Infantile temper tantrums?Brilliantly put. I usually (well, not super often!) don't lose my cool here, but when I see the infantile temper tantrums being thrown, I do react.
People have a right to complain when they’ve been given a half baked operating system for a device they need to use daily.
The problems seem to be also majority focused on the 13 series as well, which has a laundry list of issues at the moment. Even their flagship ProMotion display is suffering from software related issues.
I can definitely tell you that users would get upset about not being able to use their Apple Watch to unlock their phones with a mask, have CarPlay repeatedly crash while playing music because someone forgot to test it with equalisers, the keyboard failing to show, the screen straight up failing to work for a few seconds or even when a users photos are deleted from their device and even iCloud after removing a conversation and having a backup that is regular and automatic. Those things are certainly noticeable and not just by ‘beta users’
I don’t think peoples devices having random photos being wiped are not bugs in the ‘nuisance variety’ and fall under more the ‘oh ****’ variety.
Clearly the update should’ve been delayed and from early looks, it needed a good month or two more development time. Now we just have panicky irrational decisions, like unsigning the only update available for 13 users, where Reddit and Twitter quickly filled up with complaints since they were unable to update and getting an arbitrary error that had nothing to do with the actual issue.
Constant defending of decisions and updates like this is the primary reason Apple can get away with this.
