Title: 12Gb
Post by: TheBoy on 13 November 2020, 18:19:49
How the hell can an update be over 12Gb.

Methinks crApple have lost* the plot.



*I'd argue they lost the plot when they lost God Jobs (both times)

The 'Japan' update of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 was 16.9Gb

Then two subsequent updates of 6Gb and 4.8Gb soon after.



At least BigSur is a (practically) new OS

Aye, it would appear that IOS14 on my gayPhone 6S mullers the battery every since I installed that a couple of weeks back.

Apple have absolutely lost the plot.

Apple OS 14.02 downloaded last night with no problems, both on gaypad and gayphone 8. 6S is pretty old now.

6S is pretty old now.
See, I'm not a latest and greatest.  To me, 5yrs old is not old.

The cynic in me thinks crApple up to their old tricks and purposely trashing older models to force me to upgrade.  Downside for them is, due to a lack of *any* innovation in the last decade and ever more buggy releases, my next phone is unlikely to be a gayPhone...   ...as much as I don't like Android shite.

And the cynic in me, given that my gayPad is around the same age, it won't be long before crApple decide to suddenly make that run poorly.

The Apple philosophy is, 'The customer doesn't know what they want, until we tell them'.

Sounds like a dictatorship to me.

On the subject of phones, I've broken the screen on mine over the weekend. Grumble, grumble, there goes another £20 (this isn't the first time I've broken it).

With my Trimphone, if it rings and I pick it up there is usually someone on the other end of the line I can talk to.

On the other hand, if I pick it up before it rings, and I can hear a BRRRRR sound, then I can turn the little wheel thing around to various angles that apparently represent numbers, and if by chance I get the correct sequence of turns I can hear a ringing sound, and after a few rings someone may answer it and I can talk to them.

Are there telephonic devices that do more than that?

Weeks? Months. Or Years.  They are several iterations into ios14, and each one creates more obvious bugs than they fix.

So, in 24hrs my factory reset phone with no apps or data installed goes from 100% to under 40%.  That seems excessive considering it had no use in that time.

I suppose it could be coincidence that the point I went from IOS13 to IOS14.2 suddenly the battery started to fail.....   ...but thats pretty unlikely.

Could be a failing battery, after all, this one is coming up to 2 years old, though the cynic in me thinks Apple fitted crap batteries when they were forced to do it cheap.  6S looks a bit more of a pain to change battery than previous. Debating if I can be arsed, or get another £200 Galaxy.
