A fix days after the fix. Sigh... people used to buy Apple products because they didn't want daily Windows updates with mandatory 3 times reboot.

Keep in mind that if you're not the sort of person who checks updates frequently, you probably haven't actually seen either of these updates show up yet. In my experience it can take up to a week for an update to appear on its own.

So most regular people aren't going to upgrade to 16C101 at all and will end up on 16C104 in a week or so.

I’ve been waiting on the auto update for this one having heard all the negative press. Glad I did.

So now we're getting useless updates to allow Mr. Cook to play legal cat & mouse with Qualcomm. This along with the absurd response to the bent iPad debacle, hiding sales, etc. only confirms that Mr. Cook should consider retiring.

Updated because or data loss reports, possible.

Updated, device restarted.
Backed up in iTunes.

Noticed all WhatsApp messages and contacts gone. Checked the backup the ChatStorage.sqlite database missing in the backup! Lost everything WhatsApp after this update. Not nice going Apple!

I’m still on iOS 12 on my 6s. It’s working pretty good. I’m too scared to update to anything higher than 12 too many issues lately with Apple.

Wow, it seemed like they were rushing 12.1.2 out and yeah it appears they did. Guessing I'll sit this release out since everything is working okay on my Xr at the moment with 12.1.1.

I can just see Apple Support,

Customer: “I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 12.1.2 installed.”
Support: “Let me look this up… Which build of iOS 12.1.2 do you have?”
Customer: “What’s a build?”

That's likely not something that will play much of a role.

It does confirm the current ceo should retire? Mr. Cook is not going anywhere. Apple is a much bigger company after antennagate, it would stand to reason there is more hubris.

And what sales is he hiding that apples competitors show the world?

Wait, what?!
(Double checks the setting) Yup, it is still turned off, but the damn thing still downloads the OS update every time it is on Wi-Fi and plugged in to the charger.
Then you have a very demanding phone.

How does that answer the original posters question though? That generic list could pretty much be applied to any software release, ever!
