Not to get all "when I was your age we walked uphill both ways and we liked it," but I really do think the frenetic pace of software updates across the whole industry these days is insane. In web software I see companies releasing multiple times per day at the extreme, once a day being more typical, but still nuts. Things like iOS upgrades are obviously less frequent than that but still seem so hurried. Why all the rush? It's like the whole industry is on a massive coke bender. Seriously, let people use your software. The constant updating just creates a shifting sand under people's feet. I don't need every product I use to change every week or month, and in fact I find it quite irritating. Just let me use the product!

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.
This comment is written on iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad 2. It might not be able to run most new apps now, but at least it doesn't lag. Plus, the OS actually looks nice.
I regretted upgrading my iPad 4 to iOS 8.
Then I upgraded it to iOS 9 and regretted even more. Hopelessly - and wishing iOS 10 will solve the problems - I then upgraded to iOS 10.
Now there's no JailBreak for iOS 10.3.1 32 Bit devices, and the OS lags like never before. Really miss iOS 6...

You’re kind of right. Trouble started with iOS 7. That’s when the focus went from usability ( which, btw, includes performance) to shiny and disturbing animations nobody cares about.
And now i can’t even modify text properly because the drag n drop interfeers with cursor positionning.

Install the tvOS beta profile and it’ll never ask you again.
Do you happen to have a link - sounds pretty cool if that will work.
The original link is down.

usual caveats apply, make sure that mobileconfig is really the mobileconfig you're looking for.

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 are they the worst? Without directly refuting your comment, it's hard to believe that Apple hired the worst programmers at your company, without knowing why you think they are worst.

#126Damn 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?

Nothing beats the iPad Mini / LTE model’s form factor and screen, and I use VOIP anyways.
iPhone 5s does. Not too big, not too small. RIP. Reaching the top corner on this 8 is horrible and I’m large, tall person.
For GarageBand? I think you’re misunderstanding the question.

#128You know what would help shit like this? Letting us downgrade iOS. I get it. It means potential security exploits. But at least let us make the choice wether we’d prefer those to shiny new, and different issues that seem to be growing in number. Please? No? Fine, I’ll wait for the jailbreak and collect the goddamn SHSH blobs or whatever, if that’s how far you’ll make me go. My, how lucky you are that GarageBand iOS h…

You can downgrade through iTunes. Download the IPSW and put phone in DFU mode and then Alt + RightClick on Update iOS in iTunes when it you plug the device in.
