I think it makes some numbers bigger.

 

6.0.1 if I'm being pedantic

 

think the main reason is to "fix" things that don't work correctly!

What is happening to this once great company???

"Resolves an issue that prevents iphone from using the cellular network"
"Fixes a passcode lock bug which sometimes allowed access to passbook pass details from lock screen"
"Fixes a bug that prevents iphone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air" - you have to use another fix first though to allow your upgrade to take place!
"Fixes an issue with the camera flash that doesn't always go off"
"improves reliability of wireless connection to wpa2 wifi networks"

So they release incomplete maps, and it looks like the os itself is incomplete and rushed out. More heads to roll me thinks.

Oh dear.....

 

It's to tease Android owners, see that, that's an update that is.

 

They are going to further improve the maps by swapping roads for rivers, and removing street names.

 

 

Just shows you how bad the initial software release was in the first place if they are updating it this quickly

 

Wifi on my iPhone5 is much better now

 

Yeah, because all good software never gets an update, perfect every time, first time.

The bad software release you refer to was the most successful firmware update ever rolled out, by anyone. The envy of the mobile OS world.

More secure.

 

Shame I tunes 10.7 won't download prpoerly on Windows 7. Loads of errors. Been trying all night. Pile of crap

 

When I did last update the Bluetooth incar ring volume changed and quality of calls affected, hope it's better, never noticed anything else, apart from doncaster spelt as duncaster.downloading now.
Thanks for heads up

 

Try Windows 8, I hear Microsoft have improved things.

 

To be fair, the maps app has improved over the past week or so. Well, not the app, but the actual data, especially the imagery.

In some cases, better (more recent) than Google. So they are getting there.

Vector data is still pretty course, but again has improved. All those Google Geospatial guys they hired are obviously doing their stuff.

As for 6.0.1, well, I for one would rather they got fixes out quickly, but would prefer those fixes shipped with 6.0. One thing Android has going for it, the testing is much more extensive before release, but I guess they are not tied to hardware releases.

no, that's a bugfix. Good thing with android, well they release finished software not rushed software

 

are you really that stupid???? (don't answer, we know the answer )

Did apple advertise the fact that the release was bug ridden? of course they didn't.
Do you think that the majority of people if they knew would have updated? of course they wouldn't.

Do you still think it's the envy of the mobile OS world? Of course it isn't

 

'the envy of the mobile OS world'. What an odd statement, sounds like 'the envy of the model railway world', such is its factor of geek.

 

Yes Jay, I do.

15% of all iOS devices updated in less than 24 hours. In 5 days over 25% of the 410M iOS devices ever sold were running iOS6.

Android Jelly Bean was installed on 1.5% of all devices in 2 months. Ice Cream Sandwich is still only at 20% after over a year.

Apple are equally as good at updating their PC's. Uptake of Mountain Lion was equally as stunning, the envy of OS developers.

Producing the hardware and software is the only way you'll ever achieve this. Hopefully Microsoft can adapt to this model and give you Apple haters some of the benefit.

 

What about the Xbox 360?

 

It's excellent. Mine is in the loft it's so old, but it's still a great, up to date machine. Very Apple like.

 

Seeing as it was released before iOS, surely it'd be more accurate to describe iOS devices as being very Microsoft like...

 

iOS devices are more OSX like and OSX predates Xbox. But yes, they're all a great idea as the software and hardware are developed for each other. The patchwork world of Android is the opposite end of the scale. A kludge.

 

You must be in favour of the rise of Nexus devices then.

 

you aren't getting it are you

my point is that it is a shoddy incomplete release. It wasn't advertised as being incomplete therefore people upgraded to it.

Your stats don't mean anything in this topic, android covers many manufacturers, ios covers 1 of course the take up rates are potentially going to be greater for a 1 manufacturer os.

Due to the saturation of android devices (too many devices released in my opinion by the same manufacturers) not all manufacturers will release updated android software for all their devices. My 3yr old desire hd is not getting official release of jelly bean however it is currently running it perfectly with everything working and guess what, it was created by hobbyists who still manage to create a complete working os

 

A step in the right direction, but the platform is too fragmented.

 

Jay, your problem is you believe your opinion makes a product "shoddy" it doesn't.

 

Jack, your problem is you believe everything apple do is great, even releasing unfinished software (not for the first time). It's not.

 

I believe the products I use are great, and they are.

Bug free software, LOL.

 

Such low standards Jack? I never thought it of you

 

OK, I believe the products I use are excellent. And they are.
