WARNING! iOS 13

iMessage and texting does not work right. Nor can you tap, easily, the button to start a iMessage. I would wait.

13.1.1 or 13.1.2?

Re: WARNING! iOS 13

13.1.2. Did not get a message for 13.1.1. And just tripped on 13.1.2. I plan to go back to 12 if possible. 13 is bad.

Interesting. Any other compatibililty issues with 13 and anything else you've come across? Not yet with PM and so far 13 seems stable on iPhone 6. I may need to rethink until 13 is stable with PM.

Apple has a history of "breaking" older iPhones with newer iOS versions.

Updates on newest iPhones tend to be awesome or harmless, updates on middle-aged iPhones tend to break little things which worked perfectly fine before, updates on elderly iPhones tend to be crippling. iDon't iPhone but iKnow some people who do (and some people who don't anymore, precisely because forced iOS updates kept breaking their stuff). Seems that Apple wants you to buy a new phone every couple years, for some people it's heavyhanded enough that eventually those new phones are anything not made by Apple.

@ajkmIt works fine for me without any modification on an iPhone XS.

Yep, you're right. Updating from iPhone 6 isn't really an option if I'm coming over to PM as it would lock me into the hideous Rogers for another 2 years and I'm not ponying up $1000 for the phone!

Hoping that iOS 12 on iPhone 6 will be fine...

@ajkmAs long as you are happy with the camera.. then iPhone 6 with iOS 12 will be fine.

Are these issues with iOS bugs, or issues that are causing the update to not mesh with Public Mobile?

If your going to come to PM your only choice without paying $1000 is to keep your iPhone 6 or move to a mid range Android. There are plenty of Androids that are $300 and under that do fantastic job but not same as iPhone. If you really wanted iPhone you can always get a used phone or slightly older discounted model

My battery health used to be at 87%, then iOS updated and suddenly my battery's health has significantly degraded and I have to replace it ☹️

@tsparkle21 around here there's a guy that puts new batteries in iPhones for 40$ and after that it's like a new phone again! Great investment, I got some put in my wife's and kids older iPhones 6s and se and it last all day again so if you can find someone where you live for around that price it's a great investment!

To start a message or cancel the touch sensitivity is very poor. You have to press numerous times.

Any areas like iCloud or contacts that you can add a pic to will add pic, orient it, save it and poof disappears.

Not sure of your comments. I have an SE and expect to see numerous updates over the next few days. If that is truly what Apple does then if they expect me to buy a new one.....they have lost me and many others. The 4S still works well!! This iOS 13 has been their most ambitious upgrade of many changes they have ever done and with numerous errors. Something we should not accept and something they need to do a better job of.

I would think it is 100% an Apple problem.

From what I have checked iPhone 6 will not be offered ios 13.
