Apple's latest update fixed a major bug, but also made matters worse for many iPhone users

I like it when the author writes at the bottom: "Hopefully, iOS 12.1.5 goes better." Wanna bet??

Apple and Google are becoming the EA Games of mobile world. They have all the resources for quality control but they got the most bugged and problem-driven phones.

By now, you could create an article saying Apple broke something, before they even push the update.

Apple is a joke lately, an overpriced one.

Do you believe Android has no bugs? If so, I have some beach front property in Idaho you might be interested in!

13. PopeFrancis (Posts: 109; Member since: 05 Aug 2014)

I know it has bugs, just like any OS. It's just that this update-break-update cycle is getting ridiculous. Especially when Apple users brag about iOS superiority, because of its frequent updates.

15. kiko007 (Posts: 7369; Member since: 17 Feb 2016)

Apple users brag about its superiority for a number of reasons including but not limited to: Security, App Quality, Ease of Messaging, etc. I imagine frequent updates are one thing most iPhone users DON’T brag about related to software.

22. PopeFrancis (Posts: 109; Member since: 05 Aug 2014)

Well, none of those are true and yes, many of them brag about frequent updates.

If you believe that Android is as secure as iOS, there’s nothing more we need to discuss.

32. PopeFrancis (Posts: 109; Member since: 05 Aug 2014)

I just evaesdropped you via FaceTime and you were accepting iOS is not as secure as Apple wants you to believe.

Frequent updates mean nothing if this is the quality you are to expect. But yeah...very secure especially if you can't connect to the internet lol.

"most iPhone users DON’T brag about related to software." Because there's nothing to brag about broken software. Come on dude, let's be real here. Every update apple release opens up new skeletons in the closet. You can't enjoy your device in a year without going to tech support at least twice. Owned xperia phones for years. Sony don't offer the latest design, their marketing is always inferior to the big boys but I did not have any major headache with their software updates.

There were cellular problems before this update, this article comes from Forbes who notoriously write BS articles about every iOS update.

18. lyndon420 (Posts: 6191; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)

Even you gotta admit that this is getting pretty rediculous for a company like apple who has such tight control over their hardware and software. With each passing day (and PhoneArena article) I see fewer reasons to buy into apple and their products.

31. kiko007 (Posts: 7369; Member since: 17 Feb 2016)

They have 500 million devices to update regularly. Let’s not act like this is Essential or some no-name startup who only sold a few thousand phones. Besides, quoting tweets about a few people experiencing issues is ridiculous! The only reason for this article to even exist is web traffic.

OMG if this was Samsung you would be all over it. It wouldn't matter if it was just a few. Yes android gets bugs to so, why not just admit iOS does to.

74. dimas (Posts: 3173; Member since: 22 Jul 2014)

"500 million devices to update regularly." If their estimated software maintenance cost is $4 per device, that is still a cheap penny compared to what they earn.

No android user ran around saying that. But apple users on the other hand, they're something else. It just works remember?

25. lyndon420 (Posts: 6191; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)

Apple hasn't used the phrase 'just works' for a while now...for good reason.

Are you using DuckDuckGo? Google has found several links regarding issues from 12.1.4 including Apple support forums.

76. ibap (Posts: 861; Member since: 09 Sep 2009)

As tech savvy as your avatar? Just do a web search on "iOS 12.1.4 issues".

Exactly my reaction the writeup ... But then, again, PA run out of stories to write about and decided to write about two unfortunate Twitter users ... We both are commenting in a click bait article facepalm

21. rouyal (Posts: 1445; Member since: 05 Jan 2018)

I think it was 3 tweets quoted, one has like 40 followers and others less than 10, so you know they had to really search and dig hard to get this “story”.

Long time no see. A tech expert got banned again.

46. kiko007 (Posts: 7369; Member since: 17 Feb 2016)

Yo good to hear from you too! What’d they ban him for this time?

49. Vancetastic (Posts: 432; Member since: 17 May 2017)

I was wondering that myself. I figured it was the usual...bizarre long winded anti-Apple rants, complete with misogyny!

It was absolutely ridiculous how he'd go on tangents about women for no reason at all. Literally out of thin air "that's why women buy iPhones, cuz they don't know tech" one time. Completely unjustified (not to mention wrong) attack. Dude was trash of the lowest caliber.
