A couple of updates ago, it also got screwed up (along with everyone else with this generation iPad) - and now it will get so behind itself that even things that I am typing now won't show up on the screen sometimes until maybe 5 seconds after I type it..
Apple's "Geniuses " can't even back off updates with a full restore from backup or a complete wipe of the units to factory delivered configuration... Apple phones are also this way, but are late enough technology (iPhone-6) where they did not slow down really bad...
BUT
That is how Apple sucks you into buying their latest phones! They put out updates that are somewhat mandatory that slow your current phone to a crawl..
Screw that... I have friends with Androids that are 5 years old and they just laugh at how Apple screws their customers...
I am done with them..
I'm not a fan of apple. I kind of think the companies all do that, send out ghost updates to slow you down, frustrate you so you go buy new. I think the androids are easier to use. I have an IT friend who hates androids because of the lack of security for the apps. He says apple checks and validates them before releasing to their app store, that is why you have to buy them all.

I use to have an iPhone and switched to Android ones years ago and have never looked back. Much happier now.

I never had an iPhone and probably never will after my iPad. I agree Randy it has gotten worse over time and I don't do a whole lot with it.

BTW afternoon peeps! Almost beer thirty!

Good evening everyone!

Interesting, Randy...we have a couple iPads that the kids use that haven't had issues with the most recent updates. I was a loyal Android guy for years, and finally switched to my first iPhone just over a year ago. Couldn't be happier with the switch. My work phone is a Galaxy S5 that continually frustrates me with software glitches and laggy interface.

Good evening guys...
My new phone is a Galaxy S7... Hopefully it will be relatively bug free.

Other than my cracked screen (my fault) my Note 5 has been good.
