Lots of bugs in ios 11.0.3 on iPhone 6s

I also have issues after updating my iphone6 to 11.0.3 screen keeps on freezing, it is sooooo unresponsive. I have experienced also not be able to answer phone calls because the screen froze. I can’t even turn off the phone. This should be fix fast.

I don't have so vast experience but the most probably thing happening, they are using the main thread to initialize the apps, receive email, the music, the podcast, and that main thread is the one used for the GUI, as result the phone freezes

I have no clue if you're correct and I have no desire to evaluate your belief. If you're having problems, this type of troubleshooting is a waste of everybody's time. Take your phone to an Apple Store for evaluation and resolution.

Was the best software because works with threads instead of processes, but now with the new developers the main thread is blocked and besides that if the software is only compatible with iPhone 8 only update the iPhone 8 and don’t release for the rest of the devices

No I'm not. I'm talking about a broken phone. I don't care if it's broken because of hardware or because of software.

You can spend your time foolishly claiming that the IOS is at fault. If I were in your position, I wouldn't care what was the cause. I'd go to an Apple Store and demand that my phone get fixed.

Too many people with too many problems, and who knows how many iPhone users are affected because many may be suffering in silence. I do know this: my iPhone 6 ran like a charm until iOS 11.0.3 was released. Now I have four persistent bugs that just won't go away.

Now, I wrote software for 32 years, and I know more than I care to about computers. This is a software issue that is affecting a lot of people. Whether 5,000 people or 1,000,000 people are affected, this problem is completely unacceptable and Apple must address it as soon as possible.

My inability to play music from my iPhone through my Audioengine HD6 speakers is enough for me dump apple and go with a droid. Beyond that, the industry standard codec for Bluetooth is the aspt-x. Apple uses a proprietary codec--the AAC codec, which is not supported by a lot of devices. Maybe that's the problem people are having with Bluetooth. Just an educated guess.

Just discovered that Apple is no longer signing for iOS 10. So even though I made a backup before I updated to iOS 11 I still can't go back to it because Apple won't let me. This is horrible. I'm spreading the word to every person that I see with an iPhone - DO NOT UPDATE TO IOS 11! I've actually resorted to straight out asking people if they have an iPhone so that I can warn them to stay far far away from this update. I can't use my iPhone for anything except playing 1 game now. That's it. (And it crashes at least once every 20 minutes by the way...) This is the worst update I've had on any iPhone I've owned, and I had to suffer through the iPhone 4, so that's really saying something. (Worst iPhone I've ever had.) My iPhone was completely fine up until this update. Now my iPhone feels like it's on fire almost 24/7 even if I have NOTHING running. My battery life is almost nonexistent, not even "low-battery mode" can help with this drain. I now have to resort back to listening to CD's in my car because my bluetooth doesn't work anymore. Well, to be more specific - it works for about 10 seconds but as soon as I hit the play button it says that it's disconnected. It won't play music, nor make phone calls - even though it still shows up on my dash as making a call through the sync system. Please fix this immediately so we can all go back to our daily lives and try to remember why we stuck with Apple, because right now...well, I can't really think of any reason why I stuck with an Apple phone this long.

That's really terrible. Exactly what were you told when you took your iPhone to an Apple Store for evaluation and resolution? If you received a brushoff or anything else that did not resolve your issues, did you speak to a manager and demand satisfaction?

Honestly, you've got to be one heck of a lot more patient than I am if you did not take the above actions.

It appears that the developer did not upgrade the app to function with IOS-11. Very possibly the developer went belly-up.

I don't have any apps with that issue so I can't personally confirm the following. Others have posted in the forum that, before IOS-11 was formally released, Apple generated messages warning users with apps that needed upgrading. You would have seen this message every time that you opened the app. Again, I can't confirm that that is true.

I have been on chat with Apple for 5 days... everyone had a different idea on how to fix my iPhone 6s since I updated to 11.0... then... .2 and now .3.... no one can fix the issues with my phone..... freezes, apps move for no reason.... draining my battery.... open pictures and they are sideways..... Apple tech emaild me to set up a call with an engineer.... hours on the phone with him and all kinds of data was taken about my phone.....my iPhone froze while he was getting info and n my phone.... the can’t fix my iPhone and won’t replace it either.... they want to keep getting. Info and calling me back...... nothing works..... they even said to me “well, that’s not suppose to be like that”.... unreal! And now they won’t call me back.... I am beyond angry😡

Agreed, the proper response to a problem with the Apple IOS update is to spend a lot of your valuable time either with customer support or go to a store help center or buy a new phone. Those are your choices since Apple does not make it easy or even possible to roll back your IOS.

I would say this is something people should consider when purchasing Apple products.

I have been a chat with Apple for over a week and they cannot find out what is wrong. I filed a complaint and an Apple exec. did call me wanting to help. Said he was having an Apple engineer contact me to try and find out how to fix my phone. On chat with what was suppose to be an engineer, which in fact was not, and I connect my phone to my iMac and opened iTunes and he sent a link so he could try and figure out what was wrong by taking over my screen on my iPhone...we were on the phone for way over an hour...he took all kinds of information from my iPhone and then said it would send the information to the engineering compartment.....not one work back from Apple. Not one. With all of the iPhones having this issue, not all, why can't Apple figure it out. I updated to 11.1 and nothing has changed. Nothing!!!!!

"11.0.3 blew up a lot of 6s's immediately before the release of 2 new products" - that statement is 100% factual.

1. From USA Today COT 1, 2017 "iOS 11 killed my battery life. Here's how I finally revived it and you can, too"

2. October 5, 2017 "The analysis from mobile security company Wanderaclaimed the average battery decay for an iPhone running iOS 10 under constant use is 240 minutes. For devices that have upgraded to iOS 11, the decay time is just 96 minutes."

4. iPhone X release date November 3, 2017

5. IOS 11 release date September 19, 2017

I would advise others with these problems to contact apple and express your displeasure.

As I have no displeasure that needs expression it would probably be better if any that take your advice express their own displeasure.

No, it's an opinion.

Provide a link. If it's like most click-bait headlines, though, that article will say that people reported that their battery life had decreased, which in the cases that it it was iOS 11 related, probably had to do with some changes in preferences. I will grant you that iOS 11 did seem to change some settings for no discernable reason.

They have a pretty graph but they give no indications of how they arrived at those numbers. They also use the word "Assume" way too much. The article was publish two days after iOS 11 was released. The update to iOS 11 required a lot of background housekeeping. Almost everyone experienced decreased battery life for a day or two as a result. Once the background processes were complete, the issue was resolved. Also, this article is now four version of iOS 11 out of date.

Okay, yes, those items are facts. I don't dispute them.

Define "a lot."

You make an Apple Store appointment and show up at your appointment time and your issue is addressed in some manner - usually in an hour or less.

I wouldn't consider that "a lot."

...or Apple could just allow us to roll back to earlier releases that worked. Phone worked great immediately before 11.0.3, then not, now mostly back to normal with 11.1 - gnomes must have repaired the hardware while I slept after 11.1
