@lostgame: Out of interest, what device size are you running GB on? Want to upgrade my old phone to take advantage of GB's Logic integration, but I can't decide whether to get an iPhone 8 Plus or the standard model... Does screen size make a big difference on that app? (do you know...) Thanks
Nothing beats the iPad Mini / LTE model’s form factor and screen, and I use VOIP anyways.

they have to invent new things every year or a complex negative feedback starts because people, analyst and ultimately stock holder won't accept that an iphone iteration is just a little faster and has more battery
I agree that it is stupid that they have to deliver new things every year or they get negative feedback, but that doesn't mean they should deliver features that make their products worse or that QA should quit doing their job. Apple is a company with many many billions of dollars in the bank. There is no excuse for this. If their QA sucks, fire them all and hire 10,000+ new QA staff. They easily have the money to do…

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.
Install the tvOS beta profile and it’ll never ask you again.

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.

#105Not 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.
" If this were any other manufacturer, they would be burnt at the stake." Nah. Look at Samsung: you can make a TV that spies on you, a washing machine that explodes, and a smartphone that spontaneously catches on fire . And then go take a look at how their stock is doing this year. We've reached the pavlovian phase of western consumer culture: we'll just keep on buying and buying and buying, no matter what.
they did get a lot of bad PR for that and it was running joke in the tech industry and it still is even though they have recalled the faulty devices.

The quality people got sick of living like a peasant in the high cost of living areas surrounding apple and took jobs elsewhere. Its only a matter of time until every silicon valley tech company faces the same problem.
I created a separate account to write this comment, since it's going to be harsh. I work for a Bay Area technology company with a decidedly mediocre engineering team. My experience over the past 2-3 years is that the worst software engineers (at our mediocre organization) are being hired by Apple. This is totally anecdotal and the sample size is maybe five. But I just cannot escape the fact that Apple continues to hi…
WHY that happens is much less clear to me.

How has it become a pain? Been doing. Stove iOS for a while and now I'm learning React Native, it's fun.
Same. I’ve done 10 or so apps in objc/swift and now 4 in RN and even though I know native like the back of my hand I much prefer RN. Jsx and the rendering model of react is 10x better than constraints in code or storyboards. Getting android nearly for free is just a cherry on top.
Right, and the faster development cycle with hot or manual reloading makes it really easy to be productive.
I just need to figure out a few integration issues like navigation within our native app and localization using our current native scripts, but all the newness and uncertainty is really exciting.
Sorry I just realized my previous message autocorrected to nonsense.

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…

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.
This doesn't seem a little thing to me. I use Apple primarily because I don't want headaches. But apparently every major iOS release is getting always worse, especially if you have "old" devices (calling old a phone from 2 years ago is kind of a stretch). I postponed my update because I read about the crippling battery life problems, and now there is also this bootloop...

#110What is happening at Apple? I’m honestly worried for them. Is their QA department in disarray?
It's not a matter of one department, it's a matter of culture which starts from the top. Jobs insisted on perfection, and that permeated the entire organisation. Cook is satisfied with gimmicks and is contented to just coast on the reputation Jobs earned. He just doesn't have the personal stake Jobs had, he's a manager not a leader. Just like the iconic HP was never the same once Fiorina took over.
