iOS 8 not ready for iPhone 6 - here is proof

[vaultwit]

Ok. Go get an iPhone 5/5s that still has iOS 7 on it and look at the status bar. It has the same thing. Status bar is bigger on the lockscreen. It is deliberate.

I just wish they would fix the push/notifications problems with mail and messages app.#

Having played with the iPhone 6 for a day it's somewhat clear that corners were cut to make the deadline. The most obvious example is staring you in the face every time you turn your screen on.

This is just the most obvious example as you can see that the actual iPhone 6 lock screen is not natively rendered for the iPhone 6. The lock screen features a scaled status bar.

this can also be easily seen in the camera app where UI elements are clearly scaled to fit the screen instead of having been rendered natively.

This is not an opinion. It is fact that Apple did not bother to present a finished product.

Take it whatever way you want. You probably don't even care. To me it's a telling sign that times have changed.

This is my favorite part of your opinion post.

You my friend live sad sad life... For ******* sake if some one does not like how iPhone 6 home screen looks don't bother buying it then... and stop bitching about stuff thats not important...

Maybe Apple intentionally made it like that, did you ever thought about that?

Do you sit around looking for this kind of stuff?

I feel sorry for you

My life is so much more enjoyable when I don't expect 100% perfection out of everyone.

I'm sure anyone could have found things wrong with any first public release of a new operating system. The things you have pointed do not impact how the device is used and 99.9% of users would not even notice or care about it.

Your "telling sign that times have changed" sure seems a lot less of an issue than some of the past "telling signs".

iPhone 4 antenna: Steve Jobs tried to talk his way out of this, but it was a bad design. If / when I held my phone 4 and bridged the antenna gap, I lost my data connection.

iOS 6 Maps app: talk about releasing something that was not ready.

It seems like the "faults" you have pointed out are telling signs that the problems are much smaller than they were in the past. Glad to see Apple is releasing a much better finished product.

Now, go back with your magnifying glass and see if you can find something else that is a telling sign that Apple is failing as a company.

 

[Jazper]

Yeah, because they made iOS 8 for the iPhone 5/5s and not the 6...

 

[matttye]

Scaled on my iPhone 5s too... I can't read this thread, it's making me cringe.

 

[JayLenochiniMac]

Having visited the new MacRumors forum for a day it's somewhat clear that corners were cut to make the deadline. The most obvious example is staring you in the face every time we visit the forum. It now features scaled page numbers!

This is not an opinion. It is fact that MacRumors did not bother to present a finished product.

Take it whatever way you want. You probably don't even care. To me it's a telling sign that this forum has gone down the crapper!

 

[OldMacDonald1]

Your memory doesn't serve you correctly. I have a 5s in front of me

Then it's your vision that needs correcting.

 

[mattroman246]

The clock position drives me crazy on the lock screen. It's further down than on my 5s

 

[ZBoater]

... It is fact that Apple did not bother to present a finished product.

Yeah. I can see it now. The Apple engineers sitting around the table saying "but boss, it's not finished yet!" And the boss said "release it! Don't bother."

Yeah, it happened exactly like that. I tell you, with that disregard for their customers they'll be lucky to sell 200 phones.

Oh, wait...

 

[shaunmed]

Erm. This is intentional to make the information in the status bar more glanceable on the lock screen.

yup, and try reading some of your e-mails.

How much is Samsung \ Microsoft paying you to go around and spread non-sence?

OP: next time you want to pass off misinformation as fact, at least take 30 seconds to research the facts. The only fact in your post is that the bar is scaled (which is the case on the 5s/5c and other devices as people have pointed out). So given that your perceived "problem" is non-unique to the iPhone 6 or even iOS 8, your entire claim that the OD isn't ready for the new iPhone fails even the most basic litmus test.

Just admit you hate iOS 8 and the new iPhone and be done with it. No need to pass off disinformation as fact...

[chrise2]

If a product has any bugs, it is obviously a complete failure.

 

[Bacong]

I mean, iOS 8 isn't what I'd call ready either, but it's not because of this. lmao @ OP.

Who the F cares?

This thread cracks me up.

 

[GrimmsGirl]

There is no scaling on iOS 7. This is false information.

OMG THIS IS NOT DELIBERATE LOL. Please stop being absurd apple apologists.

I swear people on this forum will go out of their way to use some ridiculous logic that a 12 year old would find offensive just to come up with excuses for apples fallbacks.

I installed iOS 8 on my iP5s and I'm seeing the same thing you are, so pretty sure this is deliberate. If there was scaling going on on the lock screen, wouldn't the camera icon be bigger than it is?
