I spoke to Apple this morning, as mine was unresponsive when I picked it up - couldn’t click on any Apps, home button etc.

They’ve said to restore it as a new iPhone or if it is an out of warranty repair, it’s £303.44. Absolute crazy!
Only the same as if you went to your drive and your car wouldn’t start and it was out of warranty.

Depends on whether the fault has been caused by the update or just randomly happened to be a hardware fault that developed immediately after an update. If your car had a recall for a software update and it wouldn't start but the garage offered to fix it for £300 whilst it was there, would you be happy ?

Here's hoping a factory restore solves the problem.

And I have a shilling that says I bet it does.

£300 for a car yes, but when a phone is like £500 new then £300 seems a lot. I was saying it was a lot, I was not refusing to pay that or that...

That £300 won’t be a repair either it will be a replacement.

Had to factory reset the iPad twice over the years, it is backed up but worked fine both times. As I had not backed up the apps, it was refreshing to see what I no longer loaded.

Annoying autocorrect issue since the last update - when I want to type the word “is”, my iPhone changes it to “I.S”

I find this annoying as “is” is a reasonably common word in English and I pretty much never want to write “I.S”

Does anyone know how to change this? I’ve tried every relevant setting I can find

Funnily enough the I.S just happened to me - that I.S definitely a bug

I thought it must have been me teaching it wrong, glad to read it’s common

No stability issues on my 6S, just a markedly crapper battery

On a 6s. Lat st minor update has helped things slightly, but still juddery in various apps, makes any games unplayable.

Annoying the update text blamed people using thins party hardware fixes. tts. It’s their software that has fked these phones!

No I’d disagree it’s the st cheap 3rd party screens that fks them. Apple write their code for their base device if a 3rd party screen is not made to the same standards that’s not their problem.

You’ve missed the point. I’m not using a cheap third party screen. The millions of people affected by the current 6s issues also aren’t using third party screens. But Apple are blaming their poor softwares performance on doing so.

Update: Backed up and restored my iPhone last night, as it threw a wobble yesterday - shut down, wouldn't switch back on and when it did, overheated and lost 25% of the battery.

Initial impressions are it's a lot better, seems a lot quicker then before and only lost 7% during night (was losing 12 - 13% before)

See how we go...

I have an iPad pro - Since iOS 11, the screen rotation is slow to respond. Much slower than iOS10 - Is it just me?

Have I missed something glaringly obvious, or is it not possible to mass dismiss all notifications any more? I can only do the ones from a previous day, and even then it’s clunky. That’s one area where iOS really is still light years behind android.
