As the thread says, I can confirm this bug, the answer: 24 :( iOS 11 must be the buggiest piece of s I've ever tried. Stuck animations, apps that take ages to load, widgets not working, more stuck animations, text overlapping everywhere. Related: Flat design was supposed to make things leaner... EDIT: Worst of all, every single operation is wrong: 7+8+9 = 96 4+5+6 = 60

I got 24 sometimes and 6 the other times. Possibly a race condition?

I really like my iphone because the hardware is so damn reliable. I haven't had my iphone 6 fail on me in over 2 years. It's also pretty tough, I treat it like crap and it still works.

The software definitely blows.

Does anyone know of another smartphone brand where the hardware is close to being as good as the iphone?

As soon as I upgraded my 6s to 11, I saw performance seriously degrade. It takes -seconds- to bring up the iMessage editor. My immediate thought was that Apple had liberally sprinkled wait() into the iOS 11 code base so that I'd feel like my ole A9 CPU just wasn't cutting it any more and I'd realize, as they do, it's time to upgrade. Or... maybe they are running every key stroke through the new Azure-enabled Cray com…

The typing on iOS 11 in all apps is absolutely abysmal. What the hell is going on?

Ugh, can also confirm this happens on my phone. This feels like more of UI event/timing issue than a logic issue. Also, if this turns out to be a performance based bug that will be pretty frustrating considering Apple is always bragging about how they build the hardware, the software, have grand-central dispatch, have Metal and have multi-core custom built CPUs...yada, yada. It’s not just that number sequence...it’s…

btw, has anyone has tried deleting a note in Reminders?

My first smartphone, an iPhone, slowed to a crawl after some OS update about 2 years in. It's the last piece of Apple hardware I ever bought. The 3 non-Apple smartphones I've bought since then were all perfectly usable after 2 years.
