Does this only apply to UI changes? Or can i fix, say, a logic bug as well?

Also, what kind of performance concerns might I see?

You don't "fix" anything, unless by "fix" you mean "turn off broken feature".
It's a nice idea, too bad they tout it with such deceptive marketing.

Hm, I hadn't thought it would be misleading and asked for feedback on the
heading. I guess the people I asked for feedback already know how it works...
Thanks for telling me this because we consider ourselves super straight-
shooting and want to be clear. We'll improve.

That's really a misleading - almost bullshit-level - description.

More accurately, you can 'remotely disable features so, if you shipped
something broken, you can turn it off'.

You're being almost misleading using phrasing like you can 'fix iOS bugs
live'. You can disable parts of your implementation. That's quite a bit
different.

Stop trying to mislead the biz side of the house that doesn't know any better.

Our users call it a hotfix so that's what we're calling it. Often the fix is
something they do on the server side while they disable the frontend. Does
that make sense? It's not meant to be misleading but succinct headlines are
hard to write.
