  • Apple's iOS 11 installed on 59% of compatible devices, up 7% from November

    In all honesty kiltedgreen, I’ve not owned a modern android phone long enough to receive a major update ! So can’t comment on Android slow downs. 

    Last one I had was an S7 edge. Sold it and swapped back to iPhone before Samsung got the release out the door (typical to wait months after google releases a new major android version)

    Android is not the holy land for sure.

    Judging by ios11 neither is apple.

    Wish I had never upgraded to ios11 on my 7plus. 

    Ive since had many a day where battery life has inexplicably (ie no obvious app cause) been much lower in the evenings than it used to be as well as odd keyboard behaviour that I never had with iOS 10. 

    Also little things like the new pull up control centre not having night shift mode unless I force touch the brightness bar (so obvious Apple - not). Control centre is butt ugly too now. 
    The worst is swiping back on safari I often activate the task manager which is so damn annoying. 

    Fact : my iPhone is less user friendly with ios11

    Overall im not impressed with ios11. I can’t think of a single thing it has given me which is worthy. 

    Sadly it’s also notorious of apple that updates really do slow down old devices no matter what the media infers. Had it happen too many times myself. 

    No obvious way to restore back to ios10 either. As soon as I plug the phone into my Mac it’s already doing a back up. 

    And don’t even get me stared on the hard push to install High Sierra I get every time I use my Mac with a dialogue box that has 2 options - Install Later or More Details.  

    The android model isn’t better mind but Apple’s Practices aren’t that good either.

  • No, Apple did not switch to USB-C on its new MacBook Pros to profit from dongle & adapter sales

    I think it must be a fact that Apple is profiting from the situation, whether they intentionally made it that way or not. 

    They price their dongles absurdly high. I recently had to buy 2 dongles after purchasing a MacBook. Not impressed really. And whilst both were "discounted" they were still a rip off. One was £25! ... for a cable!

    It would definitely put me off buying the new MacBook Pro (amongst its other issues).

    i think they should offer them for cost price.
