That's not even true, many iOS updates bring a lot of optimisation - it's the upgrading between these updates (without doing a fresh install) that introduces bugs like this one.

Exactly, fresh installs are the best.
the delta updating functionally that was introduced a couple of versions ago definitely wasn’t the blessing people made it out to be.

Meh, no different than updating through iTunes which was the method prior to true OTAs with iOS 5. Sure they weren't deltas but it wasn't a fresh install either.

Are you sure? Because when updating thru iTunes, it always downloads the entire software, not just the parts that have changed...

You've obviouusl never used an iOS device for longer than a year. I Tried that with my iPhone 4. It was bad enough that most of the apps wouldn't update. What was worse ways that I couldn't install a lot of new apps that required a more recent version of iOS. It turned out to be s pretty useless idea. I gave in and updated eventually

I owned the iPhone 4 and then the 4s. I should've stayed with whatever iOS it had out of the box. IOS 6 started killing the battery and iOS 7 was super crap. Laggy and stuttery.

Now I have Android. The issues with new apps requiring iOS version x.x is an issue with iOS.

Android has no such requirements. A guy with Android version 4.0 or 2.3 can run the same version of apps that I'm running on 4.4.2. We are all running the same version of Google Play Services and that is what developers need to run their apps. Regardless of the OS version.

If you look at the Play Store and choose an app, the app lists 0 requirements. There are no such things. It just installs.

Doesn't matter.

I erased my phone. Hooked it up to iTunes. Downloaded the entire almost 1GB iOS. Installed as new. Reloaded all my apps from scratch. Etc etc. None of it mattered.

YOU need to do something. Battery life on my 6+is ace. Just go into settings, usage, battery usage to discover what is using the most power. Also bear in mind that using your phone in a weak signal area will eat up the battery too.

Just how do you get battery life like this?? By the time my battery dies I won't be near the battery life you're getting on your end. Not to mention I always put my phone on airplane mode when connected to WiFi and still nowhere near as yours. Gold 128GB 6 Plus here.

I have an iPhone 6+ silver 64GB on O2 in the UK. I never turn off Bluetooth,wifi or put it in flight mode (unless I'm on a plane ).

I have 5 exchange accounts on push and my iCloud account. All email accounts have notifications on. I also have Paper running for Facebook stuff. I run Xbox One Smartglass to chat with a couple of Windows phone friends and iMessage for 90% of the rest.

I use safari, a lot and have background app updates on for the majority of apps that use it.

Brightness is on auto but the start point is set to about a third.

I listen to music on my Bluetooth headset and I make about 20 hours of calls per month.

Whenever I'm at home im connected to a new model Time capsule with AC wifi. Other than that it's on 3G (no 4G around here, apart from parts of Edinburgh.)

Yeah, but it's not erasing your entire phone before it loads the software. It's an update, not a restore.
