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

Hope you're wiling to wait months for your Android updates. With Apple, you get the current iOS update the day it is released. With Android, you often wait 6 months or more for the "current" update from the carrier. I know, cause I used to have Android devices. Sometimes a newer update would be released by Google before the carrier had even sent out the previous release.


This is the major reason I switched to iOS.

I am having the same issues....for months now. Why does Apple and the techs out here keep trying to tell us its not an OS issue when obviously there are more than isolated occurrences. All of my issues started after the 11.0.3 update and Apple claims they forced the update to help prevent our phones from shutting down. FYI Apple, my phone wasn't having any issues until you pushed the update. Now it freezes continuously: When I'm on a phone call and on mute, the phone freezes and I can't unmute. When I'm texting, whether in FB Messenger or Apple Text the keyboard freezes and my letters won't type at all until I close out and go back into the app or sometimes after 10 seconds + the letters start typing, but in random order. I can flip over to Safari and type just fine no issues, no freezing. My screen also freezes on any other random app/screen and starts jumping around like it is on a caffeine high. Funny thing last time I went to the Genius bar they said...and I quote...."Oh well whoever replaced your screen didn't know what they were doing so you'll have to upgrade to an Iphone8 or IphoneX". Hey Genius....you guys replaced the screen for me so now what? They said "Oh, well that is more the reason to just upgrade". My phone worked great before you pushed this update. It is an insult to your user base to try and push this back on them. Do you think I will be alone in switching to another vendor and never looking back at Apple as an option if you don't make this right? Over $600 for a phone and not even close to end of life and you are wanting me to upgrade again so soon? I have jars of mustard in my fridge older than this phone will be and I can tell you that mustard is still good and usable. Your company should put out an apology to your user base and make this right.

1571 people have this question William. Drop in the ocean though, right?

Right. 500 million phones (roughly) have been updated. 1571/500,000,000 = 0.0003%. Or 99.999% do not have a problem.


Want to see a REAL problem? This is from several years ago, when there were only 100 million phones (and a real problem that affected about 5% of them):

That's 2.6 million views if you can't read it. About half of the users who faced the problem.


The point is not the statistics; it is the fact that, though the problem is real, it is localized to a few phones relatively. And the problem most likely doesn't have the same cause for all of them. So the solution is not to bemoan your fate in a forum, it is to contact Apple Support directly using the link at the top of this page. I've had the unfortunate need to contact Apple support 3 times, for 3 different problems, in the past 2 months. They were friendly and helpful in resolving two of them; the third has been escalated to Apple engineering, who contacts me every 3 days with progress updates and to get additional information. And no, they do not know that I am active in Apple Support Communities.
