Ios updates zijn toch geen firmware updates zoals de titel doet vermoeden?

[jollewieringa]

Hoe zou je het updaten van de firmware anders noemen?

[AtlAntA]

Een besturingssysteem is geen firmware.

[Peebz]

Ik vind dat te kort door de bocht.

Firmware zit tussen de hardware en applicatie-software in.
Meestal niet eenvoudig wijzigbaar en zeker persistent voor enige tijd.
Een embedded besturingssysteem wordt doorgaans als firmware betiteld.

Een besturingssysteem is software, maar kan ook firmware zijn. Het ene hoeft het andere niet uit te sluiten.

Ik heb de laatste tijd vaak gezeur met muziek van mijn iPhone over bluetooth in de auto.
Misschien is dat nu opgelost.

Dat zijn de releasenotes van 11.3.0. Als je die al had dan veranderd deze 11.3.1 update daar niets aan.

Mag ik er de auteur van dit artikel op wijzen dat iOS geen freeware is - want het is gebonden aan de aankoop van een ipad of iphone - en u mag dat niet draaien op non-apple hardware.

"Freeware is software that is available for use at no monetary cost. In other words, while freeware may be used without payment it is most often proprietary software, and usually modification, re-distribution or reverse-engineering without the author's permission is prohibited."

Je hoeft dus niet te betalen voor iOS, zelfs niet als je naar een zo goed als nieuw OS gaat door van iOS 8 naar iOS 11 te updaten.

"Freeware, although itself free of charge, may be intended to benefit its producer ..."

Let op het verschil tussen freeware en open source software:

"The source code of freeware is typically not available, unlike free and open source software which are also often distributed free of charge."

Als ze nou die bug er is uithalen waarbij m'n volume af en toe spontaan word gemute. Ben benieuwd of meer mensen daar last van hebben (iPhone 7 Plus met iOS 11.3). Dan staat m'n volume ineens op 0, en kan ik deze weer opnieuw opschroeven. Zwaar irritant.

[marcelz37]

hebben ze ook het probleem bellen over 4G en hol klinken/hard zacht over het KPN net werk verholpen.
heb nu bellen over 3G gezet om verstaanbaar te blijven. Iphone 8 provider KPN ?
iemand hier problemen mee ?

[WhiteDog]

Im on 12.0 alpha.
