Music skipping on iPhone

The title says it all, really.


Since I've updated my iPhone to iOS 11.3, audio intermittently skips.


It does this with both the native music player and Spotify. Never had it before to this degree, but it's doing it quite frequently now (once every 15-ish minutes or so). Audio files haven't changed and the music appears to play normally in iTunes on my Mac. Any ideas?


Thanks.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.3

Well, I'm glad it's not just me. I've tried rebooting, resetting, all the usual, but that doesn't seem to cure it. Word is that memory management is better in 11.3 versus some of the previous 11.x versions, so wonder if that has some bearing on why this happens?


Tried listening to music yesterday afternoon and the gap between "skips" seemed to gradually get shorter. It was doing it once or so every ten minutes yesterday. Really quite annoying.
