This has nothing to do with the potential to brick devices. How would Wi-Fi prevent that?

This setting is just a catch-all because most updates are multiple hundreds of megabytes and Apple doesn't want it eating up people's dataplans followed by endless complaints.

Yes they should. The first phase of an iOS update is to download the entire update package. This cannot brick your device. It's the actual install that has a chance, not tendency, to cause your device issues.

By the way, my wifi is a cellular device, so I am effectively always updating via non-wifi.

It decreases the chance of corrupting the update itself, Especially for people who don't have good cellular service.

I have seen App updates fail to install more often when being download through spotty non-wifi connections. This same could happen to iOS updates as well.
 
Nice to finally see the News app in the UK! I've just set it all up on my iPhone, but then can't seem to sync my choices to the iPad...
Have toggled News in iCloud on/off, and restarted the iPad but still nothing.
Any hints?

I want to say that the tvOS GM build that was released today is not, in fact, final. Still no App Store.

Apple will need to flip a switch for people to see and use it. That should happen before they arrive to the waiting retail customers.
 
Just installed it on my 6. Not night or day but some small improvements. Feel apps openly slightly faster, Twitter app not giving black screen when opening (when not in task switcher), control centre has gotten less laggy for me anyway. No improvement with multitasking lag though. Still the odd annoying micro stutter on the home screen too. Not a massive improvement but makes my phone feel a bit more responsive.
 
Songs bought from iTunes during the Apple Music trial period still show as "Purchased" in the iOS iTunes app, meaning they are unavailable to play or download unless I pay for iTunes Match.

Complete bullcrap.

:mad:

But, hey! Taco emoji! SMH
 
Awesome!

Why did they not mention the new improved auto power saving mode. It reduces performance and increases lag to save power which result in longer battery life...
 
I know I've asked before and it seems there aren't many other users on the forum having the same issue but I'll give it another go. Does anyone know if this fixes the issues that some people are having with hidden wifi networks?

Maybe just give it a while. My iPhone News app picked up the favourites I'd picked on the iPad.
