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.

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'll leave a link to this video: https://www.ted.com/talks/brian_goldman_doctors_make_mistake...

I don't think Job's way was a good way, but it's certainly better than whatever the hell they are doing now.

If Jobs was in charge, he would still be living and people are worried about calculator.

yes it's so broken and if you delete a selected event the app crashes.

This (and more) happens on Windows 10 sticky notes. I wonder if they collaborated.

My W10 sticky notes never crashed and I edit them daily and create/delete new ones weekly.

Summary: It animates the + button when you press it, and blocks any further touches till the animation is done. Video: https://streamable.com/4xsh9

Correction: It doesn’t block any further touches, just operator button touches. So 1+234 won’t miss the 3, but 1+2+3 misses the second +.

You can disable animations in Accessibility settings along with other things. Check it out! EDIT: Should probably mention it's called Reduce Motion.

On iOS 10, it does not disable animations but replaces them with fade-ins/fade-outs. I don't know the behaviour on iOS 11, but I suspect it is going to be the same.

It is, but it does feel a bit speedier. Interestingly I’ve had Reduce Motions on for quite some time and just turned it off. Feels kinda newish now, but I guess I sometimes just like change for changes sake.

The worst thing for me is the Camera. If I want to take a photo of something that's just happening I don't even bother anymore since I can expect it to take 10 seconds to wake the phone, get into the camera, and have the shutter button respond and have it actually take a photo (sometimes it looks like it took a photo but it actually didn't save!).

Interesting. Bored before bed so ran a quick test using my iphone7 and Ios 11.x, Google's stopwatch. The time from wake to photo was ~2seconds (using the lockscreen short cut). The time from wake to home screen photo app to photo was ~5 seconds. * I had to start the timer myself then go back to using the phone so I believe I could cut ~500ms. Since I have Live Photo enabled, the 2-second shots actually have a few fra…

I really miss Samsung's 'double-click home button to use camera' on the Galaxy S6 and S7. Probably the most convenient implementation of a camera shortcut I've seen.

As soon as I upgraded my 6s to 11, I saw performance seriously degrade. It takes -seconds- to bring up the iMessage editor. My immediate thought was that Apple had liberally sprinkled wait() into the iOS 11 code base so that I'd feel like my ole A9 CPU just wasn't cutting it any more and I'd realize, as they do, it's time to upgrade. Or... maybe they are running every key stroke through the new Azure-enabled Cray com…

>>As soon as I upgraded my 6s to 11, I saw performance seriously degrade. It takes -seconds- to bring up the iMessage editor. THIS! My exact experience and sentiment. The lag frustrates me every time I open almost any app (and then I get frustrated with myself for letting myself succumb to such a first-world-problem) Is there any recourse? Can we disable some animations or other unnecessary features in settings? Can…

So why do you update to the latest version? iPhone 6 is quite old by now, and the updates have historically caused reduced performance. I didn't put Windows 7 on my old 1GB Windows XP machine because it's dumb, you should think about the same when updating your phone.
