When I updated my iPhone, I was amused that the first couple of minutes were "verifying update". Ummm, you didn't verify it before pushing it?

[paulk@writing.exchange]

@dillyd HAHAHAHA!!!!

I know what that does, though. the phone checks if the downloaded version didn't get corrupted on the way in. If that happens and there is no check on it, your phone might get bricked and then it's a paper weight.

Yeah, I figured something like that. They ought to reword the message to not make themselves seem incompetent lol.

[paulk@writing.exchange]

@dillyd I've seen many occasions where such wording is not picked from the view of an end-user of a device but from the view of a developer.
It's silly, indeed.

@paulk heh. Still better than Win11: “install Windows 11 to brick your machine LOL"

[paulk@writing.exchange]

@esantiestevan True that. installing that is basically handing your machine over to the evil overlord that is microsof~1
