    Yes, the existing emoji are age-bigoted. We need a set that are hunched over with long beards and canes. Children too. We desperately need baby and little kid emoji in all colors and both sexes. Shameful that Apple forgot those groups too.

    Weren't those the only emoji we had previously, so not new?

    And (my) Asian skin tone seems pretty well represented by the new light tan emoji?

    Why don't you justify your claim of hypocrisy first, before asking me such an asinine question? And where in the hell did I "agree" with anything you said?

     

    "Riddled" with bugs? That hasn't been my experience, nor the experience of millions of others. Does it have bugs? Of course it does, as has every single piece of software ever written in history, and as will be the case until the end of time. Noone ever said iOS8 is perfect, so enough with the childish strawman.

    Only the first paragraph showed on the main headline when I read it, hence my question.

    iOS 8.3:

    "Addresses an issue where a username created on AppleInsider is correctly displayed as 'bslawyer' instead of 'brlawyer'."

    Cripes, I just checked and mine went from 1.6GB to 18.4GB!  Obviously I knew it was a bit screwed beforehand, but man, that takes the ticket!

    So it adds Wireless CarPlay for all those cars that never got CarPlay, as allegedly promised.  (Honda specifically.  They claimed their 2014 cars would have it, but no CarPlay even in their 2015 models).

    iOS 8 was riddled with bugs, that were experienced by many users.  Bluetooth issues, Wi-Fi issues, 8.0.2 killing the 6 and 6 Plus, among many other bugs. So you talked to millions of other people and confirmed they did not have problems with iOS 8?  Apple has made plenty of mistakes and openly admitted to them.

    Lol.. Hypocrite.



    On another note.. I don't see much choice in emoji skin tones, in fact none at all. The Caucasian tones before were quite nice and now it's some weird Simpsons hybrid.



    Gee, another fucking troll here, how nice, BR must be getting his buddies to come onto the site...

    2 questions...in 2 parts...

     

    When a new version of iOS is made available, what percentage of iPhones can download and install it on day one?

    When a new version of Android is made available, what percentage of Android devices can download and install it on day one?

     

    When an update to iOS is made available, what percentage of iPhones can download and install it on day one?

    When an update to Android is made available, what percentage of Android devices can download and install it on day one?

    You are one of the biggest trolls with your Apple Kool-Aid drivel.  iOS 8 was riddled with bugs, that were experienced by many users.  Bluetooth issues, Wi-Fi issues, 8.0.2 killing the 6 and 6 Plus, among many other bugs.  Read something other than this rumor site and you get real, unbiased information.  So you talked to millions of other people and confirmed they did not have problems with iOS 8?  Yeah, just proves how full of crap you are, like most of your posts.  Don't call others trolls when you troll yourself claiming how "perfect" Apple is, when they have made plenty of mistakes and openly admitted to them.

    iOS 8.3:

    "Addresses an issue where individuals are unable to see the irony in going to an Apple enthusiast website and calling the people there who appreciate Apple products 'Trolls'."

    Yes, Apple is not perfect. iOS 8 had bugs in it (not riddled). iOS 8.3 will likely have bugs in it. iOS 9 will likely have bugs in it........feel better?

    He did clarify that all software has bugs, and will never be bug-free, and also disproved your attack on him stating millions of users... Had in fact, MILLIONS of people experienced these horrible issues, the Apple discussion boards would've had MILLIONS of posts, not the few thousand that were posted... And BTW, he never called Apple perfect.

    So far, it seems to do much better - more snappy, less buggy, and less annoying dialogs. If you installed third party keyboards (I use Swype) and had crashes with it, you should update as it seems to solve that issue. 

    As for touchID and passcode, not all app services know TouchID - if it doesn't support TouchID then it will ask for passcode. It has to be supported. 

    Copy/paste in Safari is still a bit wonky but much better than 8.2. In 8.0-8.2 many times I'd have to long press several times to get the select/paste options. Now they show up on the first long press. Copying image URL's is still missing for most websites (was there in iOS 7). Not sure if that's ever coming back but I do miss it. And I really wish Apple would fix the shake to undo sensitivity. Every time I pick up my iPad and put it down I get the undo typing box. Better yet I wish Apple would let us turn it off in settings.

    Interesting - my iPad mini now has about .7GB more available, but my iPhone 6 has about 3GB less available...

    Neglected to check my iPad Air before upgrading.

    The emojis with more than one face.. Like family and couples.. Are they gonna be Simpson yellow skin, yellow hair for good now, or can I change them somehow like the single face icons? That yellow hue is not pleasant in any way..

    Could not care less about emojis.  How about something useful, like letting me turn off vibration on the alarm clock?

    I noticed when I'm using my phone and get a notification it now gives me the name of the group chat when previously it just gave the name so you didn't know if it was a 1-1 message or from the group. However on the lock screen it just says person name and not the group text name.

    Please prove to this entire board by pointing to a SINGLE post I have ever made where I claimed that Apple is "perfect". Or even hinted at it. Just ONE.

     

    I was responding to a poster who claimed another poster was a "hypocrite", because they were happy about the 8.3 update. I asked them to justify their claims of hypocrisy.

     

    So please, find us a quote. Unlike you, I am very careful about the claims I make. You contribute nothing to this board except hatred of Apple and all it's product, blatant lies, and filth. Anyone can browse your posts and see that they contain nothing but mind-numbing attacks and mockery.
