Apple iOS 11.0.3 update available, fixes iPhone 7 haptic feedback, iPhone 6s screen servic...
Apple has issued a third update to iOS 11, with the latest fix sorting out haptics and audio on some iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices, plus one involving non-genuine display replacement on the iPhone 6s.
It is not clear what was the root cause of the iPhone 7 family issue, nor how prevalent it was. The iPhone 6s-specific fixes a condition where an iPhone 6s would be rendered non-responsive if fixed with a third-party display.
Apple has appended an unusual note to the update, saying that third party displays may have "compromised visual quality" and may fail to work correctly. The company goes on to remind users that repairs should be done by Apple to guarantee installation materials and repair skill.
The update, weighing in at about 279MB, appears to be limited to the two fixes, much the same way that the prior two sub-point updates were restricted in scope.
On Monday, Apple released beta 2 of iOS 11.1. It is unclear if the fixes issued on Wednesday are included in that update.

Still also have the issue where it won't play the audio I played last when connected to a car or reconnecting headphones, between apple music and podcasts it's like a random number generator. Once I even pressed the earpod remote to pause a podcast, and music started playing instead.

As far as battery life , my newish 5SE is terrible on battery, so is my wife's 5S. I have two colleagues at work - one with 5SE ( we both like the smaller iPhones) and one with a 7, and they have had no apparent issues with battery life.
It seems from my very small sample size that is only some ( small percentage? iPhones that are suffering - I hope Apple fixes it soon. Im holding out for an X, ( I know its big but Apple are no likely to offer an X-mini anytime ever..
Are you using HomeKit? I’m trying to figure out why some are affected more than others. Back in iOS 10 I notice battery life took a bit of a hit when I started to use it.
But this change going to ios11 is ridiculous to drain this much without being used at all over night.
battery life will get sorted - I have a variety of iPads including a pro - and I have not suffered battery experiences. -
I think we all want to see a perfect product out of the gate. It's frustrating when it's not. I personally think the poster is trying improve Apple QC in their own way. Bringing attention to their own frustration to the masses through speculation of what they may not be doing right.
you are right, it likely is speculation.
That’s about 1/10 the size of the OS...
Does it also cure cancer?
I read that Apple let many employees testing iPhone X. This is just a rudimentary way. You need dedicated testers. They will use a list or a chart to cover all the known uses.
