iOS 11.2 Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[atlchamp]

This is what pops up when I do that on my iPhone X.

Keep holding down the power button

Maybe you dont care enough if you have little lag. Its not the same . Tested on 7,6s,5se. Little lag is always present.

I’d say that Dom C is the best judge of how well his device is working.

Battery life is pretty decent with auto brightness

“Little lag” typically happens on devices over two years old. Not quite sure what caring enough about it has anything to do with it. I’m not expecting my 6s to match the speeds of an 8 or a X.

Weather widget STILL displays the wrong temp......like the calculator bug how the hell does this garbage get past testing?

Force restart your phone and the weather widget will work

Its not about the speed. Its about smoothness. Two different things.

Had the same issue and solved it by resetting as new and deleting all content on my X. Now the widget works. Neither hard reset, force restart nor reboot worked.

Same thing Im wondering.
My iPhone 7 Plus runs great on 10.3.3, I wonder if I should go for 11.2?
Is battery ok and runs smooth without bugs or other issues?

Careful. This question should come with a trigger warning.

Its not about the speed. Its about smoothness. Two different things.

You used the term “lag” in your post, which is defined as “comparative slowness” and alludes to time.

But since we are now talking about “smoothness”, my iPhone 6s is as smooth on 11.2 as it was on 10.3.3.

 

[AZhappyjack]

Dont update unless you like the new features. Your phone (will) MAY be laggy for sure ( older phones like 7, 6s, 5se ). It will never be as smooth as 10.3.3


I dont know why 7 is laggy. 6s was released with 9 and 10 is perfect. Iphone 7 was released with 10 and should be perfect with 11. Ios 11 is crap.

Again, there are many factors. Sure, your phone might lag, or, as in my case, it might not. I have a 7+ and my wife has a 6S+, both running iOS 11.2... and neither of us are experiencing lag or stuttering. But, as is often said, YMMV... my experience with iOS 11.x, especially 11.2 is quite good.

Why no watchOS 4.2?

Apple finally added album art for songs without an album cover. Previously it was showing an empty gray box. This has been a bug since iOS 10.

So far 11.2 has been smooth for me also. iPhone 7.

They finally fixed an iOS 11 bug involving checkboxes in Notes (which I won't go into, but bugged me greatly)!

For me, epubs now only open in iBooks, no option to "Open in" anywhere else. Super not helpful for my use case. Managed to get lucky that my "Marvin" ebook reader let me open a book from Box cloud storage, otherwise, I can't Airdrop ebooks like I have for years. PDF's seem to still have "Open in", but epubs are now forcing iBooks usage (I can't stand iBooks).

Otherwise 11.2 seems okay. Just a big impact for how I transfer epub files now.

Bummer. $1000 phones really should work.

That’s not an answer. The point is for stuff to work with having to restart all the time. I guess these devices really are becoming like computers of the past.

Really? We have to go through all that for a damn widget to work?!

Sad

And computers of the present.

Restored my phone as new in iTunes and no bugs like weather widget, settings search bug etc... Did a backup to iCloud 1. ofc.

Why no watchOS 4.2?

It will most likely be out early this week. Since iOS 11.2 was pushed out early due to the Dec 2 bug, the iPhone update came out first... watchOS will be here, too.

 

[Susurs]

On 11.2 there is some stutter here an there for my X , some second long delay on various things ... Therefore, I’d say that the general system performance is quite worse than on 11.1 for me...
‘Nice’ job, Apple... again...

Did you get any acknowledgment from Apple of this issue when you reported the bug?

Tests for iOS 11.2 vs iOS 10.3.3 are in. This certainly doesn't show 5s to be faster on iOS 11 than iOS 10. iOS 10 is quite a bit faster. In particular iOS 11 gets demolished in the bootup test

[doublepost=1512382979][/doublepost]Conclusion from the tester.

So no surprise here. Although iOS 11.2 boots faster it has not caught up to the boot speed of iOS 10.3.3. All benchmark tests are in favour of iOS 10.3.3. So if speed is important to you, do not upgrade. But it is a tough call for sure. If you are on 5s or 6 you should think twice before upgrading.

 

[axari]

I disagree, at least on my 6s. iOS 11.2 running about the same for me as 10.3.3.

In no way am I defending Apple for how bad 11.0 was, however I will give them credit for fixing the major issues that made me want to throw my iPhone into a cement mixer.

Better late than never.

I agree. 11.2 seems much better than previous 11 version, but its not stabler like 10.3.3
