I kinda wish Apple and Google would work on this first-run case. It's especially bad when you buy a new phone and set it up on-the-go, only to find the battery is dead before all the apps have even installed. Not a great experience.
They could do all the app installs and setup on a virtualized iphone in the cloud, and then just copy over all the already-configured apps.
- kaba0 3y agoI’m not convinced that would be possible. It’s almost by definition: prod is the ultimate testing, and especially in case of such a complex product and massive user base, there is simply no way that a few won’t have issues, no matter how much testing was done by apple.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoApple sold 232 million iPhones in 2022. A .01 percent failure rate is a small city of pissed off people.
- londons_explore 3y agoIt isn't a few - every single new user who is upgrading from an old phone has a bunch of stuff to copy over. That process taking hours and leaving a hot phone with a dead battery is a really bad experience.
