iOS 11.1 Beta 4 Bug Fixes, Changes and Improvements

Double pressing to home button to leave multitasking is actually faster than pressing the home button once...

Just tap anywhere on the blurred background to leave multi tasking. Thats the fastest way. I personally use the 3DT gesture for opening app switcher. The home button has a 1 second delay on leaving and oepning.

Ouch!! How so?

Also, kindly suggest me some great alternative.. I feel Readdle spams a lot, otherwise I could consider Spark, since especially it now has deeper integration with OmniFocus that I use.

I think we have now reached a manic point. The delay that irks some of us here, we are prepared to alter how we use our phones because of it? To the point of concentrating on the phone so much to use two thumbs and all that? Wow.

And no, the delay is not so much that acting on the phone using two thumbs will be faster than one press from one thumb.

Just my opinion. Don't flame.

It is faster. Try it out for yourself. Open the app switcher and press the home button. See how long it takes to leave. Then try it again by just tapping the blurred background. Instant. Even the double tap method is faster than the home button.

I was just playing with the Moto G5s the other day and even that phone was snappier than my iPhone because of instant home button response. Turn off the animations and that phone slaughtered my iPhone 7 in responsiveness.

Already tried all this and more. It makes zero difference. Its a laggy piece of crap on iOS 11

Since homebutton delay bug seem still present, this cant be the GM version. Apple have to fix this, otherwise its proof for planned obsolescence so that iPhone X gestures seem to be faster than homebutton in product tests.

Until now iOs 11 is a complete mess. Instead they should have made iOS 10.4

This does not look like its going to be fixed. A classic way to show how the home button is slower than gerstures and with all iPhones losing the home button next year, you can bet Apple will drop the home button iphones like a sack of potatoes.

Apple knows about the YouTube speed tests and in them the iPhone X will go to home screen instantly after each app launch while you can add 1 second to that time for the iPhone 8. Guess which is the fastest?

Can someone please check if the heic bug for burst shot is still there?

If the camera settings is in High Efficiency (.heic), when taking burst shots, it is save as jpeg. While taking one photo saves as .heic.

Burst Shots should be in .heic as well!

I tried this, having stayed out of all the threads/comments on the home button delay, as I didn't notice it. However, you gave such an easy comparison test I thought I'd give it a go.

Touching the blurred area is pretty much instant, as you say. Pressing the home button is nowhere near a 1s delay though, I actually timed it . It's about 1/3 s and doesn't bother me. iPhone 6S.

Well, excuse me.

I'll have you know that my wife left me yesterday while I was at work. She took the kids, the car, and a fistful of money. She left behind a note- you wanna know what the note said?

"Sorry honey. Things just aren't working. Home button takes .2 seconds too long to respond. Just created a MacRumors account to complain, see you there. It's been fun."

You tried very hard. Humor has to come naturally.

I just timed that particular delay using my iPad stopwatch and it came to 0.78 seconds on my iPhone 7 Plus. Pretty much around 1 second or so.

I’m on a 7, and the delay is clearly longer with one press than double pressing.

I’m not going to change how I use it. I’m annoyed by it because I think it only takes a few versions of this type of programming that subconsciously make people think they need a new phone - which I think is immoral

Edit: I don’t think it is immoral. It IS immoral.
Marketing faster processors and better performing software, and then deliberately reducing the capabilities advertised is, if happening, disgusting and just about justifies a lawsuit

Battery life seems to be a tiny bit better on my 6s.

Isn't the home button an issue with the 8 and 8+ as well?

Snapchat and Tinder (yeah yeah, I know) just don’t like to work with this beta. Crashes and freezes galore.

I can’t check that for myself.

Apple Pay Cash. In the wallet app, when you tap on the (i) button underneath the Apple Pay Cash card you can request a statement under the transactions view. The statement is sent via email.

I don’t have an Apple Pay Cash Card in the Wallet app. Does anyone else?

Dud How is the 11.1 performance on ipad 10.5

Seems to be pretty good so far. The Amazon app was updated yesterday and now rotation to landscape works.
[doublepost=1508681295][/doublepost]

Amazon app is updated with a fix for this.

Got it, thanks.

HEIC is an abomination. Sure, the file size is smaller and the quality is at least consistent with PNG... but there's no way to edit those files in any of the mainstream photo editor programs...I have a 256GB iPhone, so I am not overly concerned about storage space. I turned the new formats off.

This is a typical Apple move under Tim Cook... make the change (good or bad) and screw what happens, long before the world is ready for it.

.78 seconds is not one second any more than it’s .5 second. On my i7 the delay was .25 or imperceptible.

Disgusting and justifies a law suit? Over the top maybe?

With 0.78 seconds its still nearer to 1 second and feels like a 1 second delay. Also thats just the app switcher delay. The home button delay is worse.

You guys want to keep your debate on the touch ID lag to the thread dedicated to that topic???

I’m talking about the “home button delay”. And .78 seconds is just that.

It doesnt matter anyway. The difference between 0 seconds(iOS 10) and 0.78 seconds (iOS 11) is huge.Imagine if every time you single click on an icon it took 0.78 seconds to select.

But it doesn’t and neither does my home button. Enough said.

There are plenty of people on this sub forum who are having this issue which means home button lag factually exists. Open and close 5 apps and its an almost 5 second delay right there. With 20 apps its running into minutes.You may not experience it or have any issue with it but I do.

Anyone else’s AirPods stop showing last location in find my iPhone? Haven’t unpaired and repaired yet. Just curious.
