At the beginning of this month, Apple released the new iPhone 14 series smartphones, which were pre-installed with iOS 16 operating system; after the product was released, Apple pushed the new iOS 16 operating system to old iPhone users, but soon pushed a small version update - iOS 16.0.2, which fixed a lot of bugs.
pre-OPPO executive Shen Yiren recently complained that iOS 16 should be the generation with the worst comprehensive stability of major version updates in recent years. The system has various small bugs such as heat control and signal, and is preparing to replace the folding screen mobile phone as the main machine.
Stability has always been one of the core competitiveness of the iOS operating system. Compared with various secondary developments of Android or domestic OS, iOS is an operating system natively developed by Apple and has also implemented cross-platform collaboration and other functions; of course, at present, only Apple's own products can be equipped with the iOS operating system, which is a closed-source product.
In fact, after upgrading to iOS 16, Xiaozhai's iPhone 12 also had various unstable bugs, and the battery life was greatly reduced; however, after upgrading to iOS 16.0.2, the battery life performance was greatly improved, and the subjective feeling was even better than the previous iOS 15, but the machine's multi-tasking ability was greatly reduced, and the background retention ability was very poor.
Xiaozhai guessed that iOS 16 has increased its hardware resource consumption, so the iPhone experience with 4GB of running memory will even decline; at present, only the iPhone13 Pro series, iPhone12 Pro series and iPhone14 series use 6GB of running memory, and other machines in recent years have 4GB of running memory.
This is not difficult to explain why this year's iPhone 14 uses Apple A15 chip, but has been upgraded to 6GB of running memory; if you want to get a better software experience, 6GB may be the "threshold" on the iPhone. At present, what meets this threshold is either high-priced products or new products, which Apple is still very "thief".
