I went into Settings on my iPhone 5, and Smart Punctuation wasn't there. I guess this means that it is only available on iOS11, in which case anyone who like me has an iPhone 5 or earlier, and is therefore still running iOS10, is not affected by this Apple bug.

The story does say "a bug in iOS 11".
