Well this finally explains why Bluetooth kept re-enabling itself seemingly at random after I turned it off in iOS 11...

I agree with the EFF on this one, at no time was any of how this works communicated, particularly not the "turns back on at 5 am" quirk. These features aren't inherently bad, but lack of communication is bad.



See my other post in this thread, it is communicated.

It’s definitely settle. But it is there.


If that counts as communicating changes, it seems a bit Hitchhiker's to me. No user should be expected to notice and figure out the changed behavior for something they do that takes half a second, based on that 'communication'.

It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”


I meant that the buttons communicate what they do, not the Apple effectively communicated that they changed what they do.

That’s all.


I would still disagree with that, but I suppose we’re getting in to circular opinion waste of time territory now...
