Back button control press is delayed
The bug
If you press the back button control, the button only activates after a delay.
This is because any press below a certain point is interrupted by the iOS Control Center and only happens if the controls are at the bottom of the screen.
See the attached screenshot for an explanation.
This only affects Apple users in iOS 11.0 or later.

Same problem on the iPhone5s.. I hope they are fix this next update..
UP UP...
Still a problem with Minecraft 1.4.3 on iPhone SE running iOS 11.4.
Still a problem with Minecraft 1.6.2 on iPhone SE running iOS 12.0.
Still an issue on iPhone 7 using Minecraft 1.7.0 with iOS 12.0.1
I just tried disabling the control center access within apps but it didn’t change the behavior in Minecraft moving backwards. Seems that this needs to be fixed in the app code
Another update, this issue also exists on iPad mini 2 with iOS 12.0.1 even with the new location of control center in iOS 12 for the iPad.
This is fixed for me with Minecraft version 1.8.0.
