ot. iPhone updates

Prior to getting my new iPhone I would be notified that there is an update
available. I have had issues with my plus that have been solved by updating
the iOS system. Both times I had not received a notice that an update was
available that would fix the bug. Has anybody else had that issue, or is
there a setting that I have missed. If it is a setting, which one?

updates can take a few days to appear for everyone, or you can request
it at any time.

what version does your 8+ currently have? you may be up to date already.

as i said, it sometimes may take a few days for it to check on its own.
11.2 was released over the weekend so it may not have checked yet, but
if you prefer, just manually request it.

I called support and was advised to bring in the phone, which I cannot do.
I’ve been poked around and found there was an update, which I installed and
the problem was fixed. My question is has Apple changed it’s policy? Or was
this just because they were In a rush to get the update out. The problem
was a serious one. I had no access to my contact list and could not use the
phone except with Siri or Bluetooth.

no need.

I¹ve been poked around and found there was an update, which I installed and
the problem was fixed.

which is exactly what i said to do.

My question is has Apple changed it¹s policy?

no.

Or was
this just because they were In a rush to get the update out.

no.

there are nearly 1 billion ios users, which means the update is not
pushed to everyone at the exact same time. it's staggered over about a
week or so.

as i said before and will say again because you *still* don't get it,
it may take a few days for everyone to see the update, however, you can
check at any time and will get the latest currently available.

microsoft does the same thing, but over an even longer period of time.
creators update was *still* being rolled out this past fall, some six
*months* after its initial rollout, right around the time fall creators
update appeared.

The problem
was a serious one. I had no access to my contact list and could not use the
phone except with Siri or Bluetooth.

that's it?

The iPhone is a tool. I don’t want to have to check for updates every
minute. When there is a fix for a known bug, the user should be notified.
That is what they used to do

so are you.

nobody said you did.

Then when i have a semi=functional paper weight, how long should I wait
between checking for updates?
an hour?
a day?
wait a few days for an Apple store appointment?

Get real. I'm not in the mood for your crap. A lot of users don't use
Siri. Are you suggesting I go find a Bluetooth device so I can make a
call. This is not one of the debates that you like to get involved in.
It is a serious issue. As for Apple policy, I am making my own queries,
and when I have an authoritative answer i will let the good people here
know.

your original query was about why you didn't get an update
notification, which i explained multiple times.

if you're having a specific issue, that's different.

Get real. I'm not in the mood for your crap.

i'm not in the mood for *yours*.

you wanted to know why updates don't magically appear for all users the
moment an updates is released and i told you. updates are staggered,
something any major company does, for reasons that should be obvious.

once again, if you want an update and it hasn't pushed to you yet, you
can request it. very simple.

A lot of users don't use
Siri. Are you suggesting I go find a Bluetooth device so I can make a
call.

nobody suggested anything remotely close to that. more of your made up
idiocy

This is not one of the debates that you like to get involved in.
It is a serious issue.

i never said it wasn't serious. more of your made up idiocy.

i told you what their policies are with regards to updates.
