iOS 11 - who's upgrading?

[anonymous-user]

I have a new iPad running 11

Annoying red 1 blob on settings that is it nagging me to finish setting up the iPad... Siri, Touch ID and Apple Pay

I don’t want these things. Can I stop it nagging me?

I run two phones, one for work and one for personal

Upgrade was due for work, so I decided to jump ship from iPhone to an S8. Let’s hope it’s a wise decision.

Not sure but worth starting the process and cancelling half way through. This may well clear the notification. Or turn off all notifications for Settings (though I'm not sure you'd want to do that as it would mean you wouldn't be notified when software upgrades are available).

My wife has done this. I was contemplating an X in February, but after the current issues on my 6s might go for an s8 or similar

Quite a few annoying things when switching, all caused by Apple. iMessage, arghh, which I would have known you have to sort this before you leave the iphone. Very difficult to rectify after the switch.

Another user who regrets "upgrading" to iOs11.

All manner of problems, and some "features" are just stupid, such as the bluetooth not switching off,

Battery life is atrocious.

I’m running iOS 11.2 beta on my iPhone 6s Plus and iPad Air 2.

All the other versions of ios11 have been buggy or killing batteries.

This version battery life is very good, I don’t notice any bugs and despite the annoying not being fully able to turn off Wi-fi and Bluetooth everything has been uneventful.

Your not saying why though ?

The vast majority on here have upgraded and regret doing so .

I think what the previous poster means is if you have already installed iOS 11 then definitely install subsequent updates on the basis that they are steadily correcting all the flaws that should never have been released in the first place...

Reading this thread I think I'll hold off installing iOS 11 a little bit longer.

Apple are rapidly turning me off their products, when my phone contract expires in January I don't think I'll be upgrading to another iPhone.

Turned off Bluetooth in system settings and it did not come back on this morning. I had been turning it off in the control panel and did not realise it would come back on a 5am.

Something like that.

It is rather like buying a car, finding it has a fault and refusing to let the garage try to put it right.

Yes, it may take the garage two attempts to correct the fault, but that is the better option.

I disagree. Much better to find other's in your situation and see what those incremental updates do. It sounds like each one is just getting worse in some area. Whilst some of the things don't affect me as much, others do. I will wait until the bits I care about are fixed and get that update.

[Alucidnation]

Thing is, not all of the niggles are affecting everybody.

Did a bit of reading on the battery and there are others with the issue. sNot really looked at what it is doing as it never seemed to be an issue. Ran mine to dead after a full charge this time yesterday, well, trying to. That is browsing and running audio books yesterday, it went down quickly at one point and stuck at 41% for hours. It is not at 1% and still going but showing 23+ hours in standby.

Something on one of the apple forums said something about running it flat then uninterrupted re charge but re set at the start of the charge when it went flat.

I have a work IP6. Upgraded to the iOS11 a week or so back and it is now running much slower - a bit laggy when waking up and loading apps which were, prior to that, nice and quick and smooth.

With the launch of the 8 and 10 and the latest iOS slowing down older phones (well my older phone anyway), it stinks of planned and forced obsolescence - just glad I didn't spend my own money on it!

[CoolHands]

It’s on my ipad air 2 - it’s fine. Have not installed on my iphone 6 due to reports on here, so not risking it yet.

[Alucidnation]

11.2 now available.

[Warmfuzzies]

Installed this morning, it’s slightly improved the WhatsApp and messaging experience, but only marginally.
Apps are still slow to initialise, but mostly fine when running.

Last I checked the blue tooth, set to off in settings and it stays off. Set to off in control panel and it will re enable at 5am.

[jmorgan]

Re connect connected devices, car play or something. Apple have always enabled it after updates, it is part of the unofficial user update process, re start device, disable bluetooth.....

[Alucidnation]

Interesting to see a pop up appears now when turning off Bluetooth from control panel.
