I know I'm not going to win over Kitz, but they do seem to have high hopes for the new TV.
In all seriousness, I
may have been in the market to upgrade after xmas. The water leak and major work on my home mean that certain things will have to take a backseat for a while. Because I love and use the ATV a fair bit and because it needs an Apple product then I
may have upgraded to a newer ipad.
However, in view of the recent events Im far more likely to look at other manufacturers and not only replace the tablet, but the ATV with a different brand. It would still probably be cheaper to do it that way even with the added expense of abandoning the ATV.
Despite it being assumed that I am anti-apple, I would hardly have recommended an ipad Air2 for my dad about a year ago because I thought that would serve his needs best to do what he wanted. Ive quite openly said over the years that my ipods have had a hammering, that I love the ATV and I thought the ipad was sexi. I just feel very let down by Apple over the latest update.
PS Kitz, if there's somebody walking up and down outside the event, with a rude message on a sandwich board, we'll all know who it is.
Yep I wonder who that would be?
In fairness I am not alone, you dont have to search hard to find plenty of others like me with ipad2s or iphone4s who are not in the slightest bit happy about the recent OS who also have the same problems. Its not just me experiencing this - there are plenty of others also saying since the upgrade they are getting black screening with apps that previously worked fine.
I have a friend who has a house full of Apple products as he runs a business from home and has 2 young twin boys. He was a previous Apple man. He isnt any more and said he is now slowly moving back to other systems and manufacturers. Theres also plenty of posts online saying things like 'Jobs would be turning in his grave' and some previous fan boys are also now disillusioned. It should be a warning to Apple that there comes a point when people have enough.
I like having a rant when I feel its justified,
I moaned just as much about Windows 10. If Im happy with something then I'll say so but also if Im not then I will also say so... but when I feel that Ive been shafted by iOS 9 which turned a working device into a PoS then I will rant.
The long and short of it is, it would appear the ipad2 cannot really cope with ios9 as it doesnt have sufficient hardware resources. Apple havent given us a way to back out.. no doubt that it will be the push for many to go buy new.. and they know it.
