![]() By lunch time it’s usually up to about 6 or 7 GB and by the end of the day it’s anywhere from 10-20 GB! Of course, I can quit Mail, relaunch it, and I’m back down to minimal RAM usage, but it’s pretty pitiful. If I launch it fresh in the morning it starts out using between 100-200 MB of RAM. My problem is that Mail has a memory leak. It has not been an issue, but I still wonder. MPG: the iPhone reception issue was my initial concern with my iPhone 6s Plus. but if Apple and Verizon can’t get this phone to have decent reception I’ll return it and make them give me some version of my old iPhone 5S back (though it will probably be a refurb and not in as pristine a condition as the one I traded in :(( As a physician, I have a legacy land line that saves my bacon. If it was a bad software or antenna design in the iPhone 6, you’d have thought Apple would have made changes to improve the iPhone 6s reception.Īt this point I can’t hold my breath for much longer. Supposedly it has the same antenna as the iPhone 6 and the internet is replete with complaints about bad reception with the iPhone 6. According to the Verizon engineer they have logged innumerable complaints of poor reception with the Verizon iPhone 6s. Call to Verizon and they did line tests and “reprovisioned” my phone but reception still sucks, though setting cellular LTE to “data only” helped a little in medium signal strength areas. Different phone but still has exact same issues. To Apple’s credit the Genius Bar did a full diagnostic on the new phone, couldn’t find anything wrong and but did a full retail swap. My 6s sitting on the desk immediately adjacent to my partner’s 5s shows 2 bars to his 4 and now I can’t consistently make or receive calls at home, which admittedly is in a low signal area but was fine when I had the 5s. That would fit with Apple’s perceived software development arrogance as compared to Mozilla’s pragmatism.Īnd I just upgraded from a Verizon iPhone 5s to a Verizon iPhone 6s. Maybe Firefox is just more tolerant of slop. Perhaps it’s due to these websites having sloppy code, but Firefox seems to have done a workaround. Ongoing updates never seem to fix the problem. Two points:Īpple Safari continues to have problems with a lot of websites that work just fine on Firefox and even Google Chrome. I couldn’t agree with you more about Apple’s hardware and software decline. Who would have thought that “lesser of two evils” would become the strongest argument for a Mac? James G writes: And yet, Windows is not a desirable alternative. ![]() Apple software quality is Cook’s responsibility ultimately, and he gets an 'F' both on iOS and OS X. The dismal software quality should be a source of massive embarassment to Apple. MPG sees this as juvenile delinquency in the Apple software develpment group there are no adults in charge. Apple Core Rot is spreading, metastisizing. For some users, backup fails too (now apparently fixed in 10.11.2). Every aspect of the system has been compromised, and iOS is prone to breaking key functionality too. It’s not just 2 or 3 things it is dozens of problems and 99% of the feckless fawning press thinks the emperor is fully dressed. It’s a sick joke.Īpple “quality” = garbage when it comes to software. If I jump through hoops and restore them from iCloud (a convoluted process), then I get duplicate entries for all of them on my Mac and my iPhone. My local Contacts and Calendar are destroyed. Yosemite destroyed VIP accounts (wiped them out), El Crapitan made them non-functional (to this day). It’s a big hit on my time (I get a lot of mail). The VIP accounts list feature is utterly non-functional. On my desktop, to this day the VIP accounts do not function (destroyed by El Crapitan), even if deleted and recreated. Fortunately, that’s not where I do most of my mail. MPG: this mirrors my experience: upgrading to 10.11.2 destroyed my mail accounts I had to delete the accounts and set them up again. Two of them were still configured in Mail’s settings, but had been disabled - I just needed to toggle the “Enable this account” checkbox for each of them They happened to be the accounts for my three most important email addresses. When the upgrade to El Capitan finished on my iMac, three of my email accounts in Mail were missing. Reader Don H notes that John Gruber (DaringFireball) has a post on Apple Mail problems. New software releases from Apple are now a risk to both data and workflow. The noxious trend has accelerated, and it now is a major issue in both OS X and iOS (major to users, ignored by Apple). MPG first wrote about Apple Core Rot in February 2013, having been troubled about declining software quality for several preceeding years.
