Apple’s iOS 10.2.1 update, despite promoting bug fixes and better device security, has not entirely fixed problematic glitches from the past, such as reduced battery life, frozen screens, and automatic app reboots.
Not everyone is noticing their technology glitching but has made note of any physical problems with their electronic devices, such as iPhones, that do not have a direct correlation to any software updates.
“My battery used to die a lot on my first iPhone 6s because there was a battery leak,” junior Devina Choksi said. “[…]It would die at 30 [percent].”
Others, such as sophomore Renzie Enaje, feel mainly frustrated with Apple’s lack of concern in regard to fixing device glitches as they continue to make new models.
“I actually think that instead of inventing new designs, they should be focusing on how to fix these problems especially when it is very common for a lot [of Apple customers],” Enaje said. “It’ll definitely help them with getting, even more, people to buy their products.”
Senior Bruce Stewart shares the same frustration but takes a different position on Apple’s little focus on fixing their products’ problems.
“I believe that Apple should do whatever they can to retain their customers,” Stewart said. “By fixing their devices they show their customers that they are there for them and also show their customers that they’re not afraid to admit their mistakes.”
Numerous Apple users face or have previously faced, technology issues, whether it is a battery leak, random app reboot or software glitch. Despite this, many people feel as if Apple is prioritizing creating new technology over improving the electronics they have already released.
