- madeofpalk 9y agoHow do you update software without updating it? I'm literally at a loss with how you would like them to resolve it if you don't want to install updates.
- amiga-workbench 9y agoI assume he means backporting bugfixes to previous major releases.
- danso 9y agoYeah I still haven't updated one of my iOS devices because quite a few good apps haven't been updated to be compatible with iOS 11
- ClassyJacket 9y agoI think what they're getting at it, release an iOS 10.3.4 or whatever so that people who don't want iOS 11 can still avoid this bug. They did this once before, around iOS 6 I believe, when the security certificate for Facetime ran out. And it's understandable. iOS 11 made my iPhone 7 - the newest one at the time - so unusable I sold it and got a different phone. It went from a good, snappy phone, to a slow mess that took seconds more to open or switch apps, crashed all the time, had UI glitches all over the place, and was so slow it couldn't play locally downloaded audio without stuttering and slowing down. Ew.
- brokenmachine 9y agoThis really shits me about updates to phones and other devices like my TV. I always cringe a bit when there's an update because the companies never provide any way to downgrade if you're not happy after. It's not only Apple responsible, I wish there was some kind of consumer protections. There should always be a way for a consumer to get a product back to the state is was at the time of purchase.
- BaconJuice 9y agoI'm really curious to know how you think they can possibly do that without you having to update your phone. Care to explain?
- gondo 9y agosee @ClassyJacket response basically release ios 10.3.4
