This comment is written on iOS 10. I just wish there was a way to turn off the upgrade nag screen. Nothing better than asking for your passkey in a modal while you're trying to get shit done.

This comment is written on iOS 9. Still don't feel like I'm missing anything.

This comment is written on 8.4.1... If I need to use a hammer I don't want to have to upgrade it... And when I do upgrade it I don't want the head to fly off or the handle to break when I'm trying to drive a nail.

What is happening at Apple? I’m honestly worried for them. Is their QA department in disarray?

I don't think they even need a QA department for software, given how many people are donating their free time to file radars. https://blackpixel.com/writing/2012/02/radar-or-gtfo.html Considering that some people will continuously adjust their iPad clocks into the future to be able to play Candy Crush without waiting (sic!!!), this bug must have affected people, and was certainly somewhere on Apple's radar. It's just…

Not one word of apology from Apple! The workaround involves turning off notifications individually for every app, and then turning them on after the update. If this were any other manufacturer, they would be burnt at the stake. But we somehow let Apple get away with it.

Most people (+80%) noticed nothing.

Sure, like Samsung was burnt at the stake for exploding phones. Clearly this is way worse.

The Samsung battery issue was a Black Swan event; unpredicted, rare and genuinely a surprise to the manufacturer.

A bootloop due to a date value is just sloppy.

Would we? We didn't burn LG at the stake for bootloops. We don't burn Microsoft at the stake for updating Windows 1p in the middle of work. Plenty of Android phones have had problems. If anything I feel like Apple gets more flak for every little thing, it just so happens this week they've had two genuinely really bad ones.

Let's not forget that other than people being a bit mad, all those bulging battery packs from Samsung seems to be largely, and quickly, forgotten. I even saw a review of the new one that had a "Doesn't explode" in the Pros column.

http://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-macbook-battery-exploded/ Samsung is not an exclusive offender with exploding things.

I don't get all this anger towards "Apple". Ultimately, this and other recent bugs are human errors and we all make mistakes in our work - most likely due to a lack of time to do their job properly. I think that is the real issue.

Damn it... I literally just wiped my iPhone completely because of this problem and am now restoring it from scratch. I wish I had read hacker news first!

I'm surprised this hasn't spread more in the traditional news. It's affecting almost everybody that has an iphone which is half the population. I had to tell many of my friends that were cursing over crashing phones. Is it that they don't want to be seen as fist line support for apple?

Because when you pay 700 euros for a phone there is a certain level of quality expectations.
