Anyone else feel like they barely get to know a version before we have moved onto the next?

Some things change that never needed to. Editing text in iOS inexplicably got so bad in 17.
I am relatively new to iphone (i had a 3, then used Android until i for my 14 pro a year ago) so i just kinda figured that is how it was on iphone.
Tapping in a text field used to just put the cursor there. Double tapping would select the word, and triple tapping would select the whole sentence. At least I think that’s how it was. Now tapping almost always selects the word (sometimes it weirdly doesn’t, and it’ll select the first word of the next line if you tap the end of the line above… why would that be intended?).
If you want to place the cursor between two words, it best to use the cursor by long pressing the space bar or physically dragging the cursor (unless you’re very good with where you tap). If you want to add some text to a middle of a sentence, you’ll have to think very carefully about how to accomplish that without redundantly needing to retype some words that you had intended to keep.
Also, if an incorrect word gets auto-typed, hitting delete just removes the whole word instead of allowing you to just delete something like the last letter.
Seriously. As soon as I acclimate to all the new quirks, they push a new version that changes it again. And then you think, “am I crazy or is this worse?” Feel like every year I’m getting gaslit.
They just start to get bugs crushed, then boom owners as beta testers again
I’m looking forward to automatic/live podcast transcripts that is supposed to be coming out in March. Hoping they revamp the app completely because I tried using Apple’s podcast app this week in preparation and it isn’t great.
I’ve been using Overcast for a couple years and it’s got some nice features.
“Eagerly “ the same way people are eager for the latest shit Windows update.
New updates of iOS usually aren’t the shit sandwich Windows is
I'm not an iPhone user but I seem to recall reading about battery issues with iOS 17?
Every vendor can have issues, that's more surprising when Apple controls the software and hardware. For Microsoft they can only control the software.
