No sign of it here yet.
I’m curious if it fixed some of the unpleasant behaviour and bugs that were never fixed in iOS 13.
Things like Mail not displaying new emails properly unless your went out and back into the mailbox. The keyboard autocorrecting to random names aggressively and inserting capital letters if you dare move the cursor. All new behaviours introduced with iOS 13 that adversely affect the user experience.
- google234123 6y agoThe inserting of capital letters is really annoying.
- Jtsummers 6y agoAmusingly I'd not noticed either of those keyboard behaviors before today. And then it turned "Darth Vader" into "Daryl Vader" and randomly capitalized a word when I went back to edit and then back to the end to resume writing. The mail issues have definitely been a pain, but I honestly couldn't tell if it was the Mail app or the connection with gmail (which has had issues with other mail clients for me).
- Austin_Conlon 6y agoMarco Arment on the ATP podcast said that Mail bug was finally fixed.
- billforsternz 6y agoOn the ATP podcast Marco Arment reported that the mail bug you describe has in fact been fixed. He was happy and surprised.
- radley 6y agoIt's up
- chooseaname 6y agoThat mail bug is annoying. I don't get why Apple can't push their apps out to their app store and update them separately so it doesn't take an iOS update. The only reason I can think of is to force people to always stay on the latest iOS version, but that's anti-user, so surely that's not the reason. ;)
- applecrazy 6y agoThey technically are on the App Store, just not updated through that channel.
- m-p-3 6y agoSeems odd they're not taking advantage of their own app store to update these apps without requiring an OS update. Even Google does it on Android.
- dhosek 6y agoWith Android, it's not so much that Google does it out of choice but because they have no control of most of the phones and there were (still are?) huge numbers of phones which don't even have access to OS updates or get them very late. Google was forced to pull a lot of functionality out of the OS level to be able to keep people up to date.
- saagarjha 6y agoMost of the code is in system frameworks, not the app that you download.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoGoogle does that because they aren't able to make sure that every android device gets an update. Since Apple can make sure of this there is no reason to have a second way to update their apps. App store updates won't magically make the mail app devs work faster or produce more.
- m-p-3 6y ago> Google does that because they aren't able to make sure that every android device gets an update. Hopefully they'll be able to remediate that in the future and separate the core OS deployment from the vendor-specific files. Let Google pushes the OS, and the vendor could update their own stuff separately / through the Play Store. At least there is "Project Mainline" that helps keeping those devices secure. > App store updates won't magically make the mail app devs work faster or produce more. Definitely, but it would make it easier to deploy a patch without having to wait for the next iOS update.
- Havoc 6y agoInteresting. Didn't realise the capital letter thing was a bug. I just assumed it's because I've got both English and German enabled and well Germans like their capital letters
- mcswell 6y agoJA WOHL!
- obelos 6y agoThe autocorrect in iOS 13 is fully worse than what was in 12 or what's available in any of the 3rd party keyboard apps that I've tried. The only reason I stick with it because of privacy issues.
- beervirus 6y ago> The keyboard autocorrecting to random names aggressively Holy shit how many times has my phone thought I was trying to say "Amit" instead of "about"? It's not like there's even anyone named Amit in my contacts.
- nikanj 6y agoMy favourite is Mail telling me "Message has not been downloaded from the server". And no way to tell it to download it.
- CamperBob2 6y agoOr my favorite, "1 Unsent Message." Yeah, thanks guys, that's super informative.
- saagarjha 6y agoIs your outbox empty?
- CamperBob2 6y agoNo: https://i.imgur.com/Hsmx5jc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Hsmx5jc.jpg I swear, if they dumb down iOS any further, I'll have to rent a monkey to troubleshoot it. (I imagine that what it's really complaining about is the size of the .mov attachment, but I keep it around for amusement's sake and to remind me to be considerate of my own users' needs.)
- tekknik 6y agoI mean it’s succinct and expresses the state more.
- CamperBob2 6y agoReminds me of the old koan: You step into the river but the water has moved on Your data is no more
- ebg13 6y agoMy favorite is that calling someone with facetime disconnects you from the wifi unless you go into airplane mode.
- CamperBob2 6y agoOr not being able to permanently disable the stupid handwriting input 'feature' when switching to landscape mode. Pro tip, Apple: when a Google search for "disable $FEATURE_XYZ" returns over one million hits, it's time to walk it back, and possibly fire the product manager pour encourager les autres.
- WiseWeasel 6y agoI had to disable Auto-Capitalization in the General/Keyboard settings in iOS 13 for sanity, and it's absolutely been a win. I second your hope that it's fixed in iOS 14 but don’t dare update to a .0 release.
- Tagbert 6y agoI believe that that bug was fixed in the most recent beta.
- saos 6y agoor draft imessages dissappearing or not saving when flicking between various other apps.
- Uupis 6y agoI've had to switch to FastMail app with iOS 14, because Mail.app sends emails from the wrong alias – from an address other than what's selected in the From field. I thought I'd messed up, but no, Mail.app just doesn't work correctly. Befuddling.
