“So shortly before I wrote this column, I read an article from one blogger usually critical of Apple that quoted another blogger critical of Apple as if that was something significant,” Gene Steinberg writes for The Tech Night Owl. “The main focus was iOS 9 and the perceived problems with the latest and greatest mobile operating system from Apple. The complaints were typical. Poor touch sensitivity, losing Wi-Fi connections, app crashing and decreased battery life. As I said, the usual range of complaints one hears.”
“Now I’d be the last to say that iOS 9 was problem free out of the starting gate. But as of Wednesday, Apple has released three updates, with the first, 9.0.1, arriving just one week after the original release. 9.0.2 arrived the following week. Three weeks later, we’re at 9.1,” Steinberg writes. “So Apple has been busy, and each release fixed bugs and added some enhancements.”
“It’s not even certain whether [these two bloggers have even] tried the iOS 9 updates, and certainly they didn’t try the latest unless they are developers or members of the public beta program,” Steinberg writes. “What bothers me the most is not that they are skeptical or frightened of iOS 9. That’s their privilege. But a good reporter would or should look for trends, rather than the problems reported by a single user. Or at least that’s what I’d do.”
