Can't believe that anyone would be unhappy that Apple are fixing problems proactively.

Pretty common these days. Happens with other companies, and other products.

Unless it is an Android product, since you'd probably need Mint Chocolate Chip in order to run the latest version and your brand new device would be running the already obsolete Banana Split.

So you guys complain when something isn't fixed, and now you complain when something is fixed, especially proactively. You guys expect perfection in a world that is becoming more and more imperfect by the day. Absolutely NOTHING will make you happy or satisfy you, other than the apple hate.
