My favourite is Mail telling me "Message has not been downloaded from the server". And no way to tell it to download it.
Or my favorite, "1 Unsent Message." Yeah, thanks guys, that's super informative.
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…
I've had to switch to FastMail app with iOS 14, because Mail.app sends emails from the wrong alias – from an address other than what's selected in the From field. I thought I'd messed up, but no, Mail.app just doesn't work correctly. Befuddling.

From a user perspective, this release is super solid. I'm not going to be updating to Big Sur any time soon, but I'm running iOS 14 everywhere now and haven't had any trouble
It has some big issues (first hand). Avoid for a while if you do mission/life critical work on your phone. As for some of the devs saying it is great, many of them have crappy apps. The top devs like Rambo are tweeting to avoid.
Who or what sanctioning body determines who is a “top dev”.
I’m using it on my phone, have been for a bit, and have had no issues. Zero. I must be reachable at all times. So whoever Rambo is, is wrong.

Never had any issue with Catalina, so there's that, and I'm quite a heavy user (development and unix userland, and nle, photo, and daw programs). People often have some bad personal experience and deduce from that the OS is objectively and generally a "sshow", but it can often be some specific third party program, service, extension, or hardware -- or some genuine Apple bug that doesn't affect all devices/users/use c…

I've been using the Developer Betas since the first announcement and have had only a handful of minor issues (like my Bank erroneously thinking my device was jailbroken). I think it's probably one of the more stable iOS releases I've seen.
Fwiw, this was on an iPhone 11 and iPad Pro (2019)

I'm still on OSX Mojave. I'll be upgrading to Catalina in October, a year after it was released.
I'd recommend you don't upgrade to Catalina. It's really awful. Go straight to Big Sur.

>* I use a Blackberry for my black box phone* I don’t think you’re representative of the general market... I’ve never heard of people talking about the “Samsung experience”, or the “Huawei experience”. These devices are interchangeable. People talk about specs or price or getting longer term support.
I mentioned the Blackbox phone only because folks here (and mostly here alone) care about privacy. People outside this ecosystem don't give a damn about privacy - it's either the value of the phone at its price or its the capability of the phone which appeals to them. Appleistas are the only ones who talk about the Apple experience because clearly it's only Apple which came up with that marketing gimmick. There's not…
Absolute horse crap, unless you speak for the market. I don’t have to carry two phones and also don’t have to worry about privacy. In fact I have a phone made by a company who could really give two craps about the ad market and feeding it more data. Second is you can be sure if it’s Apple you’ll get quality. With other android phones you’ll get mostly cheap. The user interface style on android is also ugly, cards are old, material is boring, but this is subjective, just like you saying Apple provides no better experience than Samshit or Chinawei

If you're hanging onto it, like me, because it's small and not because it's cheap, there are rumours that the launch of the iPhone 12 in October will include a 5.4" model. It would be the smallest they've released since the original SE, and will have flat edges too.
Hanging on to my SE not only because it still feels nippy and works great and because the form factor is ideal (my first iPhone was a 5, then a 5S, then the SE) but also because it's the last bastion of the headphone jack.

Is your outbox empty?
I swear, if they dumb down iOS any further, I'll have to rent a monkey to troubleshoot it.
(I imagine that what it's really complaining about is the size of the .mov attachment, but I keep it around for amusement's sake and to remind me to be considerate of my own users' needs.)
