Any issued encountered by our resident Apple experts?? Thanks! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | ||

Forbes is my goto for update news: Link I may have to bite the bullet as IOS 14.8.1 isn't getting any more updates apparently, so it's 15 or nothing. | |||

Thanks, Pyker. And a helpful hint for those that may not do this...I ALWAYS do these updates via iTunes so that I get a full backup of my current iOS/phone before updating to the new iOS version. If something then goes amiss, I can restore from its last known good state. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

I also like a full backup before updating, so I do an iCloud backup while on WiFi, then I do an update on my iOS. Same outcome but I don't use iTunes. So far, 15.3 is flawless. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
No problems here. I usually wait for at least a week unless there is some critical security problem when they suggest an immediate update. If you have a Apple watch there is a minor update to the recent one, less than a week after. I don't know what that's about but press speculation said it was mostly about battery life. I've done both of those with no problems noticed. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Why...As in why is Forbes your goto for Apple update news, and not a more specialized 'Apple specific' tech expert/industry resource? ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

No issues at all. In fact, my phone is more responsive after 15.3 ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

When they say it's a critical update with security fixes it get's my attention. Okay... why is Apple seemingly having updates after updates? The bad is there seems to be a bit vulnerability... the good it seems they jump on it pretty quickly. I've been in the Apple world for quite a few years and have never experienced a serious breach. I can't say that for Windows. I've had serval issues that required cleaning the system, a complete reinstall along with all programs and all data. Just to clarify, I'm a Windows guy with my main desktop. I'd go all Apple except I have some legacy PC apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro) that I would lose if I dompted Windows. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

For the few PC apps I use, I spent $200 on an off lease PC, placed it in the basement by the furnace, and use the Microsoft RDP client to use it. It works great for playing a few games and doing my taxes with TurboTax. When full screen, it is just like Windows running on my Mac. It eliminated any need to stay with Windows full time.

Just got my booster. 15.3.1 working perfectly. | |||

I can't tell if I'm tired, or just lazy |
Updated to 15.3 a couple week ago and it has been running fine. Just downloaded the update a few minutes ago. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."
