iOS 9.3 'Most Stable New Release in Years', Says Analytics Firm

I've had no problems with 9.3 on my iPhone 6. It's been better so far than any previous version I've run.

This is a joke, right? I'm going on Day 6 of my iPhone being unusable due to the links bug.

It's not a 9.3 bug, but a 9.x bug, it happened to people who had 9.2 also. It still sucks that it doesn't get fixed, though. Fortunately, this happens only on my iPad, not on my iPhone.

edit: I've told you again this in another thread. :p

Wait, where I am now? C*****a?
Oh, I cannot agree with this TBH. I do experience an unknown springboard crash while Listening to music.
Cool.
 
Overall mine works fine. But if I get nitpicky there's still some jerky motions in some of the transitions. It's still not as smooth as the last iOS 8 version.
 
Umm this is misleading. The analytics are based on apps running the firms analytics tool.

Its like saying windows 10 is the most stable software release ever cause google is keeping track of chrome crashes via Google analytics......and Chrome has crashed less than under windows 8.1

Apple is not using Apteligent, app developers are.

Only Apple has data that would show which of their releases have been the most stable.

It's the lowest crash rate because when user go to click the link to report crashes the browser crashes thus artificially reports lower report.
Nope. I'm still on iOS 8.4.1 and I hardly crash at all.

Too bad the article does not explain what crash rate actually means. Does it mean that if you use your phone 100 times, it will crash 2.2 times?

Also: "Apple's new iOS also beat the latest version of Android, which had a reported crash rate of approximately 2.6 percent." Wait... what?! We have to be happy now that an iPhone crashes 0.4% less than android phones? I assumed that was already the case by a much larger difference. Apparently not.

(Not easy to write this comment on my crashing iPad, which is barely usable since the horrible deep web link bug that appeared last weekend)
 
One of the major reasons why I'll be letting my iPhone 5S stay on iOS 9.3.x. for the rest of its lifespan. iOS 9.3 introduced all these new features and really ironed out a lot of UI lag and weird stuttering. Haven't run into any bugs or trouble so far, and battery life is the same as 9.2.1. Very pleased with it. (and it should be after 7 betas)

I also see no reason to update to iOS 10 once it arrives. Probably gonna be plenty of bugs until 10.2/10.3, not to mention the new OS lagging the A7 processor in my phone and make it slower than its current performance. #slowdownforolderdevicesisreal
 
Over 80,000 people have visited the Apple support page on the hyperlink issue thread. This is a representation of only a portion of the people with the problem. Not everyone goes to the Apple support forums.
 
Lol...
I this is the first time I can't use my iPhone in a regular fashion... Can't click on any links in mail and I can't use safari at all.. Luckily there are other browsers.. (Even though clicking doesn't work there either just force touch to open a tab)
Worst update ever (and I had every iPhone since day one)...
This article clearly shows how to numbers can skew everything.. Maybe my phone doesn't crash... But it's unusable

Doesn't mean all those viewers are having an issue either. I am tempted to go to that page and check it out but I am not seeing any issues and am wondering if I am doing something wrong.
 
Now if we could just get Safari to recognize that it IS connected to the internet and that the web page IS valid and does not need to be reloaded, both of which make using it frustrating at least. So maybe 9.3 has the least crashes, but I would not say it was the most pleasing.

Is it just me or will iOS 10 be a no-show at WWDC this year? I'd figure the features in 9.3 would've been great key features if they held them out for just a few more months.

Seriously? I don't see any big feature, let alone "great". Nighshift is nice, the rest is of little interest. Hopefully iOS 10 will offer much more relevant and impressive new features.

It's very doubtful that there's a large number of looky-loos. The vast majority of the people don't go to the support page unless they have a problem. Yes, all agreed it will be a small amount that would go that don't have the problem, but we're still talking tens of thousands of people that have this issue. And these are only the ones that have gone to the support page for Apple

What a stupid comment. Apple has hundreds of millions of customers using iOS and it would be impossible to put out a version that works 100% for every single user. Even if only 1% of users are having a problem that's still millions of customers, but at the end of the day there's nothing you can do about that. Every device is unique, with different apps and services running, everyone uses their devices in different ways. That inevitably means that 101 things can and will go wrong. Apple patches what they can but it would be impossible to find out every single problem and push out a fix for it.

Fortunately I don't have any of these issues that people seem to be complaining about on the web, the same goes for the hundreds of millions of customers who aren't making a song and dance about it. The minority seem to shout the loudest and it amplifies. The figures speak for themselves, plus I seem to recall Craig Federighi saying recently that things have gotten better according to their own data. Just because one person has a problem and they feel entitled to have it fixed right there and then doesn't mean they speak for iOS and every user as a whole.

So where's the walled garden utility? One subject designs hardware and define specs. The same subject designs software and defines limits. The same subject define rules for ALL any other who may want to interfere. The same subjects set rules for providers, users (yes, you can't do whatever you want with your phone), developers etc.
By the way, do you really believe an high Apple executive is going to say that everything got worse?. Federighi is the same one claiming that iTunes is not that bad, only minor adjustments are needed. Coupled with Eddy Cue, sigh....

was about to reply with the same answer, even if you are still on 9.2 the booking app would have caused this issue.
