It's an iOS bug. It happens now and then for me, and when it happens it drains all the battery juice. Still no fix to this date.

My Apple Watch regularly gets burning hot and drains the battery. Sometimes overnight, sometimes during the day. Very annoying. Reset several times, Apple Care was of no help, no fix to this date either. Only way to alleviate is to reboot the Watch.

This is since the existence of software and is going to stay with us until most people is ok to have 1/3rd of the features for the same kind of money. This will never happen, so bugs are here to stay.

The fact that software is buggy is not the customer's fault any more than food poisoning is the fault of people who eat too much.

It’s not the individuals fault on their own, but the market absolutely reflects societies tolerance of bugs and crashes. Microsoft started boiling that frog decades ago.

If you restrict your diet & make sure to properly cook your food you can greatly reduce your frequency of food poisoning

That wasn’t their point and I’m hesitating to believe you actually think it was.

This is like blaming people for not locking their door after they’ve been robbed. Yeah, they should have locked their door. But the person who actually did wrong is the person who robbed them.

Blaming somebody for not taking extra steps to reduce the chances of something happening to them that is ultimately the fault of another party is not right.

I don't agree with this at all. It is possible to both be in the wrong _and_ not be the villain. If I am dressed to the 9s, wearing expensive jewelry, carrying a lot of money.... and then I want down dark alleys.... and I get mugged; I am not the bad guy, the mugger is. But I'm also partially to blame, because I knowingly took actions that increased the likelihood of me being mugged.

Our society has elements that will harm us. It is up to us to take action to reduce the likelihood of that happening.

Pointing out that there are ways to reduce risk of something bad happening does not excuse the fault of a perpetrator. Neither is it victim blaming. This is particularly true when having a bad thing happen to you could occur without any individual acting intentionally, such as is the case with food poisoning.

It's defective. They need to fix it or replace it.

I get this if I use a usb c extension

could you link the bugreport or sth pls. apple has such weird bugs. on my iphone if i set an alarm and late at night i decide to tell siri to put another alarm she deletes the first one. did miss some flights because of that. and sometimes it doesnt ring at all. have a analog alarm for that now.

Apple doesn’t do public bug reports

Apple officially doesn’t, but the community does…

Apple doesn’t really care about bugs. They’ll get fixed if and when they feel like it.

It'll get fixed if they think it'll result in a lost sale. As they are effectively a vendor monopoly, this probably won't happen.

what a bubble to live in

How did you determine it's an iOS bug?
