I feel like people are just throwing waffles at each other for no other reason than for entertainment values. Lol
- Is this the worse iOS released? Well, matter of factly it IS the only iOS to have an update pulled and users instructed how to downgrade. Like actually walked through how to downgrade their iOS. Take that for whatever value you want. It is the first to do that. Yes, other iOS had their fair share of issues but truthfully none of them had a downgrade written out for them. Not by any users, but by the big company itself. That's a bit embarrassing no matter how much makeup you put on it. So, iOS will go down as the first major iOS to be released and then advised to downgrade after it's first update.
- The ever so commonly heard "you didn't install it correctly." Pretty slim pickings how to install an iOS. I could see messing up an OS X install. But there are two ways to install any iOS. OTA or via ITunes. No real customization options. Users installed it fine, but different hardware = different issues. No one computer is exactly the same out of the box. Stop using this excuse to validate arguments since it's just plain ridiculous in any way possible.
- "it's working on mine, therefore you're either lying or being overly dramatic about problems". So old, so silly. Just because YOU, yourself are breezing through life without any problems doesn't mean the next person is. Trying to argue about how perfectly the iOS is for you against Joe Schmoe who has bricked their phone is just nutso talk. Like, serious mental capabilities are missing saying things like this. I personally downgraded to 7.1.2 to make my 5c run smoothly, but I have friends who had no issues with the same phone and even my partner had no issues that couldn't be fixed. Yet I also had friends who also had as many issues as I did. Just accept some phones are having issues and some phones do not. It's not that difficult of concept to comprehend unless you're five years old, which some of you truly sound like you are and doing some kindergarten type argument.
- and my favorite of all time "it works fine on 6 and 6+ so you should've gotten one to use iOS 8!" I wanna say this is a joke statement. iOS wasn't released just for one type of phone. It was releases for all. Apple has a history of being able to release something for a specific computer/iPhone. Did they do that with this? No. Therefore the logic should be that while yes, it's more optimized for the 6s it should still be optimized for earlier phones. End of discussion. It really wasn't and may eventually be done but this initial release isn't ideal for any phone. And let's not forget, zomg you seriously expect people to shell out a ton of $$$$ to get an incremental speed update and in this economy? Even Apple doesn't expect users to do this, so why should any one user use that frame of mind?
And let's face it, not everybody comes to these forums or any other support type sites including apples and not everybody will write about what great times they're having. So nobody knows just how many are or are not being affected. It could really only be 50 or, millions and millions. Nobody can call out how widespread problems are, nor their range of problems.
Hell, people thought bendgate was some huge problem (including a friend of mine who actually cancelled his order because of that), until Apple came out and said they'd only received like 8 or 9 reports of it. Then people realized all those photos circulating were pretty much the same ones. Yay for internet wildfires?
On the plus side, my friend did go out and get a 6 after apples report. Of course, just today he somehow managed to shatter the screen. No ideas how! But, maybe we should start in about how flimsy the 6s glass is!!!
