I went out of town on holiday in April so naturally I waited until after my return to update my Apple equipment's software.īy delaying OS upgrades, I reduce the number of software downloads as well as enduring painful months of piss poor software. In fact, my primary iPhone is still running iOS 14.8.1 I might upgrade it in a week or so. That's right, I upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey last month (macOS 12.3.1).
In fact, in recent years due to Apple's declining software QA, I don't upgrade to the newest OS when it comes out, I usually wait six months or so.
That said, the installation time is about the same so it's an hour where I go do something else (exercise, cook, garden, whatever). A 2.2 GB update takes about 20 minutes to download for me. I'm on a pokey DSL connection so I'm subject to the similar download speeds. I've got clients who still have 12 megabit DSL connections, patches like this are a pain for them.
I mean, that's only slightly smaller than the entire current Xubuntu OS release, for what is ultimately a minor patch.
