Does your issue happen after taking a screenshot then clicking the preview and cropping? This is one of the issues I've been diagnosing with Apple and it's been our lead lately.

For me I can’t see the point of having restore when a new iPhone needs to be started from fresh. The appeal for me was the hassle free transition whenever I get a new iPhone by being able to restore it like the old one. I’ve been lucky with bugs over the years but iOS 11 was by far the worse version I’ve used to date.
Perspective and personal preference…sure. Superficial? Probably.
Although being able to quickly compose a text or make a phone call from the lockscreen is pretty handy, IMO. Versus having to unlock and then open an app.
If Apple ever implements some of these things it will be interesting to see where preference and superficial come in though.
Apple's pretty good at adopting jailbreak features that soon become part of the customer experience.
They definitely do, they added the compose a text from the lock screen I think in iOS 9 or 10? I forget, but yea some stuff is probably useful, but I am not sure they will ever pay attention to some of the things you mentioned. I'd be cool with all of them, just don't need them.

Yea I keep everything in iCloud so it has been pretty easy for me. Just download the apps that I need and I am good. I prefer to get rid of the junk I don't need with every new device.
I'm willing to admit I am in a minority. It seems a lot of Apple's customers are perfectly fine with the way the OS on any device they own looks and functions. Apple meets your needs.
Yea for sure, nothing wrong with it either way. I tend to just focus on the tasks I need it to do. Right now, iOS is able to execute on everything I need it to do. I welcome changes, but don't need them.
I guess in the grand scheme of things your priorities are just not the priorities of all the other iOS users, hence the OS isn’t catered specifically to your needs.
If I could guarantee I could access my data at all times I’d use iCloud instead of the onboard storage. However 3 and 4G is patchy in my country so it’s only partially useful. I back everything up on iCloud and pay a subscription but it’s only really a backup.
Yea I know my situation isn't very typical, but I am probably the ideal customer for Apple.
He77, I liven a major US metro area and cell coverage outside of the city (and I mean only 5-15 miles, not out in the wilderness) is very, very spotty. That means access can be poor and even when you have access you may be in battery-burner mode with the LTE radio.
As someone who has owned the iPhone 8 plus, iPhone x and now uses the lgv30 as my daily driver, I'm actually very pleased with it. Battery life is excellent, the screen to screen display on certain browsers and apps is as good if not better than the iPhone 10 and it's very customizable and easy-to-use. They're both excellent phones as far as the 8 plus the X and the lgv30 but certain carriers have unbelievable deals if you want to buy an LG and they are not crappy phones like they used to be. I was always the kind of guy that had to have an apple or a Samsung but I took a chance and I think the phone is fantastic
It’s not only about Face ID. And I’m sorry but how was i suppose to know that feature was trash from the start??

im not sure didn’t try to take a screenshot. Just recorded it with another phone.
@Brandonjr36 Thank you!!! *phew* Do I feel better. 
Now, everyone, please continue with your arguing and dogmatic accusations.

Shame Face ID doesn’t work for you OP but for most works just fine and after using it each day I can’t understand how anybody can say it fails. It works at a higher % than Touch ID for me. Nothing will be 100% after all
Yes I do. But it doesn’t have anything to do with screen protector as it doesn’t do it all the time.
[doublepost=1522688790][/doublepost]
It’s just not consistent. It’s fails about the same amount of time it works. About 50-50, I much prefer Touch ID honestly.
I read about poor performance with the swipe up function with a protector installed.. I assume you had the problem before the screen protector was installed?
Must not be related then. One of my issues with the X is getting locked into an app after taking a screenshot then editing it. I get the same behavior as you made a video about after that.
I did, and I owned an X for a month and a half. No problems with the screen protector. It was actually one of the Belkin ones that were recalled. In fact, no real problems with the phone, other than that I hated the UI/UX compared to TouchID. There probably are individual lemon phones out there, given the rush to get production started and then get the volume up, but the basic phone is very reliable based on my experience. I just didn't like using it, which is a different issue.
I've been building software for 30 years. After reading your comments, I can only conclude you've been writing software for 0 years.
You seem to expect Apple to continually create new, bug-free software on the first go.
And yet you're saying what their capabilities and skills ought to be. You've listed how long they've been at this and where they ought to be by this point. You're quite critical about their output. You have expectations for them that aren't being met.
I've never done brain surgery. I'm not a doctor or surgeon. But I don't go around finding medical type forums so I can pretend to know more than actual brain surgeons. I don't criticize their work, their methods or their philosophy. I don't try to inform them about how to avoid certain side effects or how they might shave 20 minutes off that surgery. They know what they're doing, I don't. I leave it at that.
So why is everyone suddenly an arm-chair programmer? Everyone has an opinion of what Apple is doing wrong and how to fix it despite having no practical experience or knowledge.
If you want to tell me how much you dislike iOS and why, that's fine. But if you're going to tell me what their programmers should be doing 10 years into this, you're just going to get a laugh from my end. That's the very definition of an "uninformed opinion".
Yes, that company. But one area I want to give Apple credit for, is how quickly they actually can release an update for something that needs to be addressed. Not always is that the case, but I do give them credit for releasing an update for something within a week if it’s a glitch or problem that needs to be rectified sooner than later. Where Android could take signicsntly longer.
