i thought they would have fixed the missing activity badge issue by now and released 12.0.1 and fix whatever else is important in 12.0.2, etc.

Bug fixes are probably treated differently. They probably began development on 12.0.1 once the GM was seeded to the new phones, so-mid August. No sense in starting a bug fix until you know what the latest build will be. 12.1 on the other-hand probably started months ago.

Not that this guy is the authority but apparently there is an issue and it must be software related.

Thats referring to the iPhone X though, Dan is complaining about his Max screen. There were a few threads floating around about people noticing a change in their X screen right after updating. I foresee an update fixing that, but not changing the tint of a Max screen.

For the record my XS screen is about perfect in my eyes. So I don't know how they would isolate "good" displays from "bad" or iOS 12 affected ones.

I’ve honestly seen zero difference on my X between iOS 11 and 12, I know for some people upgrading to iOS 12 enabled the increase contrast setting when it was previously turned off, this happened on my sisters iPhone 7 Plus.

Probably why 12.0.1 is taking longer than expected.

so its probably next week if its taking longer then expected. who knows what else they are fixing at this point outside of what has already been mentioned on this thread. or they are running into issues with getting things fixed.

Well, on the other hand, is there really an "expected" when it comes to something like that, especially when we are talking about the last update coming out just last week?

Yeah but the point was to the quote of "Apple isn’t messing with screen calibrations with iOS updates.". So apparently they can and do according to that article. Even if it was referring to the X. Who knows though, could be a handful of faulty screens or glue or whatever affecting a certain run of devices. OR could be a software calibration issue that could be addressed later via iOS. Maybe the XsMs2 will fix it with a new OLED+s screen :)

Yes. Since iOS 7 it’s been the week after the public release. So there is now an “expectation” on our part for Apple to deliver small bug fixes shortly after the public release of a X.0 builds.

I totally get where you are coming from, but I feel like an iOS update messing up screen calibration is a giant can of worms going forward. Doesn’t sound fun.. My primary concern is those with screens that don’t want it to be changed in anyway.

I just can't see how Apple could even send out an update that would affect screen calibration given that no 2 displays are identical and to be properly calibrated like Apple devices have been for many years, each device has to be individually calibrated.
