The hierarchical file system is a legacy concept anyway. It's a terrible interface for almost everybody.

My iPhone is one of those that has had its battery life screwed by the iOS 6.1 update. Can't get close to a day's use out of it all of a sudden.

After hearing about iTunes, I'm not updating anything until I get the all-clear.

Weird; my phone is opposite. Finally get decent life. (4s).

you might need to power cycle/full recharge a couple times

People always complain about battery life after iOS updates.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 00:43 (eleven years ago) link
I know, but this time it's reeeaal. For me. Unless it's just a coincidence.
Anyway, don't know if it's related to this:
Vodafone Warns Against Upgrading to iOS 6.1
Apple have just put out a 6.0.1, so fingers crossed my problem will go away.

6.1.1, rather.

i had my first apple maps snafu yesterday. I didn't upgrade to ios 6 until google maps came out so I haven't used apple maps at all unless something else opens it up. I clicked on a highlighted address in mail for 178 India St., which is in Greenpoint Brooklyn, about a mile from where I was, to get directions, and it showed me 178 Indwa Street, which is in Johannesburg South Africa.

how close to south africa did you get before you realized

likely around 8469.289 miles, give or take a few (from johannesburg)

i asked siri for directions to heathmont railway station. after the third try it said it couldn't find 'sheath launch railway station'. i typed 'heathmont railway station' into maps and it took me to a railway station that was not heathmont railway station.

at this point i am very genuinely unsure how apple manages to scratch its arse without falling over

there's an app for that.

What are the chances they'll relent and make "Open in Google Maps" and option when clicking on a address?
― Je55e, Monday, 18 February 2013 22:09 (eleven years ago) link
Never
― Jeff, Monday, 18 February 2013 22:21 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe it's because Apple is a Bay area company, but Apple Maps is actually pretty cool for local stuff here.

i finally upgraded to io6 on my iphone 4 and i don't know if it's smoke and mirrors but safari feels like it's been optimized up the wazoo
i also realllly like the weird little pull-down animation for reloading that you see in mail
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
yeah seems like safari is waaaay faster than chrome
― well if it isn't old 11 cameras simon (gbx), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 23:36 (eleven years ago) link
Safari is definitely way faster than Chrome; Chrome (and other third-party apps providing browser views) doesn't have access to the optimized javascript engine that Safari uses.
― my god i only have 2 useless beyblade (silby), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 23:41 (eleven years ago) link
so any third-party browsers on iPhone will be less fast by design.
there is a jailbreak hack to make all browsers on iOS use the same Js engine. makes chrome awesome.

Still hesitating whether to upgrade my old iPhone 4 to iOS 6. Still worried it will turn into a piece of slow ass junk overnight
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 28 March 2013 07:30 (eleven years ago) link
iOS 6 is great IMO. The only bad aspect is no integrated google maps but otherwise I do not regret upgrading

had my first apple maps snafu last weekend
staying at a friend's house in a remote area, was sent on an errand to the closest shopping destination, walmart, ugh. surprisingly walmart did not have everything we needed, so I searched apple maps for the nearest kmart. it directed us 10 minutes away on the highway and when we pulled up in front of a weed-ridden lot filled w/ fresh dumpsters, it proudly announced 'you have arrived at kmart'. consulted google maps, which took us right back to where we came from, and lo and behold THE KMART WAS PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO THE WALMART like you didn't even have to go outside, there was a side exit inside the walmart, you walked down a mall hallway and right into kmart. didn't notice it the first time due to angle of buildings and lack of signage but good gravy apple wtf
― unprepared guitar (Edward III), Thursday, 4 April 2013 16:50 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. My work buddy and I ended up in a cul-de-sac in a trailer park (hand to God) when we were trying to get to a Vietnamese restaurant on a major boulevard in Fremont (CA, half-an-hour from Apple HQ) the other day.
― schwantz, Thursday, 4 April 2013 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
I tried the turn-by-turn the other day from the middle of London, and when I started it, it decided I shouldn't start from where I was but instead some other place half a mile away. Getting to the starting point was left as an exercise for the driver. Fucking Apple.
― stet, Thursday, 4 April 2013 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
if you hit the little arrow at bottom left on the screen it should reorient to yr current position?
― unprepared guitar (Edward III), Thursday, 4 April 2013 18:50 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it knew where I was (it had me on the right road, which was public), but the only instruction it would give was "proceed to start" indicating a point some way away. I cancelled out and tried again, no dice. Bizarre
― stet, Thursday, 4 April 2013 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
