Yeah, I've been wondering if this is more related to the cold than to some nefarious planned obsolescence. Doesn't look like I'll be able to test this theory empirically for a few more weeks!

I'm not a sucker for marketing, so I own a cheap Android device. I can remove the back cover and slot in a spare battery, SD card and second SIM card whenever I like ;-) |

As for having a phone, it's been worth its weight and price over the years I have had one. In my work it's a valuable tool and when real smart phones became available it improved the quality of life for many in my line of work. |

Android is an operating system, iPhone is a device. Thus we’re either talking about Android based devices vs iphones or IOS vs Android. iOS devices dominate the developed world, Android the developing. Globally, Android devices dominate - there’s a lot more people in the developing world. Last edited by Marc40a; 12-31-2017 at 06:09 AM. |

Battery life on that one was two+plus days when used mostly for occasional text. My current SE is similar. I've had a no-OS-upgrade policy since updating on that one several years ago. As was pointed out in another thread, that could leave me open to security vulnerabilities. I try to minimize by not doing any banking on that phone. My main issue with the iphone has been the weak antenna and poor sound quality, both of which bear directly on UX, which Apple is famous for. Last edited by marciero; 12-31-2017 at 07:02 AM. |

Reviving this thread to bitch about Apple again.
So I got a new phone...an xs...and it is great. Battery lasts forever and the pictures are phenomenal, and the Face ID thing is convenient so I’m good there. What I have noticed though is now I have to reload my apps on my iPad on what seems like a daily basis. Is this another diabolical Apple ploy to get me to upgrade? It is so freaking inconvenient to try to open something that won’t. Not sure if it can be turned off or something? I can understand an app I haven’t used in a year or two, but it seems to be all the usual ones and anytime I want to use one.

I've never had this problem. I've got an iPhone and two ipads. Are you backing up to icloud? Did you restore apps and settings from a very recent backup when you upgraded your phone? |

Not sure what I did, but it has been happening for about a month. It is dangerously low on memory, and I freed up some space to help but it still wants to reinstall apps constantly.

I’ll have to investigate to see if that is a setting turned on inadvertantly. Thanks for the tip, btw.
