Lots of bugs in ios 11.0.3 on iPhone 6s

I have had very glitchy, slow, performance from camera on iPhone 6 since update. Also have other sporadic slow responses throughout the apps from Apple such as messages, and email.

I am growing tired of telling friends to be patient, that apple will fix it, and that it isn’t apples way of trying to make us buy a new phone...

iPhone 7 plus running iOS 11.0.3

Just adding my experience. I had none of these issues with iOS 10.x

No on-screen volume indicator when I press volume up and down hardware buttons.

Generic now-playing card on lock screen when playing something in Music.

No now-playing card at all when playing content in other audio apps (Overcast, Spotify, etc.)

Hitting pause on my Powerbeats3 fades out other audio apps and begins playing what’s in Music.

Other audio apps not showing in the Control Center widget— only Apple’s Music app.

Example: Begin playing audio in Overcast. Lock phone. Raise to wake, no now-playing card. Swipe up to control center. Audio widget just says “Music.” If the controls are available, podcast stops and music starts playing, then controls are grayed out. The only way to stop the music is to go into the Music app and do it manually.

Hard resetting fixes this temporarily.

Some other issues since iOS 11. What I can recall off the top of my head.

During a call: audio icon does not present a speaker phone option.

During a call: audio routed to Powerbeats3 headphones no matter what I choose. Headphones need to be powered off to use the handset for audio.

During a call: voices can be strangely pitched lower (very weird!).

Entire interface freezing, then sometimes unfreezing with all my input rushing through.

Apps freezing. Apps launching to blank screen and then unexpectedly quitting, repeatedly.

Force-quitting apps doesn’t help.

I’ve deleted and reinstalled some common apps I use (Instagram, Snapchat, etc.)

Resetting Network Settings did nothing.

Resetting All Settings did nothing.

I did a wipe and restore of my iPhone. No noticable improvement.

At this point all there is left is to set the iPhone up as new. Which is a destructive process that should not be necessary. I’m hoping that iOS 11.1 addresses these issues. I’d feel better about setting up as new if iMessages in the cloud rolls out.

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😡

I am having the same issues as you! I didn't want to but Apple Support today had me do a reset and I have the same issues as before but now my battery is draining much faster. They setup an appointment for me to get service tomorrow and possibly swap out my iPhone 8 but after reading all these posts it's probably a software issue.

Then don't accept the replacement. Insist that you want to live with the problems.

So bad experience with this update, many of my friends suffers as well. Ordered an Android phone, ready to move...

People never have problems with Android phones, of course.

No, they are perfect. Except when they catch fire.

As I recall, they didn't actually catch fire. They exploded!

Horrible battery drain. I used to make it through till bedtime without having to worry about recharging. Now I am down to 30 or 20% by 7pm. And that is with charging it in car on way home. Not buying a new iphone they are replacing mine.

Since the 11.0.3 update for my 6s my biggest issue is with my text messaging. It never goes to full screen anymore, it crashes, it lags.....I have alot of other issues with the iOS standard built ins but for me being a frequent user of text messaging it is beyond frustrating.

I do wonder why on a new release of another iPhone our older models always seem to have problems. Why do Apple always think the general public are so wealthy to be able to afford their product......I hate saying this as I do like them over other makes 😩

It's just sumsung, the problem of battery defect.

Does this matter to other Android?

I feel funny about your proof.

Just to tell the fact, this 11.0.3 update really *****, many basic function and fatal issues, not seen before.

Even though iphone is complained long time about its fragile battery in cold weather, i've tolerated it so far as i can still make it work properly by keeping it warm. But with this update, you really can't use it most of the time, just watching it stuck, no way to help.

Is it so that you have to be silent and do nothing when an iphone has bugs, lots of severe bugs?

Ridiculous fans...

Absolutely not. If I had any of those problems, I'd be talking to the resident "Genius" at an Apple Store demanding that my phone be repaired.

Do you know compatibility?

So eveytime you upgrade your OS, all APPs need to reprogram?

Which company plays the same? Only Apple...

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!
