It’s the bug that doesn’t want to go away. This year’s iPhone launch and subsequent events make one thing clear. Apple’s got a lot on its plate. From iPhone X supply problems to iOS 11 bugs, problems are here to stay. A particular iOS 11 bug has been with us since July. The earliest betas of the software completely bypassed the purpose of iCloud and activation locks. Apple’s known for its security features, particularly ones that allow users to lock stolen iPhones. Without the right credentials, these devices are practically worthless. Unless they’re running an iOS 11 beta of course. Take a look below to find out more.

It’s only been a little while since Apple rolled out iOS 11.1. Cupertino’s latest software iteration is vastly different from its predecessors. It makes important changes and is designed to facilitate the iPhone X and Face ID. But iOS 11 is far from perfect. One particular problem, the notorious ‘Activation Lock Bug’ is still with us it seems, even though Apple’s had plenty of time to work with it.
