> "Angry Birds" once again launched much quicker under iOS 12, taking 40 seconds compared to 41. 

A 1 second improvement on a 41 second scale is not “much quicker”. Overall great article, thanks!

I most often take accidental screen shots when I am using one hand to put the phone to sleep or using one hand to raisie the volume. The fix doesn’t seem to address that. 

The other day I spoke to my nearby iPhone X and asked Siri to set a timer for 3 minutes. When the timer was done I told Siri “Do that again.” Siri responded by saying “hang on let me listen... hmm I don’t recognize that song.”

I then asked my nearby Echo’s Alexa to set a timer for 3 minutes. When it was done I told Alexa “Do that again” and it immediately set another timer for 3 minutes. 

I love Apple but am disappointed the Siri is falling so far behind in the basics. It feels like Siri is a soon to be discontinued product and that Apple has moved onto other things like Augumented Reality. 

How come Steve Jobs' estate isn't suing for confusion? 

what killer apps does jailbreaking offer these days? In the early days I used to jailbreak for things now built into iOS, like a personal hotspot, and email signatures.  Jay the founder of Cydia lives near me and told me that it is still a thriving business so there must be something of value. Perhaps WiFi password viewer? That was cool.
