![]() ![]() At iMore, Oliver is involved in daily news coverage and, not being short of opinions, has been known to 'explain' those thoughts in more detail, too. He has also been published in print for Macworld, including cover stories. Oliver Haslam has written about Apple and the wider technology business for more than a decade with bylines on How-To Geek, PC Mag, iDownloadBlog, and many more. Now I just say that the best device is the one that works like it did yesterday. The same went for iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and Apple TVs. I used to say that the best iPhone was an updated iPhone. ![]() And will they do that if the trust is gone? And who feels brave enough to leave automatic updates enabled? Not me. Yes, Apple's Rapid Security Response system might fix that, separating security fixes from the main iOS updates. And anything that stops them from doing that is a problem. Because it sometimes rolls out important security fixes that people need to install. If things are great, great! If not, hang fire instead.īut that right there is another problem, this time for Apple. Maybe we take a week or two to see what's going on and how other people fare. Unfortunately, the only thing we can do is stop installing updates immediately, mistakenly believing that they will make things better. We can hopefully expect these issues to be fixed in the next release, whenever that will arrive. Apple has had problems with HomeKit before, and a new architecture seems to be causing problems all over again after it was pulled from iOS 16.2 for similar issues. People say their accessories don't work, or work intermittently which might be even more infuriating. ![]() The Home app has gone backward in iOS 16.4, too. The first rule of software updates should be that they leave devices in a better state than before they were installed. We should expect software updates not to break things that were working before. And now they don't, presumably because some service deep inside macOS is broken. These are features that have worked for months or longer. The same goes for Handoff in general and it's just bad. Copying something on a Mac and having it appear on another device when you paste is the thing of magic. Universal Control is a mess right now, while other Continuity-based features are also dead in the water. ![]() Apple's latest round of updates has been problematic.įor example, people running macOS Ventura 13.3 and iPadOS 16.4 report that they can't make Continuity work anymore. ![]()
