is time to consider moving to Android. Apple 'closed ecosystem' phylosophy is fine while evrything goes well, but failures happen (and they allways happen) you are lost.

Good luck, anyway

I tried again to send a Bugreport, and this time I succeeded (or so I think).

However, what you said about the unability to get my photos back to the roll (in fact, the 'All photos' as Apple has renamed the roll) is not correct. I do it all the time to transfer photos taken with my reflex camera to the iPhone, and they appear in People, Places, Moments, etc., exactly like the ones I take with the iPhone Camera.

Thank you for your support through this painful process.
