 iOS 9 / OS X 10.11 - Focus on Stability, Quality and Support

[cesrai]

Time to update then, or maybe not - going to wait about people reports -

[nims0c]

My fingers are crossed for big speed and stability improvements on both platforms. My mom's iPad mini and iPhone 4s are kinda sluggish and my 2010 MBP has had a record number of kernel panics as of late.

Good on Apple for supporting their old devices - shows that they're not completely focused on getting people to upgrade. I haven't updated my iPhone 4s to the latest version since performance just got worse with every update. Now I'll be able to keep her running for a little longer.

 

I especially like that they are supporting old iPads, which are not something that are upgraded as often as a phone. If you still have a functioning iPad 2, then there isn't much reason to update (unless you need the extra power from the newer processors). For me, who just uses their iPad 2 to consume media, this is perfect.

and hopefully no wifi bug. seriously how do you accidentally disable the wifi on your phones and two times as well

[ArcherUBW]

I know, that there are some customers that want to customize every little detail, but I rather see a more secure system, that locks out that group, than a weaker system that has that options.

 

the last iPhone I jailbreaked was an 3GS. I don't feel the necessity to jailbreak anymore with stuff like control center added to iOS.

but then i cant use the multitasking add in 

[SIGSEGV]

Apple, my friend...

SHUTUP AND FIX ALL THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS BUGS BEFORE YOU BRING OUT ANOTHER NEW DAMN OS
THIS NEVER USED TO HAPPEN! WHY ARE YOUR OSES BUGGY AS HELL NOWADAYS?

[MrSuperb]

but then i cant use the multitasking add in 

 

as I said. there are certainly some users that would like to jailbreak the device.

but there are lots and lots of users who don't care or want to jailbreak the device.

security should be a concern for both groups.

full of bugs? what version are you using?

but they still shouldnt exclude one of the groups and you can improve security without disabling jailbreaking

[JMY1000]

full of bugs? what version are you using?

 

10.10, 10.8, 10.7, 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, 10.0. Any one of those means full of bugs. 10.10 still has lots of problems, sorry to say, even if the really friggin big ones were fixed. And there are simply times when 10.10 just randomly breaks, not in a repeatable manner, but just a random way.

 

I'm all for 10.11 and iOS 9 being stability

This is exactly why I haven't done a jailbreak since iOS 6. I have no reason to now.

Dont tell me they will update the ipad 2 as well, it seems like apple loves the iPad 2.

Mine's jailbroken but there's like a couple things installed with only 2 of those things i actually use but they're just things that Apple could implement with a hotfix so maybe if they do make the things i use available ill upgrade otherwise i'm just gonna stay on 8.1.

[mr moose]

You know, Apple could integrate seamless Android app support, outlook account syncing and blackberry compatibility and then drop the rrp by $100 and people would still find a way to make this to be a negative thing. 

 

Personally I don't care what they are concentrating on next because I don't like OSX or ioS. Do you know what that means? It means I won't use it, that's all, it doesn't mean it's bad, or lacking, or unsuitable for other people in other situations.

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

The the specs of the iPad 2 are pretty much the same as the iPad mini 1st gen, so it might be. Only reason not to support it if they support the mini 1st gen would be forcing people to buy a new device to get newer software.

Edit: Yay, 200th post

[ObeseWalrus]

Good to see Apple making it more secure and stable for people that has chosen that particular ecosystem.

I have been using OS X since 2006 (bought the first Intel Macbook) and I simply have to disagree. None of the OS X versions from 10.4 to 10.10 were or are full of bugs.

I have been using 10.10 on my Air and my Hackintosh, also I am monitoring all of the "family" Macs and none of the randomly breaks nor is full of bugs.

 

I am sorry to say that, but I think you are talking out of your ass.

[MrSuperb]

no they can't.

 

 

you can't grant low level access to some jailbreakers, while excluding some bad guys.

Dear Google,

 

 

           Please do the same and actually work out all flaws of your OS instead of just jumping to the next one.

[Analog]

"focus on quality and stability"

 

...what the heck where they focusing on before?

 

Copying Android features! You can't do everything at once!

Nah, Google would rather only give you 18 months of support and force you to upgrade just to get anything. Like the Galaxy Nexus where they claimed since TI wasn't supporting the chipset anymore, so giving it 4.4 would be difficult. Yet people are now giving the Nexus 5.0 ROMs without issue. 

 

Google acts like its shit don't stink, yet they have some pretty shitty policies.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. My first Mac was a PowerBook G4 (so no affronting me there sorry), and there have really been some fluctuations.

 

What I want to say is that while very few of the versions contained seriously OS-breaking bugs that ruined the system that weren't fixed quickly (Lion and Mountain Lion had RAM consumption problems which got patched kinda and really improved with Mavericks, Mavericks had the big security hole as well as an iTunes library bug, but that got fixed, as did [mostly] the Yosemite wi-fi problems) but that several versions of the system simply didn't have the rock-hard stability that we had come to expect from 10.4 to 10.6.

 

Look, if there weren't problems, Apple wouldn't be focusing on fixing problems. It's not like any of the versions really screwed you over too badly usually, but there were and are problems. The fact that Apple repeatedly came out with operating systems that needed patches to work right pretty early on shows that the versions weren't ready. It's okay, sure, and you can say that "Well, they were free upgrades and you did adopt it early on", but we were lead on to believe that they were stable releases, not buggy early access.

[Speedbird]

I REALLY hope it will be released for the iPad 2.

you said, that they were "full of bugs", which simply isn't true. I never said, that there were no bugs.

also none of those were "OS-breaking".

There is no bug-free software. And never in the years from 2006-2015 was there anything "OS-breaking".

Saying that OS X is "full of bugs" is just bullshit.
