"Background system processes running" wouldn't be obvious to non-technical users. It might even be distressing. If the process isn't something that can easily be explained to a regular user, I can see why Apple wouldn't try and communicate about it.
Though I could see maybe detecting that a user is a developer and showing a message only for those users
- nepthar 6y agoTrue, but it could be marketed a bit better: "Update finishing in the background"
- stuaxo 6y agoPeople hate updates, it would make them more aware they are happening.
- nitrogen 6y agoPeople deserve to know what their digital brains are doing on their behalf.
- m45t3r 6y agoThis is how Android shows it, and I think it is quite good because the phone feels slower while finishing the upgrade.
- Dah00n 6y agoBut unlike this (which is timed in hours) in Android it's done in a minute and then the notification is gone. Maybe Apple should start by doing the update in minutes first.
- m45t3r 6y agoI find it really bizarre that it takes hours to run whatever background process iOS has after an upgrade, especially because in Android's case this is AFAIK rebuilding the Dalvik bytecode while iOS should use a compiled language (ObjectiveC/Swift). Does someone knows what is iOS doing at the background?
