I wonder if upgrading to iOS 15 will increase the chance of receiving this spyware when they do roll it out? I mean 15.X - 15.Y will likely occur automatically while the phone is connected to WiFi and charging.. but 14 to 15 should require user approval, meaning we should be safe as long as we never upgrade >14..?

I smashed the iphone I had into pieces, and I'm wondering what to do with my mac. Maybe install some linux or something, but I don't really know much about that! It'll take me a couple months of reading on it.. I am still using Mojave anyways.

That's... overly dramatic.

Is there a good breakdown of any changes/improvements to PWAs on iOS 15, like can a PWA app do background audio finally, etc?

Apple Maps is so close to being a fantastic app, but is sorely missing “search along route” that Google has. Right now, you can press the “coffee” or “gas” button but there’s no way to say, search for a CVS on the way back home from work. I really wish Apple added this instead of just suggesting searches that might be useful.

Agree on this and multi-stop routes. I've been using Apple Maps with CarPlay for the last few years and I can confidently say it is better than google maps by a wide margin. The voice, UI, traffic and routing, map design won me over. The aerial and street view quality, while not the most important, are second to none.

No directions for people on bikes in Madison, WI makes this app still utterly useless for me.

I default to Apple Maps, but Google Maps

* is more accurate * has way better local search and reviews (Yelp is garbage)

Use the pieces of the iPhone to smash the Mac

Apple continues to support OS updates on the iPhone 6s, a device released almost 6 years ago. Nor is it reserved for their flagship models - the 2016 iPhone SE also gets the latest and greatest. Meanwhile, my flagship android phone from 2018, the Samsung Galaxy S9, is stuck on the last version of Android. At least it still gets security updates, some manufacturers don't even go that far.

It's one of my biggest gripes with Android. At best, I have gotten 2 years of updates (updates which come 8-12 months after the official Android release).

I could, of course, install a custom ROM. But that usually means (in my experience) that not all hardware features work, battery life is worse, I have to install updates myself and I am usually not as confident about device security. Despite these, I used to install and love custom ROMs a lot in college. when I had the time but not anymore.

On my iPad (while it lasted, RIP), I would get updates on the same day as official iOS release. Night and day difference.

The RC had a lot of bugs and was unusable for some users on r/iOSBeta. The actual release is indeed two builds newer (19A346) so hopefully they've fixed these issues. Edit: looks like it's only available for people seeking it out[0]. Maybe they won't auto-update till 15.0.1? 0: https://i.judge.sh/troubled/Flam/YOWIKKHUYu.png

Firefox would crash every 10 odd pages for me. Hopefully they've fixed it.
