| − | After the update to {{w|Apple Inc.|Apple's}} {{w|IOS_11#11.1|iOS 11.1}}, many (though not all) {{w|iPhone}} users suffered from a strange bug, where the {{w|autocorrection}} changed any input of the single lowercase letter "i" to either "A" or "!" followed by a space and a Unicode {{w|Variation Selectors (Unicode block)|variation selector 16}} (U+FE0F, on iOS displayed as a question mark in a square).<ref>http://www.loopinsight.com/2017/11/06/ios-bug-autocorrects-letter-i-to-a-plus-unicode-symbol-heres-a-workaround-and-a-clue-to-the-cause/?utm_source=loopinsight.com/twitter&utm_campaign=twitter&utm_medium=referral</ref> Using a {{w|Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character|replacement character}} to approximate this display, the result of typing "i took" might be "A � took" or "! � took". In a handwritten text, the "�" symbol could then be mistaken for a censored word. This problem also manifested as an "I" followed directly by the VS-16 "emojify character", turning them into an " �" without the "A".<ref>https://twitter.com/willkirkby/status/925865928193134593</ref>

| − | The codes in the title text refer to "A �" and "! �" respectively. The text provides a way to keep the "bug" active, (which can be realized through the use of a Cydia tweak) even after it is patched. This is a fairly silly concept, as not many people would need to type "A �" more than they would need to type "i".{{Citation needed}}

| − | The statement in the title text "no update can never take this away from you" is a {{w|Double negative|double negative}}, so it actually means "any update can take this away from you". This may be a typo.
