Just in case you were wondering why your iPhone/iPad keeps restarting today.

Looks like Mike was right all along.

Yeah bit of a balls up that.

Doesn't impact me because I have sensibly held off updating to iOS11 till the bugs are sorted *smug*

Apple Pay update.. not that I use it.

I like it. Often have my phone more accessible than a card so it's handy.

Drac according to Mac Rumours you would have to wait till after 12:15 local time and have apps which send repeat reminders (I don’t have any of those anyway)

I signed ip to Appe Pay - never used it in anger as first time I tried it was rejected as card attached was not accepted by the shop. It’s quite useful as you get a notification every time the attached card is used - almost immediate

My iphone no longer turns off via the physical button at top of device.

Everything else seems to work without a hitch - camera, mail, music, browser, apps. So just a bit crap?*

*Tip: always update yr IOS late, if at all 😉

This thread reminded me to set up Apple Pay on my phone and having just come back from the shops I think it’s amazing. Smartphones are amazing, the future looks incredible.

We have two I-Phones, an I-Pad and a Mac, all of which work superbly. We also have a laptop running Windows which is a pile of steaming plop.

You can register multiple cards. I have my Barclaycard (Visa) and NatWest card (Visa Debit). It's quite nice as it has a little graphic of each card that you flick through to find the one you want.

Following suggestions regarding leaving the OS update until 11.2 was released, that’s what I did, in fact about an hour ago. I had no unwanted shutdowns on eith my iPad Pro or my iP6+, and as far as I know, that issue only affected a few users anyway.

No wait, it’s not a Samsung. Never mind esoteric software glitches, now that was a real fault... 😉

Well my iPhone has been screwed up since the update I did 3 days ago. Home button stopped working, can’t get to home page unless I switch it right off and on again and then the first thing I select won’t turn off. I don’t know what to do 🙁

Well quick workaround fix is to turn on Assistive Touch in the Accessibility menu in Settings. That'll give you an on screen home button.

Longer term: I'd try a full backup in iTunes then complete reset and restore.

I see that the Apple Pay cash thing is US only 🙁

BUT!

you can now delete old boarding passes without opening each one and flipping it over. I was waiting for that, so just deleted 3 years worth in a couple of minutes. Little things ...

I’m not bashing people who buy iPhones but I will bash apple.
Given how huge they are and how much money they have surely everything they do should be 100% perfect all of the time.
Do the people who **** up get sacked?
I’m sure if a security guard left the big important door at apple hq open he would be out on his ear.
I don’t see how someone who left the front door open on the world’s computers can ever be allowed near a computer again.

My old smashed up six (with hd phone socket) is almost back to its pre OS11 levels of performance.

Isn't it common knowledge that Apple is just a tax avoidance company that also makes phones?

Samsung’s revenue is significantly higher.

Shit happens.

Yes
There was a news story a few weeks ago about one of the developers whose daughter took a picture of his dev iPhoneX. He got sacked after she put it on FB...
