So I know by posting on here that I am having issues with my iPhone experience, I'm going to get hammered with comments and people thinking. Well what did you expect was going to happen.

Since switching from android to iOS, I've started getting involved in macrumors forum.

The forum is littered with hundreds of people commenting on bugs with the new iOS update. It seems to affect people at random. However, my wife was having a lot of issues and problems with her 5 after updating to iOS 8.0. Which was released two days before the iphone 6 came out. I was the first to download it and honestly haven't experienced any bugs with it that a lot of others are having.

But the simple fact that so many people are having problems with the update really pisses me off and really makes me question Apple in general. Or maybe just iOS. I know that Apple makes a really good operating system for their macs but honestly I think iOS doesn't even come close to the quality of OS X for their macs.

But how in the world can Apple release such garbage when it comes to system software updates. I had heard about people in the past updating their older iPhones to the latest versions of iOS and reporting that it slowed their phone down. But this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.

Heck one of main reasons I left android is because I wanted a phone that would receive the latest updates. But if they are garbage, then what's the benefit. People will keep saying, oh they'll release an update to fix it. Which is what ends up happening. They released iOS 7.0 last year and then they spent the rest of the year releasing minor updates to fix all the bugs.

So before iOS was released, the latest version was 7.1.2. I feel like I'm back on android installing custom roms that are in beta.

And as I was watching my wife restore her phone back to the previous version 7.1.2, I saw all of the headache and frustration it caused her. I saw her stress level go up because it was so difficult to do. Even then, she had to reset her phone twice. Then as she was fixing all of her notifications, she was getting frustrated with how difficult it was finding all of her notification settings. It's like you have to do a lot of digging through the settings to find how to adjust them and I was remembering how simple it is to change settings on an android.

I know I'm rambling and will probably get this thread closed down. Maybe not. But I had to shared frustrations somewhere.

I know it will be difficult for me to convince my wife that I would like to switch back just over this because my current phone is the fourth phone in two years. I sold two android phones because I was addicted to rooting and flashing roms. So I bought my 5s through Verizon's edge program and am paying an extra $37 a month for my 32gb version. It was by far one of the most expensive phones to get on edge. So I was able to talk her into my getting the 32gb 5s.

At this point I could find someone on Craigslist who is willing to swap phones with me but I'm only willing to accept an M8 or G3. I've seen both of those on there but again I'm not sure I could talk her into letting me back on android. I feel like of the two phones, the M8 is something if be more happy with. It will probably receive more updates than the G3 but the G3 has the better camera.
