  4. UNFORTUNATELY, they didnt revert/fix the absolutely disgusting new caller screen for contacts that have not poster card set up nor they introduced a way that we can change the default caller screen for all contacts that dont have poster card and nobody in his right mind will manually customize over 1600 contacts 1 by 1 .. of which not even half uses iphones. It is absolutely horrible. I am sorry ,but at this point even one ui looks miles better aesthetically.

  7. love your calm neutral soft voice and charisma! so glad i clicked on this from a homepage video rec bc your thumbnail looked so inviting and happy! subscribing to add you into my tech awareness videos on youtube!

  8. Hi Andrew, how about the synced content bug. It still isn’t fixed. For us old heads who buy music on iTunes and want to sync to our iPhone later. With this sync content bug we can’t sync because it takes up storage preventing us syncing to our phone. I guess if it doesn’t affect you, it’s no big deal. So frustrating.

  10. Have they fixed up namedrop yet so you can choose ALL the details to share, I want to share my company name, telephone numbers, email and address, but it only allows sharing ONE of the telephone numbers or email address, Namedrop is extremely nerfed at the moment.

  12. Well for normals we are just around for the security updates, and things that Apple fixes by default that we will never notice. Now new feature updates keep the pundits who always seem to have their panties in a bunch about such things busy. Squirrel ! ! !

  17. This update messed up my iTunes Library by creating multiple albums for every single artist, back when Steve was running the show we didn’t get all of these ridiculous updates and now I can’t tell the difference between Windows and iOS… Thanks for letting me rant
