   iOS 11.0.2 Fixes iPhone 8 Crackling

   Josh Centers

   Apple has released iOS 11.0.2, this time with actual release notes! The
   update fixes crackling noises during phone calls on the iPhone 8 and
   iPhone 8 Plus. (Apparently, making phone calls isn't a common enough
   iPhone activity for Apple to have caught this problem in testing.)

   iOS 11.0.2 also addresses a bug that could cause photos to become
   hidden and fixes another that could prevent you from opening
   attachments in encrypted email messages.

   Surprisingly, this is the second iOS update in a row that [2]doesn't
   include any security fixes.

   You can get the iOS 11.0.2 update, which is roughly 275 MB, in Settings
   > General > Software Update or via iTunes. We haven't heard of any
   reason to avoid it, but it's also sufficiently targeted that most
   people who don't have an iPhone 8 can install at their leisure.
