I don't see myself switching to an Android phone but iPhone updates do break things. Since upgrading to latest iOS, both my phone (personal and work) keyboards are unusable if I enable both English and Vietnamese keyboards. Looks like there's a bug in their keyboard prediction engine. It's been 4 months and I don't see they fix it yet.

Nobody's perfect, but I can't remember Apple ever shipping updates that brick their phones in two consecutive quarters.

At least Apple releases the images you need to restore your phone to a bootable state if something goes wrong during an update.

How is this bug manifesting? Do you mean literally unusable or something less serious but irritating? I ask because I have English and Spanish keyboards on my phone and don’t think I’ve noticed anything.
