Huh, guess that guy that anecdotally said insta might be the issue was right

I'm still quite curious what caused the issue for Instagram on the iPhone 15 to use more resources than the previous phones. They're not that different I think.

On user devices that may be the case, but display units don't have it installed, and all of them were still almost uncomfortably hot at times, in my local store

So… absolutely nobody at Apple on the team that was beta testing the new iPhone before release had insta installed?? Nobody??

As with all companies now striving to do more with less and do it faster, they've released a flawed product. Could QC have found this? Or is quality control something they deemed sufficient by simulation? The tech industry is eating itself alive right now with this crap.

Your analysis would apppear to be contradicted by the article’s claim

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

You’re expecting too much if you believe they formed their opinion by reading the article.

OS bugs are exactly what I'm talking about. The product cannot function without an OS and trying to pretend the overall design should be divorced from it is pretty silly. They knew of the issue and released or didn't when releasing. Is one of those better than the other?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

The OS had been in public and development beta for half a year. It’s one of the more robust new iOS releases that I can remember.

Is the fact that an interaction between some third party apps, the new OS and the new hardware causes problems an embarrassment? Yes. Should they have caught it? Ideally, yes.

Does it mean ‘the tech industry is ‘eating itself’ because it rushes stuff out? No, that’s silly hyperbole

With software is kind of hard, you can't be proactive, you can only be reactive. Especially with such a huge amount of applications. You can't predict what each application will do and how it will affect the rest of the system. Only thing you can do is wait for issue to happen and react fast. And am not even defending Apple, it's just the way it is. You can test and try and have things work for you but cause issues for others.

Great take. One of the main reasons I switched to iOS this year after always using Android is Apple’s relatively faster fixes. (Yeah Google is fast with the Pixel, but I’ve got more reasons.)

I don’t blame Apple. I wanted to share this article because some posters who experienced this were lambasted/mocked for claiming their phones overheated.
