Just googled, found this... "Some reddit users claim that resetting their settings (Settings --> General ---> Reset --> Reset All Settings) fixed all of the app issues, while others have restored their devices and set it up as new to solve the problem. Others have backed up and restored and had better results." https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/25/ios-11-app-slowdowns-pe...

I did a backup and complete restore. It went from completely unusable to annoyingly usable. Still considering downgrading to 10.3

is it possible to downgrade to 10.3 ? I thought you can't do that anymore once you upgrade. I upgraded my old iPad to 10 and the experience is horrible. I wanted to downgrade back to iOS 9 but I can't find a way to do it.

I probably own more Apple devices than most people here (even considering this is HN we're talking about) because I do a lot of iOS programming and I have to use them as test devices. I also own the latest devices. But this problem is not some stupid complaint coming from uninformed people. This calculator thing was a perfect symbolism for all this bullshit that's been going on since iOS 11 release because the bug is…

I've been getting the camera black screen at least since ios9 on 5s and 6s.

Dude, it's Apple. Hold your tongue. ;)

Does nobody have a sense of humour or the ability to literally hold their tongue and say Apple?

People are talking about "lag" and performance, as if this was a "the system can't handle it!" issue. This is a misleading description. The actual issue is that some developer at Apple screwed up their animation configuration when implementing the calculator redesign, and nobody tested adding more than two numbers together quickly. Multiple failures, none involving system performance. What's happening is: the operato…

An even easier fix would be to drop the "Animate all the things!!!" mentality.

"on maybe the most popular mobile OS on earth" You can't be the most popular if your competitor's market share is ~85%. https://www.idc.com/promo/smartphone-market-share/os

You can if you mean "most popular" in terms of customer satisfaction - http://www.theacsi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=art...

In the USA, which is a pretty small part of the Earth, and where iOS has 45% of the market, compared to 15% worldwide.

Let's just be frank: If Jobs was in charge, everyone that remotely touched that app would pulled into a room, berated and told how fucking dumb they are, and told to pack their shit and find another job. Remember, he was obsessive about the first calculator app and hand-tuned it to his liking, so it's not hyperbole to suggest that he would be fucking livvid.

Are you a programmer? If so, is not getting yelled at what motivates you to write good software?

Apple does not seem to test a lot these days...

or they test, find bugs and decide they're not worth fixing...

Sure, it was just an example of how "most popular" might have nothing to do with market share at all.

A really important element of WhatsApp's global success is that they had a Java ME app for featurephones. US-centric competitors would only support iOS and Android, whereas WhatsApp was running on the hundreds of millions of 2003-2010 vintage Nokia/Samsung featurephones that were in daily use in India, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc. That is also part of UX. When it comes to messaging apps, Snapchat is one extreme of the sp…

> cryptic UI, teen-oriented These things go hand-in-hand by the way. And that's not a complaint, it's just funny how "only teens bother to figure this out" can be an honest-to-goodness feature under specific circumstances. Especially if you (basically) need to be "introduced" to a program and all of its quirks through your friends.

I hated it at first, but I've come to really appreciate being able to swipe around through almost all the screens, vs. having to stretch across my phone to hit menus on the far corners in other apps
