It is always comforting to see someone siding with a corporate giant against customers.
To begin with, Apple's mediocre iOS 16 didn't cause malfunction on third part apps only. It caused serious problems with Apple's very own camera app as reviews and comments on Youtube prove, on the top of many articles about the malfunctioning of Apple's camera app after the release of the iOS 16.
So , according to your excuses, it seems that Apple did tell Apple about the new iOS but Apple didn't care to make changes and updates because Apple might be an "abandoned ware" or consists of just two people working from home?
Seeing that the iOS 16 caused malfunction on Apples' very own camera app is not surprising that it also caused malfunctions in third part apps and it clearly shows that those malfunctions are caused by Apple's poor design so Apple is responsible.
When I mentioned camera apps I was referring to the professional ones only and they are certainly not in the house of hundreds. I am sorry I wasn't clear about that. I also should have explained that I was referring to video, not photography. There might be 15 to 20 camera apps for video recording that have the tools, the universality and reliability required to use in professional, paid video work. Apps such as Beastcam, Mavis, Moment, Promovie, Guerrilla, Procamera, Kinomatic, Filmic Pro. I have all of them.
None of them has been updated to work with iOS apart, maybe, from filmic pro's new version which was released at about the same time of Apple's iOS update. I didn't check it yet because I really dislike filmic pro but might be forced to use it for a while.
Beastgrip, for example, is working to update its beastcam app but didn't manage to do so yet. It is understandable that they are still working on an update when Apple's iOS 16 damaged even Apple's own camera app so it's a really mediocre iOS and a difficult one to work with.
Moreover, there are all sort of problems caused by the new iOS, much more than the usual when new iOS are released, as an article on Forbes shows, for example. Problems with Apple's very own apps, battery, etc.
Apple's is responsible all right and they are at fault as they released a mediocre, poorly designed iOS, which is clearly shown on Forbes's article 'iPhone Owners Report More Serious iOS 16 Problems' . That article says right on the first paragraph: "iOS 16 continues to cause problems for iPhone owners, despite receiving four updates in just six weeks of release. And now the latest update has introduced another significant issue."
So, Apple is indeed responsible but they don't care.
