Since iOS 10 the system apps have been on the App Store, and as far as I know, they can now be updated that way, too.

They‘re listed on the App Store but they‘re fake listings. Removing a core app from the home screen does not remove it from the device. Installing it from the App Store restores that link. That means updates still need to be a part of a system update.

Like IE in Win XP

Let's just be frank: If Jobs was in charge, everyone that remotely touched that app would pulled into a room, berated and told how fucking dumb they are, and told to pack their shit and find another job. Remember, he was obsessive about the first calculator app and hand-tuned it to his liking, so it's not hyperbole to suggest that he would be fucking livvid.

> perfection requires assholes?

Wait, wat? How?

Give up privacy? I thought it was with Android that I could root and remove all proprietary services (using e.g. F-Droid, LineageOS). Plus, you can set the window/transition animation scale to anything you want. The only thing iOS had for me was reliability and that seems to have gone out the window recently.

Being able to use an exploit to get root on your Android device is every bit as annoying as being able to use an exploit to get root on an iOS device (particularly as "getting root" isn't even enough on either device: you need to disable a bunch of random OS-level protections with a kernel exploit). There are a small number of Android devices with an unlocked bootloader, but in reality that just means "the Nexus devi…

Nearly all the Sony phones have bootloaders to my knowledge, and I have personally always loved their build quality too. Not to mention they're one of the few manufacturers that still allow you to have a microSD instead of paying through your nose for extra onboard storage, so they're my personal recommendation.

People are talking about "lag" and performance, as if this was a "the system can't handle it!" issue. This is a misleading description. The actual issue is that some developer at Apple screwed up their animation configuration when implementing the calculator redesign, and nobody tested adding more than two numbers together quickly. Multiple failures, none involving system performance. What's happening is: the operato…

TIL some people think berating your employees when they do a mistake is a good way to run a company.

WOW!

It's just so wrong at so many levels, I don't even know where to start.

I'm able to reproduce the bug on iOS 10.3.3 on an iPhone 6 so it appears the bug has existed before iOS 11.

Just tried this on my iPhone 4 (yes 4!, iOS 7.?) and I get 4 when adding 1+2+3 quickly, and sometimes 10 or 11(!?). Looks like this is a feature, not a bug, or else it would have been fixed sometime in the last 8 years! /s

Is 4 your daily? I miss my 4S and I'd replace current 6S with it but if I could bring performances. Beautiful phone.

If all inputs are in hh:mm format, then there is no ambiguity of 930 as 9:30 am/pm. There could be a toggle for AM/PM. Who puts seconds as an input for setting their morning alarm? MAD!

What's the unambiguous setting of 73:45 in hh:mm format?

Invalid input, just as the empty string or a single digit would be.

For the layman the "system" in this context is the calculator, which can't, indeed, handle it.

As the thread says, I can confirm this bug, the answer: 24 :( iOS 11 must be the buggiest piece of s I've ever tried. Stuck animations, apps that take ages to load, widgets not working, more stuck animations, text overlapping everywhere. Related: Flat design was supposed to make things leaner... EDIT: Worst of all, every single operation is wrong: 7+8+9 = 96 4+5+6 = 60

> iOS 11 must be the buggiest piece of s I've ever tried. that might be true in general, but this calculator bug exists since iOS9 and only surfaced now.

I'm unable to reproduce it on my 6s on 10.3.3. It's so fast that I can run into the issue, but I'm almost certainly hitting the keys in the wrong sequence.
