Sounds like a personal problem. I never put my expensive electronic devices in any situation where they can be mishandled, including forcing them to endure all my weight by sitting on them. To me that's a very foolish thing to do. I treat my expensive electronics with care because I intend to either resell them for a profit or hand them down to someone else when I am done with them. > Sometimes we have decent connectivity, sometimes not.

Realistically, you don't have to live *in* a city to get good network access - just near one. It's quite possible to have good connectivity living somewhat far away from a city. It's only when you get really far away from everything that you start to have problems. > It just seems way messed up that Apple's flagship mobile os can't cope > with bad connectivity conditions and drains the battery trying, they > seem to believe everybody lives in Cupertino; been there, have the > scars, not going back.

Then again, considering it's clearly your choice to spend that much time in areas with crappy connectivity, how hard is it for you to simply turn on Airplane mode once you get there, and flip it back off when you leave? >>> Suggestions for putting a bug in Apple's ear? >> >> If you want to file a big report, you want: >> >> <https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/> > > Thanks, but I'm just going to wait and see.

I like the changes to notifications; but the splitting of the control panel into separate pages seems arbitrary. It complicates what was otherwise simple and seems like a step backwards to me. For a day or so after the upgrade, I thought iOS 20 was limited to only mirroring in AirPlay, until I realized there was a second control page that had the normal AirPlay control I needed. I hope they reverse the decision to split it up into multiple pages, personally. > And the addition of the Home app, > which thankfully can now be disappeared. I like the Home app, and hope to one day use it with my network cameras. I like that you can hide some builtin apps too. > Some things work better, others no worse mostly.

Airplane mode would likely fix most of your network-related issues. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.
