OK, I've been using I O S since I O S 3.X if that tells you anything. So, needless to say, I've really seen Voiceover evolve, and I O S evolve as well in general.
I've always loved I O S. Never have I shamed it like some techy snobs do who feel like it's too locked down, get Android, Ajpple wants to cheat people, yoddie yodda. I'm sorry. I don't think one mobile platform's better than the other. They both have their plusses. However... This being said, I must say, this last I O S 7 update, at least on my IPhone 5S has almost caused me to reconsider that above statement. I'm not saying that these bugs are happening for everyone, and before anyone asks, yes, I have indeed restored to factory default, and not even rolled back from a backup, and it did no good. Siri Siri has become more of a joke lately than it has a help. Even in a quiet environment, half of the time, Siri not only doesn't hear me correctly, but a lot of the time, she doesn't even hear me at all. A lot of times, even when the phone is not even close to my ear, and the proximity sensor isn't even remotely close to being covered up, it still routes Siri through my earpiece rather than through my loud speaker. Ring VS Vibrate This hasn't cropped up until recently, and it's extremely rare, but it does happen, thus, I do have to document it. Even when my mute switch is disabled, meaning, my phone is not on silent mode, the phone still only vibrates. I don't even have vibrate enabled under settings>sound unless it's in silent mode. Alarm Clock Thank God for 3rd party apps, as I cannot seem to get my alarm clock working anymore. I think it may have worked once and once only since the latest 7.1 build update. Touch ID I'm finding that half of the time, scanning my finger print produces the msg to try again even though my finger is dead smack centered on the home key. Connectivity Almost constantly! I lose internet connection. My wifi itself never disconnects, however the dhcp seems to quit being auto detected. No, it's not a router issue, as none of my other non I O S devices have this problem. Yes, I tried resetting network settings, and it did no good. Yes, I reset the router. No good. Yes, I changed the wifi channel. NO good. Yes I changed the wifi protocol. NO good. Yes I changed the SSID. NO good. Yes, I updated my router to the most recent firmware. NO good. Even on LTE/4G, I find my internet going away almost constantly. Even a reset by pressing and holding lock and home together does no good. Resetting the springboard with a quintupple rapid press of the lock key doesn't work either 3 fourths of the time. I literally have to shut the phone off, wait about a minute, then turn it back on, and usually! key word, usually! it regains internet access at that point. I find that bluetooth is disconnecting more frequently, and the dis tance range isn't near as good. I get no more than 10 feet away, and it usually poopoos out. Audio quality with Voiceover Ever since the 5C and 5S have come out, I've found that turning up the volume really high causes distortion in both models. Well, as of the latest 7.1 update, I'm finding that it's gotten ever so slightly worse. It's very suttle, but I can definitely tell from 7.0 to 7.1 it's gone down hill. Plus it sounds way more compressed even on the high quality premium voices. Bad pronunciation Now, we have this issue with Symantha saying Convella instead of convert. What the bloody heck! Apple said they'd fix it, yet, I've not seen a fix. On the plus side I will! give Apple credit on one thing. The bluetooth bug we had in the last build indeed has been completely rectified which is absolutely awesome! I dono what's left to do aside throw this phone across the room. LOL! If even resetting it doesn't help... and, let me guess... none a you all have had even half these problems. I know, you don't have to tell me. I'm always in the minority. LOL! I'm not making these things up though, I swear to God!
