Apple's iOS 8 Crisis Continues With New Update Controversy
The iOS 8 horror show doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon. Just days after Apple released the vital iOS 8.1.1 update, a patch it meticulously tested with developers for over two weeks, a fresh outbreak of complaints and bug reports has occurred.
Signs that problems were brewing came with reader comments on my original Forbes’ iOS 8.1.1 release story.
AJ DO commented that “iOS 8.1.1 does absolutely nothing to fix bugs or improve performance” while Bill Johnson remarked that “So far….it didn’t help the WiFi problem. Still need to put it in the freezer to get 10 minutes out of the wifi.” Continuing the theme, fellow Forbes contributor Jim Gorzelany said “Still can’t get my 4S back on wi-fi–this is nonsense.”
In addition reader rhonin noted that, while iOS 8.1.1 had fixed some issues, it had introduced others: “Safari seems smoother but now I have a bug with the copy/define not wanting to turn off… Wifi seems better but looks like it pushes the 5 band and dumps the 2 band. Mini 2 runs hot on games that it didn’t before.”
These concerns are mirrored elsewhere. The official Apple Support Communities board has a number of new threads with users pointing out issues after installing iOS 8.1.1 and the famous ‘iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems’ thread which has been around since the original launch of iOS 8 is now 82 pages long.
Despite this there is light at the end of the tunnel because for many users iOS 8.1.1 has indeed fixed their previous problems. The rather joyful ‘Ios 8.1.1 makes me love my iPad again’ thread is predominantly filled with happy users and there is arguably an equal number of satisfied owners posting as dissatisfied.
Consequently I would still advise all iPhone and iPad users who have already installed a version of iOS 8 to upgrade to iOS 8.1.1.
