I emailed Steve Jobs once. I was getting frustrated because my dad was testing an app I was developing and he always reported problems that had been fixed. I would find that the app was never up to date on my dad's iPhone. To my surprise, Steve replied about 40 minutes later:

Steve,

When is auto app update coming to iOS?

Every time I check my dad's iPhone, he has 37 apps that need to be updated.

Thanks,

David

It's a bad idea security-wise.

Isn’t this an option now?

That reminds me I should check and see if that is turned in for my mom. She always has tons of apps needing to be updated.

am i dumb if i dont get it ? mind explaining ?

"Safari seems snappier" is a bit of a meme around these parts dating back ages. Typically after an OS update, someone invariably posts "Safari seems snappier". At first, it was probably a legit subjective observation. Then it turned into a thing.

With that history in mind, it's quite remarkable that there is actually a "Safari is snappier" article posted.

Wow, that's epic! You could print that on a poster and put it up on your lounge room wall. Or sell the NFT for millions :D
 
Thank goodness! We need this update. Let’s go!!!

Craig Federighi may have listened to me and working on it based on the email I sent him on November 3rd. Over a month ago.

Love it. I'll give you massive credit for helping teach me one thing that I'm trying to change my life. I am far too negative, and want to become more positive. I chatted w my sales friend (the type who could sell ice to eskimo), and said, I am in awe of your sales skills, I wish I could have a fraction of it. She replied, Sideshow, you're an engineer, your job is to find fault in everything, and fix it. I'm a salesperson, my job is the find the good in everything, and sell it. It was an interesting revelation, and made me feel much better about myself and my skills. However, I still wanted to become more positive (without destroying the engineering critique skills). Reading all your posts, has been a full on lesson in massive, unwavering, positivity. Thanks for that. And love your letter, and the way it is written.
 
How was it not working correctly on such a major, first-party app? I don't understand how these flush-with-cash companies manage to mess up things like this.
Yep, the hardware team at Apple is killing it, whilst the software team holds Apple back. They needed a clean out years ago. The M1 machines are absolutely brilliant. The software that runs in them is a bug fest sh*te storm. Why???
 
Now that's just too far. Have you been trolling us with sarcasm all this time?
Why would I troll when Craig managed to reply to my email?

It’s all facts and based on reality. As consumers we have a right to speak.

With 11.6.1 and 12.0.1 performance introduced a major problem that 11.6.2 and 12.1 have both fixed. Affinity Suite was basically unusable with their 1.10.4 updates before these latest point and point.point releases. Performance has returned and not surprising that it's improved with this next beta.
 
I def. see an improvement in fluidity, but what I'm seeing now is something similar to screen tearing or judder. When I engage the trackpad to scroll from idle is when I notice this kind of jerkiness, along with severe smearing of text at the beginning of the motion. I'm comparing this to my iPad Pro mini LED and that def. looks smoother and is more consistent.
 
I absolutely hate this trend from Apple in the last few years. Sell machines where major parts are NOT working as sold. Wait a few months for software to catch up. Ah. Machine now works as sold.
New machine coming out soon... rinse and repeat...

Hardware cannot have bugs, software can. Imagine how that works out priority-wise during corporate planning.

Never buy the first model of a redesigned Apple product. Let other people spend their hard-earned thousands to be Apple’s unpaid QC test subjects.
Well, I enjoy every moment with my new M1 Max. It helps me do things that traditional laptop won't while I'm traveling, at the airport, or on the airplane and try to finish my project before it lands.
I spent $4,800 on it and it saves $80/month in electricity. I claim tax on business expenses on it and basically get it for free. 100% worth it.
 
Just here for the obligatory safari feels snappier comments ;)
 
Same here with safari still keeping at 60 fps. Unless it defaults to 60 when not scrolling to save battery. But when I still scroll it doesn't feel like 120 fps, or rather, it kind of does, but doesn't seem consistent.
What am I missing? I did update to 12.2 beta now.

It’s a problem with the Testufo website.

Testufo cannot recognise Safari running at 120Hz. It reports the same on iPhone 13 Pros & iPad Pro’s with ProMotion.

However, it USED to report the correct refresh rate in Safari on macOS. But not anymore.
