No one says bugs didn't exist before.

It's the incredibly stupid and embarrassing bugs, hardware defects, and delays after delays for product launches. All of these have increased in frequency since WFH.

Before COVID, only the most disciplined and valuable members of the work force were given permission by employers to work from home. After COVID, everyone got to work from home. What could possibly go wrong?
If that's the case, Apple could have just swept the lazy and unproductive workers and only hire the best of the best that can productively work from home.
 
For a product that sells in the millions, I'm not surprised if there are few lemons in there. Personally, I've found the the right formula for when to buy a new iPhone is 6 months after launch. My iPhone X is a testament to that. My 6s while good still has some issues.
 
What about if I don’t use those three mentioned apps?
According to Appleinsider....

While the problem manifests with third-party apps, it doesn't seem to occur when using the default camera app included in iOS 16. This may indicate that there could be a software problem that needs to be addressed by the apps in how they communicate and work with the camera module.

Work from home quality. This is probably the first iPhone to be developed mostly during Covid.

Now we know why Cook is adamant about workers returning to the office. "Working" from the beach is over. Tim Cook has all the data on the lack of productivity and employee disengagement. Macrumors forum posters that claim they know how to run Apple better are not smarter than Tim Cook.

I'm skipping the iPhone 14 and probably also the iPhone 15. I'll buy the iPhone 16 because it'll be the first iPhone designed and produced with workers in the office.
hwo did you even come to that conclusion ?
So are you saying you know betetr than Quality and reliability engineers that worked on this ?

I’d wait at least until the end of august.

The article implies that returning the phone for a replacement addressed the problem. And if you don't work in tech and you've never worked remotely, you probably shouldn't be talking about the experience.
 
This always happens with this kind of cheap phones!. Oh, you mean a top of the innovation chain device from a trillion dollar company was not tested due to its revolutionary new features?. Sorry, don’t use your new phone. Buy a Chinese phone, oh sorry, they are banned just because.
Mistakes do happen, it is impossible to make a product with 0 defects. I don't think any one has made products with zero defects.
Space shuttles some times malfunction.
 
the past two years are not impressing me. Apple needs to step back and take a couple years off and reflect on what made them great innovators to begin with. The economy is bad enough people don’t need new devices every year. It is ludicrous.
Apple never expects customers to buy new iPhone, MacBook pro every year.
they expect people using iPhone 11 to upgrade to iPhone 14.
 
I mean, that is nuts if a software bug potentially causes a hardware defect that can only be fixed by exchanging the phone. Couldn’t be happier that I haven’t upgraded this time around, the amount of issues with this new release is no fun.
If there is no rattle when taking pictures using iOS software then i assume it can be fixed by software.

What products were delayed by Apple ?
did you ever thought the delay can be due to supply chain issues, COVID Lockdowns in China, factory shutdown due to power shortages, TSMC is the only chip manufacturer with most advanced manufacturing process ?
it is easy to come to conclusions by taking a guess.
 
GOOD MORNING!

For what it's worth, I had this issue too with the Snapchat application.

I was trying to show Jony Ive how good of a job we did without him this year and as soon as I opened Snapchat to boast to him, my 14 P camera went nuts. It stopped after restarting the app though.

Quality workmanship on these iPhones! I was probably just holding it wrong.

Are you sure you want it if they're not happy to be there?

Since we're all doing speculation, I would guess the small design teams have been meeting in person, and if this is affected by Covid in any way it's probably more so that Apple employees have not been in China as much as usual.

That's if it's affected by Covid. It could just be typical Apple secrecy where no teams are allowed to talk to each other completely so the final product at the end is affected by unforeseen issues between hardware and software because they literally don't let the hardware and software people talk to each other which all but makes certain there will be unforeseen issues . . . because they want it to be unforeseen. Which makes me wonder why being in person is so important. They don't want people talking that much anyway.
