iPhone 6s running 9.3: 35.2MB
There are also lots of us who DO know about development (and, more importantly, release cycles) who know that companies ship software way too prematurely, with documented problems.
I've been complaining about tab thumbnails since I first started using iPhone 6s/iOS 9. Your example is new to me, though. Usually what I see are out of date thumbnails. On both of my iOS 9.x devices (iPhone 6s and iPad Pro 12.9"). I've reported it to both feedback pages at Apple.com. No update has yet fixed it. The app thumbnails sometimes do the same thing when task switching. Am I seriously the ONLY person seeing this?????
Then we can just throw out the baby because the bath water is killing it. Seriously, when are technology fetishists going to stop and recognize that this industry is the absolute worst ever in the history of industries? The fundamental nature of software is that it's inherently broken. At least, that's what the apologists are effectively telling us.
NOT a solution in any way. I didn't update from iOS 6.x to anything newer until buying a new device. I skipped iOS 7 and 8 entirely. I get to iOS 9 to find the whole OS is a mess. Waiting only made the differences more extreme to me (while everyone else was already on their sled, riding the slippery slope to the bottom, getting used to Apple software quality going to crap). The GUI is trash (which I knew about already, and is why I refused to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 7), the battery consumption is greater/faster, the fine details are all a mess, I've had to report about 60 usability issues and bugs to Apple (with no measure of guarantee that they even read the submissions)... It's a mess. Waiting just made it clearer how everyone else has become complacent and desensitized to crap by way of riding the constant update train.
I am in full agreement with the guy(?) posting about wanting to see Apple halt all feature development for at least a year. You mock him but he's totally right. Have a little ambition in the area of mature software development. All this constant "you don't understand the nature of software" apologetics is just indoctrinated BS. If capitalism in the USA wasn't so screwed up, companies wouldn't be constantly pressured (by Wall Street) to release a "new" product every six months. If you want to push back on someone for unreasonable expectations, send pushback commentary to your corporate overlords on Wall Street, the Apple board of directors, and any shareholders you might know. This industry had a short reprieve when the iPhone first started and things got a LOT better than they had been for a long time, but that brief golden age is over, dead, and went largely unnoticed by all the people clamoring for change-for-the-sake-of-change new product.
Gods have nothing to do with it. Thank Apple, since they did the actual work.
