Nah, iOS 14.8 is super polished in comparison. I would let iOS 15 mature a bit more before offering it to my friends and family.
Unlock with Apple Watch now working on my 13 Pro Max!!
It does not, hopefully iOS 15.1 will fix this. I did read that 15.1 beta 2 had a fix for this but I cannot confirm that.
Probably just not published yet. Looks like it is the IPSW is not available yet.
Where do you find those? Can't find them on the "Release" section of the dev center.
Good to know but it may still not be available on itunes. Another source doesn't show it either.
I've never seen this before where it isn't available in iTunes. I prefer to update over iTunes even though it might not make much of a difference. What would the reason for this be?
IPSW is being signed now so it should show up on iTunes
I will need to do that too at some point.
Can you confirm that if you do this (turn off iCloud Photos on the phone, delete all the locally saved photos, and re-enable) won't delete anything from iCloud Photos? Won't it somehow "cache" the fact that I deleted the photos while it was off, and then upload the changes to iCloud?
You're right - it's there now. Thanks!
While I'm at it, my impression has always been that updating via iTunes actually swaps out the entire OS for the new one, whereas the OTA updates only patch it. Is this still true? Or does it really not matter which method you use?
Yes, OTA is a patch while IPSW is the full firmware. I’ve always went with IPSW regardless what version it is. I’ve experienced less issues with IPSW than OTA.
Safari quicker again? App Store update page still hanging? anything actually been fixed apart from the Apple Watch bug? 🤦♂️😂
My phone is on charge, don't want to check and end up being disappointed. 😂
You will definitely want to make sure your library is fully synced before turning it off, but once you've turned iCloud Photos on a device, any changes you make on that device will not be synced to the cloud — I had Photos open on my MacBook Air and did a couple of small batch deletions on my iPhone after turning off cloud syncing as a test, just in case, but nothing changed in the cloud version of the library.
I did a direct transfer, and it did indeed transfer the full-quality versions of most items in my iCloud Photos library; not sure how widespread this behavior is, though (1 or 2 reports does not a trend make).
