M68000

As somebody still using a 2014 mini with Fusion Drive,  you can be sure I’m excited by this new version.  Seems like a great value,  add monitor(s) to suit.   Love the headphone jack being on it.  Still would like to have one usb-a port on the back,  but not a big deal.

This is all well and good.  But,  I’m really disappointed by iOS 18 so far.  Initially,
my iPhone 15 seemed okay but after a few days things seem slow on WiFi.  In general, there are a ton of reports about sluggish phones and non responsive screens. How could this have been approved for release???  Have been using iPhones since iPhone 1,  iOS 18 is likely the worst yet and the AI features are not even enabled for phones that support that.  Really looking forward to Apple to redeem itself and fix iOS 18.   iOS 17.7 was great and now I regret updating 

I’m assuming the hectic pace of keeping up with Wall Street schedule expectations is putting real strain on the development teams.  Is that right @Tim Cook?  So,  your company releases a half baked OS version instead of waiting for it to be ready and better tested?  And, you are okay with that Tim ??  Would be curious to know how
many people are in the QA team and how much hardware and variations have been tested OR not.  

Otoh iOS 18 is running just fine for me on a 15 Pro. 

You are lucky.  It seems to be hit or miss,  but there probably is common hardware involved causing it.  Perhaps it has something to do with WiFi also.  My friend shut off WiFi and said her phone works normally that way,
instead of being sluggish. Hope they fix this soon.

Wondering if Apple employees are having the issue and are aware of all these reports from people.  Amazing and troubling how this was not caught in whatever QA period they did.

I feel like Apple is running out of ideas with the iPhone which makes sense since it's a very mature product. This seems like a gimmick to me. 

As an iPhone 15 owner I just want to let those with older phones know that I think the Dynamic Island is fantastic.  It is capable of doing quite a few things.  Just this morning I had used Uber and the time estimate was showing for the driver, all while I was using another app.  you won’t
miss the notch at all from your “old” phone.  The Dynamic Island is far superior.
