Still on 12.something.something on my iPad Pro, even with full WiFi, that thing refuses to back up and update.
Maybe I’ll be able to update my phone but I’m not holding my breath.
So I probably won’t get that iPad mini after all: Apple has made it impossible for me to back up and update unless I’m in the middle of an Apple store in the city, which is tough luck because I don’t live anywhere near an urban area, I hate the city and I avoid crowds at all cost.
So I’m not updating, I am literally waiting for my devices to die off.
It’s too bad, really: Apple did work better than any Android device I’ve had, but this mania they have to keep their customers jumping through hoops to stay under the ever watchful eye of the Apple powers that be just so they can have working devices is really getting old.
Yes, in my opinion, Apple makes better devices.
But their keeping us tethered to their stupid cloud via WiFi is a major turn off.
And I have no answers, I won’t remain in this market for much longer.
And yes, Android controls their customers too: Samsung gets off on forcing updates on their customers when they don’t want them.
So I’m out.
I bought subscriptions to paper newspapers to be delivered at my house like I did 30 years ago.
I ordered new checks from my bank so I can pay my bills via snail mail, like I did 30 years ago.
I cleared 2 walls worth of shelves for books.
I just can’t mind **** myself into self generated frustration because the powers that be decide to be cunts.
