iOS 11 bugs are so common they now appear in Apple ads

If you blink during Apple’s latest iPhone ad, you might miss a weird little animation bug. It’s right at the end of a slickly produced commercial, where the text from an iMessage escapes the animated bubble it’s supposed to stay inside. It’s a minor issue and easy to brush off, but the fact it’s captured in such a high profile ad just further highlights Apple’s many bugs in iOS 11.

It’s easy to dismiss all of these small problems because they’re not the types of Apple security bugs that have hit the headlines recently, but they all add up to a frustrating experience at times. Chris Pirillo has been documenting iOS animation bugs for years now, highlighting the many bugs that have sneaked into iOS recently. “iOS has been performing in an inexplicably jarring manner since iOS 7,” says Pirillo in an open letter to Apple’s software engineering chief Craig Federighi. “Iterations don’t seem to help much, major or minor. Frame drops are now par for the course — irritations that we once slammed Android for.”
