Bug fixes.

I don't have enough free space to get it and I'm sick of keep deleting games for them to bring an update out soon after I install one.

Connect your phone to iTunes. It'll charge it as a bonus.

Thank ****, downloading it now. My 4s has been rubbish since iOS 8, hope it sorts it. It does actually say bug fixes for 4 s on the update headline, fingers crossed.

Geezer

What about people who don't have a computer? More and more people will just have a tablet or phone.

They delete a game and install the update. It's not that big an issue and you won't find an operating system that doesn't need space to update.

Geezer

It does if deleting the game loses your progress. Besides, if, like my daughter, your iPad is full of rubbish, but not rubbish to her, she would have to delete an awful lot of stuff.

Of course, you are quite correct that any OS upgrade needs space, but iOS updates do seem unnecessarily large, especially as Apple charge the earth for higher storage models and don't give the option of adding extra space.

It's poor. I don't have to attach my phone to anything to update it. Biggest update I have seen is about 500mb, which is both manageable in terms of download times and keeping free space.

Can you Jailbreak that one yet?

JackClark

I think this update was 30mb. And as mentioned nothing has to be deleted from a full phone if you connect to iTunes, if the game saves and "rubbish" is that important finding a computer won't be hard.

Geezer

30mb, ok, fine, but iOS 8 was 5GB. "Finding a computer", come on, that's rubbish and you know it.

JackClark

My mother has my old iPad, she's never owned a computer, taking me out of the equation I can think of at least 5 people who could help her within the hour should she manage to fill 65gb with photos of cats she can't bring herself to delete.

Geezer

But that is the issue, you shouldn't have to rely on others. It should just work, as Apple like to say. However, it won't, without outside help.

JackClark

You're just being argumentative. There are three options, 1) you make enough space, not difficult. 2) You connect to iTunes, incredibly easy. 3) sell your iPhone and get an Android device, you don't have to worry about updates for long.

Well, I can report after a couple of days.. No difference! bugs still bugging me, email still snarling and the 'email received tone' stutters and/or comes in seconds after it should, clicking links on web pages half of the time now has no visual indication the link has been pressed, going back on safari results in the previous page briefly appearing, then the current page coming back before finally ending back on the previous page you wanted. Address bar at the top merges over web pages. Zooming in and scrolling as page loads results in zooming out and page movement on it's own.

All since IOS 8.

And before anyone says it, I even cleared nearly everything off my phone and that didn't help, I even done a total restore of the phone on my PC.

I wish I could go back to iOS 7

And before I get told I'm unique.. My girlfriend's 5 is the same and my mate's 6+ does the same stuff too.

JackClark

Must be the air where you live. None of that here on a 5s and 6+

How did I know that was coming.

Go on, tell us a fault with your iPhone!

JackClark

The camera sticks out a bit. It's annoying.

You can get cream for that

It drove my missus sufficiently to distraction with her iPad 2 that she's now junked it in favour of a Surface Pro 3.

Yes, she has tried a full reset. Yes, she had applied all the updates (bar yesterday's - too late by then). Features had been turned off, etc etc - but she kept getting hangs/crashes in safari, apps taking an age to load, the complaint list was lengthy.

All of this would have been forgiveable were it not for their policy of not allowing you to revert back to previous OS's. That one-way upgrade has, in her eyes, turned a perfectly good piece of technology into a nigh-unusable piece of junk, and her stance is that she'll likely never buy an Apple product again.

JackClark

"To be fair my 2012 N7 hangs/lags/crashes on KitKat"

Definitely the air around your way.

If my old iPad 2 ever makes it back to my place I'll screen record it working normally.

Your last two posts have been about "Cream" and "Chopping Boards" I think you need to go back to the doctor, get different medication.

Hmmm, upgraded on wednesday, 100% battery this morning. Look at it now..1% I haven't used it all day - not even a text!

Plug it into a PC to charge, it went straight up to 50%. WTF!?

I've had iPhones since the very first one, they've certainly got a lot worse with the software bugs.

What does Battery Usage tell you?

I've noticed since the update that the screen rotation sometimes doesn't work very well/slow to respond, it's not a major problem more of an annoyance.

Battery will have failed, the other half's IP5 used to do that all the time. Finally got to take it into Apple and when they plugged it in that's what they told us.

Just under 2 years old and they wanted £59 to replace the battery .

There was a batch of faulty batteries in certain phones, if you type your serial number into the Apple website it will tell you if yours is one of them and they'll do it for free. Her phone showed all the symptoms and was exactly the same fault as the recalled devices (their words), but because her serial number wasn't (in their opinion) one of the affected ones they wanted paying.

Oh, and to add to that, my IP5 did exactly the same as hers and yours a month later though it was just over two years old.

Also, if updating, just back your phone up to iCloud, then restore phone to factory settings then update then restore from icloud backup. You then don't need to delete anything and don't need a computer either

Mine has done that since day one.

I just tap it on the top it coax it into the correct orientation. I still get teh odd upside down picture though.


Battery usage didn't say much...everything in the last 24hrs below 5% usage, so that draws a blank. Maybe its the battery, but its been OK today...on 64 % as I type after some mild inter-webbing and the odd text
