I'm constantly being harassed to set my iTunes password and to update my iOS on my iPad. I don't want to. Leave me alone, apple. This is my iPad, not yours.
Same here. I don't use my iPad all the time, more as an ebook and paper reader, and the experience is now getting similar to the experience I have with my Windows pc, which I also only use occasionally (for gaming), and which needs half an hour of updates on every start.
If you think about it, this
> needs half an hour of updates on every start.
is directly caused by this
> only use occasionally
If you want a secure system but this bothers you, just leave the PC on once in a while.

My PS3 is terrible for this.
Assuming the version of iOS you're running has significant security flaws, what should Apple's preferred behaviour be here?

Discourage disabling the harassment/auto updates but ultimately make it possible?
Imagine if windows just kinda foisted it upon you. People would be upset.
Android updates are very un-intrusive. It's just a notification and ends up in the same black hole unread emails and facebook friend requests go [1].
I wish Android updates were more aggressive.

[1] anecdata: I know 4-5 older people with Samsung phones. 100% of them had received an update notification and had ignored it
> Leave me alone, apple. This is my iPad, not yours.
That's where you're wrong.

All great points. For me, connecting to wifi networks has been a huge pain with iOS 10. In settings, I'll see a checkmark next to the wifi network name, but no wifi signal icon in the status bar or connectivity. Stays like that for 2-3 minutes before actually connecting.
Please file a bug whenever you see this. If you're using betas there's an app called Feedback Assistant to do this, otherwise it can be a lot of work to actually get the sysdiagnose logs.
Tried to file a bug through the online bug reporter for a few things recently only to be unable to submit. The thing just sits there with a loading indicator indefinitely and the bugs just sit in draft mode.
"Randomly asks me to verify my iCloud password without me initiating anything"
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's been improved in a recent iOS 10 update. It's now a section in the settings app and a badge tells you that you need to enter your password.
https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/i...
iOS:
- Randomly asks me to verify my iCloud password without me initiating anything. It is neither subtle or informs me why it is asking.
- 3D Touch is still inconsistently implemented with varying degrees of feedback. A quick example is that you can "peek" into a music album, but not a photo album. 3D Touch in MacOS uses haptic feedback for a hard press irrespective of an underlying action, but not iOS.
Apple Music:
- No feedback whatsoever when music pauses for various reasons like low signal, bluetooth disconnect, or general playback error.
- With a low cell signal, many times it will just outright refuse to play a song already in my library. How do I know this? If I activate airplane mode, it will play music without a problem. No feedback, just a poor experience.
Sometimes I really wish Apple would heed their own advice. I'm hoping this is fixed in iOS 11
