Wow, Apple, just wow. iOS 15 is really still in beta testing isn’t it?
I get it, your under the pump to release updates, but this is really REALLY shoddy work Apple.
I should have guessed when there were a bunch of guides on how to roll back to iOS 14.8 when iOS 15 was released, but it’s just really poor.

So today – September 29th, is my 50th birthday.
So to all you people who have been hanging shit on my turning 50. I say
50 is awesome!
I’m not really that surprised about the arrogance of Apple’s security team, but this is just plain idiotic.
Apple now, it seems, just doesn’t either publicly acknowledge, or doesn’t really *want* to deal with it – at least publicaly.
This article is from Macrumors.
It’s simply a disgrace that Apple, with all the billions of dollars available to them, want to take the cheap option.
Wow, just wow.
It seems that iOS 15 is filled with bugs (not that I’m surprised really).
Why do I think that if Steve Jobs were still in charge at Apple, these bugs wouldn’t be an issue as, being a former Apple employee when Steve Jobs was still in charge, he wouldn’t have ever allowed such a shoddy piece of shit to be made public.
Anyhoo, here’s today’s goodness (or badness?).
From Macrumors comes the reports that some users are plagued by incorrect ‘iPhone Storage Almost Full’ Alert After Updating to iOS 15.
Yeah, thank god I’ve somehow been spared from this.
I’m sure that this won’t be the last bug.
I’ll quote W. C. Fields here: “Go away kid, you bother me.”
I don’t know about you, but the lead up to Apple’s iOS 15 for phones, tablets and even the Apple watch OS 8 was a bit of a disappointment.
It would appear that most of the updates occur behind the scenes.
Here’s the list of what’s new when compared to iOS 14 – thanks to the people at Macrumors
Well, for Melbourne, Australia it was an earthquake anyway.
Here’s a screenshot from Australian Geoscience website.
The large red dot was where it occurred.
It was a 6 on the Magnitude scale, or a “what the fuck was that?” on my weird shit-o-meter.
Nothing was damaged or broken, and to be honest, I was a little surprised by it, seeing as the last earthquake to hit Melbourne was about 35 years ago. O_o
So today, I read that a 3rd party has produced a mini USB-C hub for an iPad.
Great (or so I thought). But here’s the kick to my nuts – the interface on modern iPads is fucking USB-C not a lightning connector that’s the default even on my iPhone 12 Max Pro (which is the current and latest version of the iPhone).
Why, why Apple do you insist on doing this to me? The lightning connector is an interface for – amongst other things – power. Don’t mess with it. It just fucking works!
If you insist on changing to USB-C (I can’t imagine why) then do it for ALL your devices!
