I wish Apple had never given the fast home button in the first place. What's experienced cannot be un-experienced.Or, alternately, it took them 39 builds to get the functionality working as expected.

Don't mind, this is all just lighthearted, but we forum members would probably consider as a Christmas present that occasion when the home button delay issue stops getting raised every new thread.
While a lot of us feel it to be a bug, a bug, for all Apple cares, is something that is not working as "they" expect it to. It is clear that Apple intends the home button to work this way in iOS 11, therefore, stands to reason that it will most likely never be resolved for those amongst us who have had the pleasure to experience a near-instant home button on iOS 10.
Nothing can be done about it.
Got a tip for us?

They will fix it when the X sales drop (closer to their next iOS release). Then we start all over again. Lol.
That is true. Fortunately-unfortunately, when I got my 7 this July, it came with iOS 10, and I was on iOS 10 for only as long as it took to go through the initial setup, after which I restored iOS 11 beta on it. So, never experienced the iOS 10 button to get a hang of it and feel a difference with iOS 11. Maybe good for me, because if I had, I would have felt really mad as well, considering this phone will be with me for some years and I will be updating it to any future iOS updates.
Even with the same speed home button as IOS 10, the X just flows so nicely. The UI is just so quick to get around compared to home button iPhones.
I was hoping you were going to chime in. You seem to have the best understanding of build numbers.
Apple finetune their latest ios to tun perfectly only on the newest iPhone so its not a shocker to me that the X is much more zippy on ios 11 and will run it like a champ.
Looking at this latest 6s benchmark news reports its clear Apple just doesn’t feel its worth the resources to spend time optimising for the older iPhones. Hence that “lack of polish” feeling on older iPhones when compared to the version they shipped with.
It is what it is. Either keep the device on the older ios version or get a newer once each year. That old Android saying “Buy the device for what it is today, not what it will become tomorrow” is my philosophy for ios as well. Once I get the X, I will not be upgrading to 12. I will enjoy it on ios 11.

Yeah even when I used it at the store, I loved the gestures. Everything seemed instantaneous and smooth with no delays anywhere.
I bet ios 12 will still manage to ruin one aspect of it though.
Cant wait for mine to come tomorrow

He is talking about the home button action response on X. That home bar is instant like how the iPhone 7 button was on ios 10.
"Month 13 is out of bounds" error is still present in this release. I doubt we will see a fix for this issue before the New Year but who knows anymore.
The funny thing is that the iPhone 8 Plus has the same internals as the X, yet it performs like the 7 Plus (on my experience).
Ah, I get it now. The swipe gesture. I was confused at the mention of the phrase 'home button' for the X.
[doublepost=1513191938][/doublepost]Also, about the month 13, I do think it is out of our bounds, so iOS throwing up the error 'month 13 out of bounds' seems about alright.
They never had a chance to fix it properly since 11.2 was emergency released to somehow circumvent it and 11.2.1 was already in the works.
If they knew ahead of time I'd imagine they would've fixed it well in advance to reduce the impact.
Well then I think they are taking a gamble that Month 13 issue will not happen on the New Year

Questions for the macrumors community:
Have their been more bug-fix updates to iOS 11 (in number and in frequency) since its general release in September than there were during the same period after iOS 10 was officially released?
It *feels* like there have been more bug fix releases, and like there have been more bugs affecting stability, speed, and battery life.
I might be misremembering the earliest months of iOS 10 as being better than they really were.
But it really feels to me like iOS 11 was a more ambitious upgrade over iOS 10 than the average upgrade from one major version of iOS to the next, like the developers initially focused more on packing new functionality into iOS 11 than on optimizing the code for stability and battery life.
But it's totally possible I'm remembering the earliest months of iOS 10 through rose-colored glasses.
What do you think? Are updates to iOS 11 more frequent because iOS 11 has more issues because iOS 11 was a more ambitious upgrade over iOS 10?

There were six updates to iOS 10 by this date last year, compared to eight for iOS 11.
Weather Widget still not updated correctly.
In sync after a restart until 21:00 local time and after 21:00 out of sync.
21:10 in sync - Seems like every 10 minutes the widget is being updated and not when you swipe right.

This point in 2016, iOS 10 had 6 updates (5 if you don't count 10.0.1) while this year iOS 11 has 7. iOS 10.2 was released on Dec 12th last year. It's pretty close but iOS 11 has more updates.
I think the difference in perception is not about the objective amount of updates (iOS 11 has one or two more for the same period of time) but that when iOS 10 was released that version wasn't considered as unstable as iOS 11 at release. That gave people the perception (which is not wrong at all) that iOS 11 updates were needed for it to be usable, in the case of iOS 10 the updates were received as additions to an overall good OS. At least that's what I believe.
