Every upgrade from Apple just finds more ways to irritate me.
Top of my bloatware list is iTunes. It used to be I’d click on an audio file and it would just play (imagine that!). Now, it very often takes the operating system 10 seconds or more to figure out that I mean “stop playing THIS song and play THAT song instead.” Why? I have no idea. Same slow-as-molasses behavior with renaming files.
And... by the way, the upgrade isn’t showing up when I access the app store. Anyone else seeing it?
Agree particularly on Music on my iPhone. The controls for the song being played are these itty bitty tiny icons at the bottom of the screen about the size of a pinhead. It is just impossible to find and hit them while driving. The whole Music app is optimized to get you to buy Apple Music subscriptions rather than optimized for usability. That really bugs me.
I don’t have any problems with iTunes on my MBP (2014, I think). The UI keeps changing all the time and the challenge is to find out how to use it over and over again. But it starts playing right away for me.
Apple may be doing a regional roll out to keep the servers from being overloaded. I have a 25Mb/sec download speed and it took about 40 minutes to do the download and install on my Mac.
