Anyone else feeling these latest updates are bit jammy

[FyerFyer]

Ive updated my iPhone 6s and MBP the last week and Im definitely noticing that the smoothness of my devices has decreased. The best thing I can compare it to is the issue of recording 4k to 1080 when filming moving objects that I also experienced/noticed this week.

Anyone else..?

Yes. The newer updates are decreasing the smoothness of all my iDevices. And over time battery is being decreased too, even with fresh batteries.

Have not noticed anything in particular neither with my iPad from 2017 nor my air from 2012. They still seem to perform equally well as with prior OS versions as far as I can tell.

I have completely opposite experience. My 6s is actually smoother than my 8 Plus. Everything on the 8 Plus is great until I pick up the 6s and immediately notice how everything just flies like butter.

I exchanged my Xs Max this week and immediately noticed the difference compared to my older one.. I def think that you just have to do full updates thru iTunes instead of the partial over the air updates. I think overtime. It makes a huge difference

So the wireless update is different to the ITunes update? Wow, what is the point in that..?

Jammy..... yes. I like it.

There's definitely something jammy going on and I think it has to do with Apple's hardware this year rather than iOS 12. As mentioned, older hardware seems to be doing great on iOS 12 while the most recent devices struggle.

More than a bit frustrating to say the least.

The point is that for years there have been morons whining about how Apple is just so evil for not providing delta updates via OTA on iOS. And now that there are, there are now morons whining about how dare Apple not have the same updates OTA as via the desktop.

So does that mean the two update s are different?

Again why would they do this? Does it make any logical sense?

Because morons whine about the size of updates. So Apple produces delta updates on mobile, same as they do on the desktop. These are smaller.

An iOS update through iTunes is always a complete OS replacement, and is therefore larger than a delta update.

Right ok, so does that mean the ITunes version is better? I’m assuming it’s smaller as it skips certain things..?
