Lots of bugs in ios 11.0.3 on iPhone 6s

Hi Apple,


What have you done with ios 11. Even after 3 updates the stability is terrible.

First of all: a lot of apps aren't working right. they keep crashing or the whole ios crashes and i have to do a hard reset. Even the apps that have been updated work insanly bad.

Second: random ios bugs. like wifi crashing the music app or the volume indicator just stops working. the apps in the bottom part of the screen disappear? the list goes on and on and on.

Last: The battery. i mean my device now only has like 60% of the batterylife it had before. you guys really screwed us over with this terrible update...

please fix asap.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3

1) I haven't seen lots of apps crashing but if they are, that needs to be brought to the attention of the app provider, whether Apple or someone else.


2) I've never seen Wi-Fi crash anything, or the volume indicator stop working. If you have elements disappearing from the bottom of your screen you may also have a hardware issue causing problems on your device.


3) Battery - same here. If you are seeing continual battery issues, take your phone in to be diagnosed; the most common cause of excessive battery draw is a third party app that is not compatible with iOS 11 is stuck in a loop, drawing power.

Equally hard to believe that a hardware diagnosis only requires a phone call.

There is remote diagnoses software that Apple can use. However, my experience with running it (we had access to at least a version of it at Verizon) is that it doesn't catch everything. And, what it certainly doesn't see a lot what's going on with software or user interaction. It's a good place to start but not where you should be stopping.

ios11.1 has been an improvement over 11.0.3 (which nearly made my phone unusable). The 11.0.3 was a horrible update and Apple seems to have corrected many of the battery and freezing issues. That said, I spent 90 min on the phone essentially wasting time and preparing to do a factory reset the night before 11.1 was released. The Apple support was going to have me reset the phone and reinstall the 11.0.3 when they knew or should have know the 0.3 update WAS the issue.


After the new update still less battery life but much closer to the old phone I had pre11.0.3 Lots of deletions and modifications of my posts. So much for Apple opensource free speech. Applespeech TM only Zone

What have you done to troubleshoot a problem with your phone? It is with your phone, not with the version. If it was the version it would affect tens of millions of phones (including mine), and it clearly does not. You can wait forever and no release will ever fix it, or you can either troubleshoot it yourself or contact Apple using the contact support link at the top of every page. Either approach will fix your problem, but just waiting will not.

He isn't defending them he is being realistic. A lot of people had their issues fixed or ameliorated with iOS 11.1. In some cases they had contacted Apple and told them what was happening so Apple could look for a fix. You can wait for 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, etc. until they might hit your problem or you can try some diagnostics, send feedback, call Apple, go to the Apple Store, etc.

What bothers me is the timing and response by Apple. 11.0.3 blew up a lot of 6s's immediately before the release of 2 new products - a skeptical person would say they did this to drive people to the store to buy new phones rather than waste hours on the phone with customer service. Response to my spending hours on the phone with customer service was to have me do a factory reset the night before 11.1 was released. 90 min on the phone before I called it a night at 10pm (without doing the factory reset). Woke up the next morning and updated to 11.1 and most of the major problems were solved.

A true skeptic understands confirmation bias.
