Just to quibble, when you say a “full list of improvements” I’ve always suspected that Apple fixes the *real* problems but doesn’t always mention them in the list they release. For example, Safari had become useless under Yosemite for many web sites like Facebook and some wordpress sites, now it works great under the Captain. No fanfare, no mention of what was fixed to make that happen, but it’s fixed. Seems like that happens often – they don’t tell you what they fixed, but it got fixed.
whats the point of these emojies when they can only be seen by other ios and mac users…if they cannot be seen by all, they are in fact useless
That’s still a LOT of people, especially on iOS!
its not good enough. If apple are trying to create and us and them thing – that´s a problem.
Office 2016 STILL CRASHES!!! C’mon MS and Apple TALK TO EACH OTHER & FIX THIS!
