I’ve created an account on HN just to talk about how bad iOS 11 has been.
I’ve tried iOS 11 on - a 6s plus, 7 plus (mine and a friend’s), 8 plus, an iPad Air 2. I have to experiment with quite a few devices for work related reasons. The 7 plus had the Intel variant.
The battery has been just bad, just horribly bad on all but one 8 plus.
I’ve never experienced such a poor quality update from Apple.
Apple is quite stubborn when it comes to UX choices, but the Wifi and Bluetooth toggle issue is just inexcusable. I have a great LTE plan but poor Wifi in the bedroom. One night, I forgot to turn off the Wifi from the settings app. I was habituated to toggling it on or off from control centre. I woke up in the morning and saw the battery had gone down by 30%. The device was at full charge at night. The phone kept trying to reconnect to the Wifi all night and ended up draining 30%.
I live with Apple’s design/UX choices which they force upon the users because it usually just works out in the end. But this is just stupid! I have never been this aggravated with an iOS update.
It’s silly changes for the sake of change. That’s it.
I’m so hopping mad right now with the update that I’m considering Android again. I do not want to pay premium prices for such horrible software quality.
I’ve no intention of buying any high end Android as they loose value quite fast. Maybe a cheap, sub 300 USD phone. I don’t care for updates at that price. I’ll just swap the phone every year if I want the update.
