The iOS11 Thread

Yeah tried everything it just does the restore but upon re-start it just says it needs to do it again. Spoke to Apple and they think its dead so need to take it to an Apple Store or send for repair. I got it from Very but have AppleCare but I doubt that matters.

Pain in the butt and means I will loose it for a while. Tbh I might just send it back to Very as faulty and get a refund as tbh I have lost interest now.
 
The chap on Apple support said that they have had a few similar instances with iPad Pro 10.5" stuck in a boot loop after restore....

Lesson learnt do not try Beta software. :-(
 
I fixed it... iTunes was trying to install the 10.3.2 version but manually downloading 10.3.3 and forcing it to use that it booted fine. You need 10.3.3 for the Pro 10.5" currently if downgrading from 11 for some reason.

It's working again now and I'm a happy Chappy again....

Closing apps on iOS is pointless unless it's crashed. Apple have even confirmed this themselves as they get put into a sleep mode.

I also never understand the fascination with trying the betas out as they're always riddled with bugs.

Apps stays running in the background. I don't want Facebook running in the background, using my location, consuming battery, consuming data.
 
You may be surprised. Check your battery utilisation of the last 24h and 7 days and see if it matches with your expectations.
 
The only app I bother about closing is Facebook because there was certainly a period a while ago where it was dreadfully battery hungry. I don't know about now but I've just got into the habit of closing both it and Messenger when I've finished with them.
 
The only time I ever close apps is if they crash or have problems. My battery life has been excellent since the latest iOS update. I remember some time ago where Facebook used to cane background activity but that appears to have been patched out now.

Somehow, it has become a part of mainstream culture for iPhone and iPad users to quit all their apps in multitasking as some kind of regular tech maintenance ritual to improve battery life or speed up the hardware. An understanding of how iOS multitasking works however, shows that this is completely unnecessary to close every app in the multitasking view frequently. A 9to5Mac reader decided to ask Tim Cook for an official stance on whether he quits all his apps and if it’s necessary. Although Cook didn’t answer, Apple iOS chief Craig Federighi did with an unambiguous answer ‘no and no’ …

In the email shared with 9to5Mac, Federighi jumps in to answer Caleb’s question. The message headers have been verified for legitimacy. This is the arguably the strongest opposition from Apple executives on record in reply to the ‘quit all your apps’ superstition; Apple’s official support pages say that force-quitting should only be used on a case-by-case basis when an app freezes or misbehaves.

Apple execs reply to customer emails from time to time on various issues. At least in public, this is the first time we have seen Craig Federighi intervene and reply to an email sent to Tim Cook. Like other Apple exec emails sent to readers, Craig’s message is short but succinct. He answers the question as well as thanking Caleb for being an Apple customer.

Why does quitting all your apps have no impact on iPhone battery life?

Quitting all your apps is clearly not supposed to be a thing, as it involves laboriously swiping up on tens to hundreds of individual app windows in the multitasking view. On a technical level, most of the apps are either frozen in RAM or not running at all, the system just displays them as a history for consistency. This is why the battery life impact is negligible.

Apps that do affect battery life are only things that actually do perform background operations, things like GPS navigation, background music playback and similar. However, you only really have these running when you are using them. As such, using force quit (swipe up gesture) should generally only be necessary when an app needs a hard reset as it has glitched or got stuck somehow.

Previously, 9to5Mac has reported on Tim Cook tipping Italian Siri ahead of time, how Eddy Cue rebutted anecdotes in Yukari Kane’s Apple book Haunted Empire, which suggested that Steve Jobs threw a pen at him amongst other instances. The emails from Apple execs phenomenon was most prevalent with Steve Jobs, who regularly replied to customer emails with short, curt, honest, responses on a variety of topics.

Yep, exactly the same here.

Until some other buggy app comes out. Facebook was actually being incredibly naughty and playing a silent sound so that iOS would keep it running in the background. Apps that resort to those shenanigans (and are too important for Apple to permanently ban) deserve the silent treatment, i.e. being swiped shut at the earliest chance. The last few updates of Spotify have been really bad on battery life as well. These things evolve as updates are released, so I don't find that "never swiping closed an app" is a correct point of view. In theory, maybe, in reality, no.

PS. Several Apple employees I've interacted with swipe everything shut, they actually laugh about it and say "this isn't the official thing, but I find it helps".
