yup if the app was compiled for old versions of iOS it'll get that iOS's look-and-feel too. so many APIs and visual assets change that they have to have that backwards compatibility in there or old apps would basically break or look totally hosed up, that's why they really want everyone to update, upgrade their poo poo and recompile their apps for new iOS versions. i wonder how long the backwards compatibility thing really goes for though. like would apps written back in 2009 or whatever still work on modern iOS? that'd be Microsoft levels of backwards compat which is totally not Apple's style.

I had some apps from iOS 2 (original 3rd party support) still hanging around because ~nostalgia~ and they all stopped working with the upgrade to iOS 9. They all worked on iOS 8 however.

Apple doesn't care about preserving backwards compat but if you write a vanilla app using all the standard practices and APIs then it tends to keep working. I never update my apps without a reason and I haven't noticed many issues.

Edit: Oh, never mind. I see it in Instagram now. That's slightly different from Snapchat's look, but the same idea. Yeah, they should make that the official look.

When I connect my iPhone 6s to my PC, iTunes says it needs to be updated to the latest version of iOS, but in the software update part of the iPhone's settings, it says it's already got the latest (9.2.1). What could be causing this? Anything to worry about?

My iPhone loves to stop WiFi syncing randomly and iTunes loves to stop recognizing it over USB once in a blue moon. What I do is I make sure everything is updated, then I restart both the phone and the machine, and it magically starts working like nothing was ever the matter. iTunes sucks enough on OS X, it's worse on Windows in my experience. But that'd be my advice. Just restart everything. The way the iOS -> iTunes interface works is loving retarded, and a few times a year I am very jealous of Android users with their ability to just browse the file system. Recently my friend asked me a question - her boyfriend was going away on a long trip (Navy) and she wanted to, um, put an album of pictures on his iPad. His iPad was unlocked (as in no passcode) but she didn't want to sync it to her machine, and she wanted to know the easiest way to get the photos onto his iPad without him knowing. We devised a plan where she created a new album in Photos and then grabbed her photos from Dropbox and added them to the album. You should just be able to move them over to your camera roll and then do a mass move to the album, but she couldn't figure that out, so what she ended up doing was SCREENSHOTTING every photo to get it in her camera roll and then cropping them with an app, then moving them into the album. If we could just mv remote/album/*.jpg local/album that'd have been loving fantastic, I really feel bad for how much effort she went through doing that.

But since his phone says he's got no updates and claims he's on the latest, he probably already did that update. edit: Also, iTunes wouldn't whine about iOS not being up to date, it would give him a clickable 'Update' thing. If iTunes rejects your phone because it's too out of date, it thinks something is totally fubar. Being a few revisions out of date won't stop it coming up, when everything is working.

Android has been doing this with their monthly security updates too, so you have to look at a separate build string to figure out what version you really have. Not a fan.

So I went to an Apple Store to get my screen replaced (cracked) and now my touchId won't work. I can input a new one, but on the lock screen it doesn't even register if its the right or wrong thumbprint. I thought going through Apple meant that this wouldn't happen?

Literally every bugfix ever just "fixes a thing and nothing else", including 9.2.1 which was given a different version number. It's clearly a dumb oversight you don't need to defend Apple with some "it's the same because it's different" logical paradox.

Their point is that everything on the phone works exactly the same way. The only thing that the new build affects is the process of restoring from iTunes. If they had used a whole new version number, instead of differentiating it with the build number, either a bunch of non-Touch ID devices would have been prompted to install an unnecessary update or we'd have a situation where the latest software version for some iOS devices is 9.2.1 and for others it's 9.2.2, neither of which is ideal. Better to have a special version of 9.2.1 that's only downloaded and installed in instances where it's needed: when restoring an iOS device through iTunes. That way everybody is on the same version number, the devices that need the update get it, and the devices that don't don't.

In software development, versioning is arbitrary, it's usually up to the QA Lead to decide what constitutes a new version. Apple's software (similar to projects I've worked on) adheres to the Main:point:subpoint:build scheme. You have a main version (e.g. 3.0), then a point release (e.g. 3.1), and, rarely, a sub-point (3.1.1). But all of these versions have build numbers. Mine is sequential, but Apple uses some wacky incrementing scheme. You don't think they cut the first 9.2.1 and released it, did you? No, each time it gets cut it gets an incrementing build. Whether the increment build is destined to be a version number increment is up to the guy managing the splits in the code. Most of the time you do not increment a version number for a single bugfix, a new build is cut. I've released newer builds of my product that are the same version, yet nevertheless are newer/fixed bugs. It's perfectly valid to be an updated 9.2.1 with a higher build number, it is technically a newer version of the 9.2.1 branch. All that aside, Apple's software update should behave the same OTA as in iTunes, IMO. All people eligible for the new 9.2.1 build should have gotten it regardless of the method.
