Got a tip for us?

Let's get one thing straight, Apple software quality is no where as good as it used to be!

And Windows doesn’t nag you to use OneDrive? Android doesn’t nag you to use Gmail or Gdrive? It’s nothing new, and it’s not like they do it daily, basically, it happens when you set up your iPhone, enter certain apps for the first time, that’s it.
Also, if you think iOS 7 was better than iOS 15, you’re remembering only the good things 😊 Apple’s software is ok and iOS 15 is good. And I‘d like to see One UI 4 run on a 4 year old Samsung Phone. If they get the update at all, that is.
You’re using a different iOS than I am. My 13 pro on 15.1 beta three runs like a dream.
Yes, they do. See post 118 please.
To be fair here, if Apple is going to support hardware then they should at least release software that runs well on all supported hardware, animations included. Otherwise you have some dissatisfied customers. And when that happens all hell breaks loose and you get people starting useless threads like this one.
They have a mess. Random animation lags on iOS, play next in music randomly not working (been doing this since 13?), music stops playing, airplay lag, safari freezes after video is done on airplay.
Watchos- broken now playing music controls, notifications go off on phone & watch (phone notification comes first then watch 30 seconds later), messages showing unread message received days ago.
Heck just rn the ATV aerial screen saver froze lol never had that happen before.

It's a difficult needle to thread: if you give people the option of downgrading to an old iOS, you suddenly need to support backporting security updates to all those older OS versions to keep users safe. If you require users to update to get the latest security fixes, you run the risk of putting a strain on old hardware that makes the devices less usable.
Apple's had devices they've updated too far for the hardware (e.g. the iPad 2/Mini getting iOS 9) and times they've held updates back without good reason (e.g. the original iPad getting capped at iOS 5 while the 3GS got iOS 6), but in the current era they seem to be getting the balance better. I have an iPhone 5S which was dropped from major updates with iOS 13, but Apple has still been regularly pushing security updates for iOS 12 (last one was less than a month ago!) despite the 5S being an 8 year-old phone. Other than a very old battery, it's a perfectly usable device!
If they keep with this LTS-style model of support for old devices (i.e. discontinuing major updates that the device can't handle but keeping up minor patches for another 2-3 versions), I'd say that's about the best I could hope for.
Oh. Okay.
Well, that is your experience. Mine has been different (of course, I have not used an iPhone 8 in a few years. I cannot speak to what iOS 15 is like on it). iOS 15 on the 13 Pro has been great for me so far.
But, hey... thanks for coming here to announce your departure. Best of luck in your future endeavors...
Yea but you're in a way saying..
Apple can change their device support for only a year, for example. That way there wont be "dissatisfied customers" who's devices aren't peaking with current software on ancient hardware. Would love to see the reaction if they did that.
Let's not even start the conversation about whether their 5 year old iPhone would even perform 100% on its original software at that point.
The expectations that is placed on Apple by some people is so ridiculous.
"err why don't they make the lowest end 2015 phone operate as well as the 2021 max phone?"
jesus.. this thread xD

OP needs to switch to a 5-year old Samsung phone to make a fair comparison
But only apple is anti-ad. Google is in the business of advertising. No one should be surprised they want to show you ads. Tim is the biggest hypocrite.
I took a break from betas. I am still seeing issues (long term) and a bunch of newer ones.
It gets tiring.
This with 14.8 is new and a result of the CSAM pushback most likely. Up until now, unless your device did not support the new OS version, you got nagged or stealth installed.

Apple is anti-tracking, anti-sharing your data and pro-privacy. They never implied they are anti-ad, no company is. In fact, Apple prides itself in its marketing and the way one product motivates the sales of other products. They are very open about this.
You may dislike your iPhone prompting you to use Apple Music (once) - but they never claimed they are anti-ad. But they are anti-tracking and pro-privacy and I don’t see how they are hypocritical in this regard.
Good luck with Google.
Well 15.1 fixes a lot of issues. Not installing it because it's a beta makes no sense.
It may be new, but that doesn't negate the fact that it's there. These details matter because not everybody around here is as knowledgable.
Well said. I've always thought Apple's methods of advertising have been very tasteful and unintrusive.
Had to chuckle at this.....A couple of weeks ago I was giving a presentation via Airplay to an AppleTV. 15 minutes in and a fullscreen ad for the AppleTV+ app/service covers the whole screen yet you could still hear the presentation audio playing. Only way to dismiss it was to dig out the AppleTV remote and press 'OK'....'unintrusive' indeed.
May not make sense to you however I elected to take a break for now. Aside, I suspect 15.1 will be out soon.
For now I’ll wait. Looks like work is sending me a 13PM sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Maybe then.
thx
Ohhhhh you lucky dog! I have an SE 2020 for work which I like just fine but if I could get a Max....May not make sense to you however I elected to take a break for now. Aside, I suspect 15.1 will be out soon.

I think just about every version of iOS works as tended by July (10 months after it was initially released to the public.
There IS a way to avoid get hammered by undone versions iOS - don’t install it until July and don’t buy a new iPhone until Spring or Summer

Now you can choose. Stay with iOS 14.x and you will only get security updates.
