iOS 16 Adoption Outpaces iOS 15 Adoption in First Two Days

[dysamoria]

"Flush Out" being bug fixes. an OS will never be 100% bug free but fix the major bugs plaguing the OS.

Nothing will be 100% bug-free because tech people believe that throwing out the strawman argument of “you’re asking for perfection” is good enough to maintain the social conditioning that keeps people thinking buggy garbage tech is a perfectly fine norm. The whole industry is trash. Some is just less trashy than others.

Ironically your phone will probably be hella slow by then 😂

And unsupported. Probably with a useless battery.

I remember iOS 8 and 11 were very buggy at first

…and iOS 7 was a pile of loose rocks with ugly paint. It’s been like this ever since.

Yup. I’m on 14.8 on my main phone, getting the 14p though so will be updating very soon. Suppose I will just have to deal with it. Not happy with it, but I can’t stay on this aging OS forever. I don’t use iCloud anymore since Apple implemented the scanning though. I don’t have anything to hide, I just don’t like anything about it including apple’s “but think of the children” BS reasoning.

Pretty ignorant comment honestly. If you have “nothing to hide” then it should not matter if it’s there or not. I’m sure if you were a parent that suffered through an experience Apple is trying to help with you’re attitude would change. You feel it’s an invasion or privacy. I get it. But the fact you use your phone means “they” can track you. You’ve given up the freedom of privacy the moment you used your phone. The only difference is you’re not targeted. So if you have “nothing to hide” then your issue with Apple is just flat out absurd.

Great update. I've found several bugs in this 0.0 update, but nothing serious. Most new "useful" features in a few years. IMO

I find new bugs in every version almost every week, no matter how old the OS is. I’m sick of it. I’ve reported every single thing and Apple don’t care.

The issues have built up, and almost nothing ever gets fixed. Now the overall experience is getting like when I used Windows PCs.

Especially irritating when basic functions don’t work reliably (can’t reliably delete iMessage attachments from any devices), and still-broken UI behaviors, like multiple-item selection interfaces still don’t exist in “edit” mode in various places around the OS.

Also keyboard behavior sucks, including random unwanted capitalization when swiping to type, corrections that create doubled words and extra spaces, “Replace” taps that do nothing at all (quick bar or context menu), the numerous gestures that conflict (especially between keyboard & control center, which they won’t fix because they’ve moved control center on the non-home-button versions and their ethos is to make you buy a more expensive phone and use FaceID), deleting individual Safari history items is even clumsier than on iOS 15 (the forced delay between swiping often results in triggering an item), and trying to post reviews in the App Store results in review edit screens closing without warning, posting, or saving what you’ve typed.

I could go on for paragraphs. I’ve reported everything. They just don’t care.

I'm on a 13 mini, battery life is really good, also no lags, everything works as it should. Just very few UI stutters but those will be gone with future updates. […]

Will they, though?

 

[dysamoria]

Nothing major trust me, i'm very perfectionist and very needy as in smooth things when it comes to UI. And it doesn't bother me at all. Stutters happens when i'm doing things too fast on the phone but overall is a very stable iOS

A computer/machine should not be slower than a human.

I don't remember iOS 7 being that bad for me when it first came out

iOS 15 / iOS 16 has no CSAM scanning. The only thing it contains is content warnings in iMessage:
- Cannot be enabled if the user is 13 or older
- Never sends notifications to any other user
- Does not block viewing the content

 

[ezekielelin]

It’s because I updated both of my parents phones while they weren’t looking.

Why would you do that on week one? If they want a new feature, show them how to update and get it. Otherwise, let the auto update take care of it in due course when it's been more battle-tested, or when 16.1 is released.

They both work nights and their phones are never charging at the right time.

I was planning to wait to upgrade to iOS 16 after the release of 16.1. However, I just got an Apple Watch Series 8 which requires iOS 16 in the iPhone to pair with the watch. So, I had to upgrade, or not be able to set up the new Watch for several days. I wonder how many people are not really early iOS 16 adopters by choice, but out of necessity like in my case. All in all I haven't had any issues with iOS 16 since I upgraded this afternoon. So, happy for now with the upgrade.

 

[Marshall73]

Been on iOS 16 since the first beta on my iPhone and iPad. Not been any showstopper bugs and now I’m on the public release on 16. Got my 14 pro max yesterday and synced my 13 pro max to it with zero issues. Ran the 16 update on the 14 pro max after it has set up. Think this has been my slickest upgrade yet.

Glad to hear it’s working well. My biggest issue recently with iOS updates has been keyboard lag. I test new major OS updates on my old XS Max. But I like to give them a few months to iron out the kinks for my daily driver.

Apple to Release iOS 16 Update Next Week With Fix for Excessive Copy and Paste Prompts and iPhone 14 Pro Issues

iOS 16 introduced a new privacy feature that requires apps to receive a user's permission before accessing their iPhone's clipboard to paste...

This is why I do what I do

 

[dandeco]

Not too surprised. Of course, I upgraded my 2nd-gen iPhone SE to iOS 16 after coming home from work the day it came out.

On the one hand some people are crying-out for more 'computer-like' features to properly exploit modern iDevices' hugely-powerful SoC's, then there's the reality that 'typically [we] see a solid jump [in new iOS adoption] when new emoji are added'.

It's no wonder we never get certain long-standing bugs fixed that have transcended multiple versions of iOS when this is the level we're at. SMH.
