Lots of bugs in ios 11.0.3 on iPhone 6s

While I haven’t had any apps crashing, my phone now works like crap on 11.0.3. My lock screen often has no date or time, it’s just the blank screen with my selected background. This bug seems to come and go. Sometimes the clock is there, sometimes not. My phone also has trouble with displaying in the proper orientation. I’ll pull it out of my pocket and the lock screen or individual apps will be stuck in landscape mode. Also, I have significantly reduced battery life. I try to swipe all my apps closed fairly regularly, but I don’t even get a day of life out of the phone any more.

Lastly, There’s more then 1300 “likes” for the original post and most of my iPhone using friends are having these same problems but would never come to this website and leave a comment. So by that math, there could easily be thousands and thousands of people experiencing these problems that aren’t posting on a worthless apple tech chat room.

Including a pic of my lockscreen currently acting up.

There's nothing wrong with the phone.

The phone was working perfectly fine before the ios upgrade.

For some of us, our phone is more than a phone. We run businesses with it and other critical stuff with it. To wake up and have an update on an ios without a recourse to going back to a stable platform is just wrong.

Microsoft had the same attitude with the Windows OS. Now Apple and their fanboys are having the same attitude.

Nothing was wrong with my phone until I did the ios update now I am told to live with it?

Can I have my old ios? No!

Hi William,

I’m what you would call a fanatic Apple user. I say user as I don’t have a degree in computer science.

Bought the new iPhone 8. October 15 from Apple regent street London UK. It updated itself to 11.0.3.

I am pretty certain that there is a bug in initiating a message from your call list. Pressing the message button does open a new message but without the receiver’s name at the address line.

I’m sure it’ll be fixed in the next update but it’s unfair to say there is nothing wrong with iOS 11.0.3.

Let’s hope the programmers work it out. Fingers crossed mate !

That article is indicative of almost nothing. "Lots of people" are reporting problems on reddit (my go to for reliable information!). And a graph from...where? IIt's also about iOS 11.0.1.

Please don’t duplicate answers, your only answer is “the iOS 11 works perfectly, send your device to service” we got it, thank you so much

Unless you intend to actually help others it is bad form to criticize those that do.

But, hey, they gave proper attribution to all the reddit posts!

Whatever they can do to sell magazines.

My phone 6s 64 gig is done! After the new iOS update, I am on my third charge today with the least amount of use sense we got these phones from Verizon a little over a year ago... Fed Up with these terrible updates that seemingly destroy a perfectly good phone forcing my family to buy new phones? I don’t think so not again!

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.

I really believe that. I have to carry my phone charger with me because the battery drains so fast. I am loosing faith in Apple....mine freezes...the apps move and I did not move them...I open pictures and they are sideways...I could go on but this is unreal...

Which translates to "you should have more understanding in people who are not native English"

I think it should read, "deberías tener más comprensión de las personas que no son hablantes nativos de inglés".

After what 11.0.3 did it appears that 11.1, according to Apple, does not address the issue of my iPhone freezing and my battery draining or my apps moving. Charged my iPhone this morning...it was laying on a countertop...went back to see how much it charged and there was a different screen on my iPhone....

Someone did repairs on your phone while you weren't looking? Seriously, what does that mean?

i’m still on the fence whether I should update to 11.1 as my phone has actually been behaving and only rebooting when using the FB app. Interesting that the constant rebooting and shutting down that i was plagued with diminished after iPhone X was released🤔

I updated to 11.1 on my iPhone.....still freezes....icons move....I don't know what they think they fixed but it did not fix one thing on my iPhone 6s......I am getting very angry with Apple. Not half as good as when Steve had it....😠

Why you defend so much Apple?, the iOS 11 has fails and is not working with 6s correctly, if you are of the millions of users that don’t have issues, good for you, let the community help to the people with issues
