You 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.

Only to the iOS versions currently being signed, which doesn't provide a huge selection. https://ipsw.me/ provides a nifty way to see what is available.

Hah. I can't help but wonder if Apple has started mindlessly implementing contemporary "software engineering best practices" (yuck): - Everything must be Scrum or a similar sprint system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8836734 - Move to an open office layout to foster collaboration: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14962663 - Kick out high-performing "heroes" like Scott Forstall - Instead, build teams of me…

It may also have to do something with scope. In 2000-~2010 Apple was basically and iPod + UNIX desktop company. The iPods did not spectacularly until the iPod Touch/iPhone, OS X had a relatively narrow scope: a UNIX system supporting a small hardware range, with a nice modern display server, and good object-oriented frameworks. In the last years their scope has expanded immensely, both hardware-wise (iPhone, iPad, Ap…

I have yet to find a pdf viewer which does anti-aliasing right except acrobat reader. If you have two colored objects with a common edge on a white background, that edge will be lighter in color.

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.

Why didn't you get an SE instead?

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

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 F…

I agree with the rest of your comment, but not this part:

> "Just like the iconic HP was never the same once Fiorina took over."

HP was in trouble well before she joined the company.

Yep. Same with Yahoo! and Marissa Mayer. Women get blamed more frequently than men when a company is failing [0]. They are also more likely to become CEOs when a company is already in trouble [1].

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 the hell is this???

A hammer analogy?

If it ain't broke don't "fix" it.

Car analogies only please.

(Ironically "if it ain't broke..." doesn't apply to Apple)

Two of the worst quality phones available, as we all now know. This only reflects poorly on The Verge.

Please name the phone that is in your opinion the best quality phone available, to calibrate this statement.

I'd been an Apple fan and happy iPhone user for ~8 years until I updated my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 11. My phone went from snappy to crappy. Apple support told me I couldn't go back to iOS 10, so I figured it was time to buy a new phone. My Pixel 2 came Friday.
