iOS 11 sucks. It makes the games I'm trying to play during bathroom breaks run like trash and heat up my phone. It's a loving 7 plus, there's like one more year till the planned obsolescence.

update I had to log out and back into iTunes on the phone and everything reappeared

iTunes so fucjijg bad

I once filed a bug against iTunes for some similar issue and an iTunes engineer told me to log out and log back in again, which fixed my problem. I asked him why, since iTunes knew there was a problem, couldn’t it just do wherever it was logging out and back in again accomplished without making the user have to do it. naturally the response was a blank stare as if logging out and back in is a perfectly valid and normal thing that users are supposed to do and he couldn’t comprehend the concept of doing anything other than throwing out a mysterious error and making them struggle to figure it out.

iTunes is staffed by morons and is a flaming piece of poo poo. most Apple employees learn pretty quickly that filing bugs against iTunes is pointless because they never get fixed. they disappear into a void where you can’t see them and assigned to a robot and no one ever looks at them.

this is the same company that decided that when iOS grasps on to the slightest remnant of a wifi signal for dear life instead of figuring out smoke signals would be faster and switching to LTE, you can now manually disconnect from that wifi while keeping wifi on. you'd think a device with enough processing power to run the space program could figure out that these packets just aren't gonna show up no matter how long you wait, but nope.

they’ve always been flunkies. iTunes is not part of the software engineering org, they are their own division, what used to be the iTunes org. they are very bad at making software and there’s nobody in their leadership that is competent enough to make the changes needed to do it right.

software made by the itunes org:
iTunes
podcasts.app
the App Store app
music.app

notice that this list has an extremely high correlation with the list of the worst software that Apple makes.

can the cell network provide pricing details for data to help make that decision? ex: this is a business plan, go whole hog or this guy has 200mb left, maybe take it easy.

the problem is really that WiFi has no real link management. all enterprise level routers do some huge hacks to make sure your phone successfully works while transitioning between access points and selects the right AP to bind to.

I wouldn't even say its that. its more that wifi link quality is subjective. someone may be ok w/ shoddy wifi if it means they don't have to use cell data where I would rather use cell data if its faster regardless of wifi quality

carriers all have plans that charge differently, including on a per-packet-destination basis, differently per packet over the course of a billing period, or with an amortized price that can't be plausibly calculated without accounting data for the billing period to date

and even if the phone like nightly or hourly fetched the bill to date and made decisions based on that, somebody well-connected/noisy who decides to stream video for two hours and blow through the cheap data part of their plan is going to make it into a big PR shitfest involving the hardware vendor before the carrier

it’s not just subjective, it’s impossible to quantify and predict. your phone doesn’t know when a request is sent out whether it’s taking forever because of network congestion or slow servers or if your WiFi router just didn’t get that packet. if you walk into a dead spot for a second your phone needs to be able to retry without immediately giving up and going to cellular, or you will find that your phone is constantly doing that.

seems like the ability to warn the user proactively and/or give them the option to automatically prioritize their data would be well received, but idk I never think about cell data.
