Is it just me, or does it feel like iOS quality control has been slowly slipping each generation? Guess perhaps the scale makes it unmanageable.
Yes. My wife is an Apple fangirl still so I’ve made it a point to screenshot every little bug I run into, to send her so that she can see for herself. The platform is becoming hot garbage.
There are issues with individual apps like the Maps app, giving me the fucking walking time when I’m driving. The iMessage app is also pretty terrible, constantly freezing in longer threads of “parental requests” from the kiddos phones. Sometimes the iMessage app completely shits the bed and restarting the app doesn’t work, I need to restart the phone.
Other times it’s weird shit… like the phone gets stuck between two transitions, so I see my lock screen on top of my Home Screen.
I’m constantly finding myself trying to work around bullshit with iPhones.
I’d be fine with that, if it were a Linux phone that I could independently fix and contribute to. Such a thing does not exist. So instead, we must deal with the shortcomings of profit driven walled garden monopolies that feel they know better what’s best for you and your hardware, despite their lack of care for QA.
