Important Warning: Avoid Updating iPhone 8 and 8 Plus to iOS 11.0 Point 2
If you're an iPhone 8 or 8 plus owner, there's something important to know before updating to iOS 11.0 point 2. The latest software update has been released by Apple, but some users have reported several issues that could affect your device's performance and functionality.
One of the most significant concerns is related to battery life. According to the iPhone 8 owner who recorded a time-lapse video showcasing the issue, when the phone was plugged into fast charging, it would drop from 86% to 83% in just five minutes. This might seem like a minor issue, but it's still a cause for concern, especially considering that fast charging is a paid feature on these devices.
However, this isn't the only issue with battery life. When using the standard cable that comes with your iPhone 8, you may experience another problem. According to the same user, when plugging in their phone overnight at around 15-20% charge, they would wake up to find that it was only charging by 25-30% after six hours or eight hours of sleep. This issue can be frustrating and might lead some users to believe that their iPhone is faulty.
There's also a bug related to the standard cable that causes the percentage on the battery display to not show the correct charge level. This problem is likely caused by a software issue rather than a hardware fault, which means that it could be fixed with an update or a restart of the device. However, this can still cause inconvenience for users who may need to take their devices to the Apple store only to find out that there's no problem with them.
The user emphasizes that this information is important and should not be shared unnecessarily, as it may lead to unnecessary calls to Apple support or visits to the store. Instead, they encourage iPhone 8 and 8 plus owners to stay away from updating to iOS 11.0 point 2 until further updates have been released.
In contrast, other iPhone models such as iPhone 7, 6s, and 5s are not affected by these issues, according to the user who tested them. They plan to continue testing their battery performance on the iPhone 8 device after updating to iOS 11.0 point 2, which will help determine whether the battery life improves or remains the same.
Overall, if you're an iPhone 8 or 8 plus owner, it's recommended that you exercise caution before updating to iOS 11.0 point 2 until further updates have been released.
