Well…so far no issues with updates (watch, ATV, MacStudio, phone and homepods). However, I always seem to wonder: should I first update the Mac Studio, then connect my phone via cable and run sync/backup and update from there, or update the phone first. Its rhetorical as best practice is to do it from my mac…not that reverting would be simple process…but having full backup is peace of mind.
I did run into one snag: the homepods took hours. And I mean, I ran Home app from my iphone, checked that my updating was set to automatic but then saw a red button Update Available so I pressed it. The updating of the homepods (pair, synced for stereo) started and the circle just went round and round.
And hour passed and I looked a phone and still doing it. It was now 2 hours and I looked and seemed hung on same updating. This is ridiculous. So I quit the app. But just as I was, the Home app said it lost connection. I checked the pods (get ladder, climb up to beam they sit on) and Asked Siri for any weather info and she said Sorry, your iphone is not connected. Hmmm. So I pulled the power to them…and then replugged in. Launced home app and started update again. Went to bed. This morning, I checked and all updated.
I don’t like how everything is taking longer or not clear on what its doing. Even on my work laptop, now doing the 15.2 update push from JAMF, expected “about 30 mins remaining” which start at 6:45am…
Adam: where did you get template or the iPhone screen grab outlines from for your images? I need something like that for work, that shows recent iPhone model but lets me paste in text or screen grab.
