My husband’s iphone 7 videos were fine without the update. We thought it might be other issues with my phone, but when my husband’s phone updated his videos they too became over exposed. When I tried to post this on Apple forums they would not allow it to be posted. I can’t find anything about how this update impacted our iphones on Apple site. Well the fix is in. Verizon wants 100.00 more over the cost that Apple charges for a new iphone if you buy from their store directly. The squeeze by phone manufacturers and telecom is becoming unsustainable for more and more Americans. We are retired and the phones worked fine for our needs. If Apple and Mr. Cook profess to be thoughtful and green about things why not stop playing games with these updates and leave basic phones as is rather than pushing us to overly expensive phones. These phones require toxic mining for the materials in them so the longer we can keep these going the better. This might just be the impetus I need to get a landline and detach from these smart phones and get a burner phone to take with me for errands when I am out. I think we need a 12 step program to detach from these addiction devices and stop all the tracking and listening to our privacy. It is a terrible time to do this since people are still struggling after pandemic. I mean how many mega yachts does Ms. Jobs need?
