There is something to be said for continuous releases instead of Big Bang releases every two or three years, but most companies that do this have an LTS release every two or three years. Apple has never really done that.

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:so why are there more bugs now compared with "good apple" of the mid-2000s? i used tiger into the late 2000s because i had a ppc powerbook and couldn't afford a new computer and it was rock solid. is it really a mass delusion? it was not as good as you remember, but Apple was on a 2-year cadence of OS releases, didn’t have phones to work on at the same time, and everything was much less complex. this one is a very buggy release, no doubt. but there have been decent ones in recent years.

you’re soaking in it. this year was the feature and UI release. it’s buggy as hell.

FMguru posted:the release date of new iphone hardware is a hard deadline (early fall of every year) and the new version of ios has to be ready when those things ship why? apple ships computers independently of integer os updates, there's no technical reason a new iphone has to have a new integer release, the new "drivers" for new iphone hardware could be in a point release exactly like os x and the mac does integer releases of ios include features that have nothing to do with new iphone hardware and those features can wait

apple's software has always been terrible, but for a short time in the days of ios 3/4/5 it was not completely unusable so people confused it for good and that has kind of stuck around even though it has no bearing on reality. apple has like a handful of hardware configurations and minimal usage scenarios to consider, and they still gently caress poo poo up all the time. compare that to Microsoft which has to deal with their software being used on infinite and unknown hardware configurations and in scenarios nobody has ever considered.
