Apple’s recent software development delay underscores the need to get ambitious 2024 updates right. Also: Initial thoughts on Apple’s latest MacBook Pros and iMac, and what an M3 Ultra chip could look like.
I always feel like when there’s a major overhaul happens in iOS, expect it to only be stable on the next major version.
It has always been this way since iOS 7. Though, when iOS 11 was released, it was buggy as hell. They then decided to highlight stability on the next version 🤣
Tbf this goes for most updates to IOS (and most other operating systems) that are feature updates. Thats why they dont encourage you to move onto the next version until the first security updates come out. I believe when IOS and IpadOS 17 came out I had to go out of my way to select an option that allows you to update to 17.0. The only operating system where this wont be true will be some Linux distros like Debian where its thoroughly tested before any features are added, this means you only get one update every few years though.
They do this with macOS too. For example Lion -> Mountain Lion, or Yosemite -> El Capitan.
I think that macOS releases that focus on “stability” have some permutation of the previous release’s name. For example, Mountain Lion still has “Lion” in the name, and “El Capitan” is a formation within the Yosemite national park.
Man, the betas for iOS 11 were so buggy that I couldn’t even count them all. It only got good about halfway through the beta cycle. This years and last years beta cycle gave me no problems in contrast.
