Faithful iPhone SE (1st gen) user checking in. Thankful to still be in the club. This will likely our last.

I'm glad to see they support it but requiring 3GB of free space on 16GB(minus OS) is gonna take me a few nights to squeeze out. I just wish the iTunes install could use swap on my computer.

Does it not? I thought that was the fix for when you didn't have enough space for an OTA update. Has this changed in more recent iOS versions?

Any news on PWA support front?

You're not allowed to ask this question when the Apple fans come by to vote on their favorite Apple stories :)

Clearly these people love a tyrant and just can't imagine a PWA that only gets to ask for special permissions once the user proactively installs it to their home screen (or gasp having an option that lets everybody make their own choice on whether to opt into PWA notifications altogether).

The guy simply stating that he is a "Faithful iPhone SE (1st gen) user checking in." is obviously more important than asking about technical features, come on now!

Any Android users have insight into the uptake on Instant Apps [1] over the past three years? I’ll be curious how they and the new App Clips [2] in iOS 14 will evolve versus web apps. [1]: https://developer.android.com/topic/google-play-instant [2]: https://developer.apple.com/app-clips/

minimal to no usage, i expect to see `app-clips` deprecated by iOS 15

I'm not touching that update with a 10 foot pole. Not until it's been live for at least a week, and developers have had a chance to actually update their apps for it! Honestly, that's just good policy on all Apple updates lately. It seems that more and more of them have been plagued with issues and are trailed by hotfixes. I've learned to just wait a while. Other people can be the test guinea pigs!

I still haven't upgraded to macOS Catalina (first time I've not upgraded macOS). I just don't have half a day to spare with whatever weird stuff it's going to break.

The only thing that broke for me with Catalina was a single symlink on my work laptop. Aside from that (fixing it was just issuing a single command and restarting), I had no issues. On the other hand, there were no notable features to upgrade for.

No sign of it here yet. I’m curious if it fixed some of the unpleasant behaviour and bugs that were never fixed in iOS 13. Things like Mail not displaying new emails properly unless your went out and back into the mailbox. The keyboard autocorrecting to random names aggressively and inserting capital letters if you dare move the cursor. All new behaviours introduced with iOS 13 that adversely affect the user experien…

Interesting. Didn't realise the capital letter thing was a bug.

I just assumed it's because I've got both English and German enabled and well Germans like their capital letters

From the update: "Option to set your default email and web browser". Finally!

It’s still not in yet. Been waiting for it all beta as the #1 feature. Going to guess it will be in 14.1

Your favorite apps might just need to get updated to support the new feature.
