people ask me all the time how to downgrade iOS because They Hate the new one.

when I tell them they can’t because they’ll deliberately be putting tons of vulns on their device the universal response is ‘ugh stop scaring me with your nerd poo poo I’ll be fine’.

a friend who works at IBM believes this, and he told me not to upgrade my phone to the new iOS

I just don’t know what to believe anymore

Edit: he says new update broke his iPad and he has to send it to Apple to fix

i saw a "study" that "proved" apple's sinister agenda by looking at google trends for "iphone slow" and noting it peaks every time a new iOS comes out (and then returns to the same baseline as before within a couple days)

if anyone cared you could easily do direct comparisons of boot times, load times, and ui interactions between every major update on the same hardware.

i suspect you could also fairly trivially determine what is causing any differences in responsiveness.

also, doesn't ios end up re-indexing content after major upgrades? meaning performance is noticeably worse immediately after an upgrade, and then returns to normal after a couple days?

major release tends to have some performance bugs that get addressed in point releases. and they are usually felt more on older devices.

iOS 7 was bad for multiple reasons. but they’ve walked most of those back or fixed them.

this was really stupid. but the stark, sharp, thin font, blurry layers of ios7 was garbage. it’s taken a long time to tone it down to a pleasant interface again.

I find ios11 to be way too much on the side of "plain black text on plain white fields" and it's p boring tbh

i remember being quite excited for the big ios7 overhaul but you look at screenshots and it hasn't really aged particularly well ngl. it's been moderated quite nicely, although there is still too much loving white in every app

i really don't like the music app/podcasts app now playing screen and i can't really articulate why, but it's probably something to do with this. am i the only person who actually quite liked itunes/music app taking on the dominant colour of the art of the currently selected album? it hosed up a fair bit but it did look nice, and i never had any trouble reading it.

hmmm it's either the whiteness or that the bouncy animation on the now playing screen feels ever so slightly laggy on my iphone 6. gently caress knows

it's p much the X internally

so if you want to keep touchid and don't care about a slightly less good camera get the 8
if you want to keep touchid and want the same camera as the X, get the 8 hugephone

i like my 8 :shobon:
