Apple just seems to be missing a mark. To me, the shortcoming that they have right now is in the lack of quality control. The good part is that this is something that could easily be corrected. It's just that they don't seem to care at this point.
Got a tip for us?

So for once, Safari actually is snappier? Refreshing to say it for real.
Is Apple Watch essentially dependent on iPhone for most heavy lifting and internet? I guess that leaves out iPod Touch unless in wifi range.
Forstall was gruff like Jobs, having worked with him since NeXT. But that obsessive behavior brought us shewomorphic and a bulletproof iOS in several versions. I still run 6 on my iPhone 4S with no glitches!
Cook is certainly not gruff.
I'm not running the beta right now, nor was I referring to the beta when I mentioned the reboots. I'm talking about reboots when entering multitasking at times on 8.1.2
Geez, I just purchased a couple of mag subscriptions, this morning, and THAT Newsstand App has to be the ugliest app I've ever seen/used.
Glad the iBooks App is still stand alone with that beautiful skeuomorphism iOS 6 bookcase.
Not to excuse bugs and Apple does have a lot of work to do there, but I'll take some of this instability in order to get things like control center, NC widgets, continuity, extensions, 3rd party keyboards, etc. Had Cook not shaken things up how much of this stuff would we have seen?

So Scott does lurk here.
I'd take stability and a clean, polished, optimized iOS over new features any day. But that's just me. Maybe I want different things from my devices.
I hope they finally address the alerts volume issue that's been around since iOS8.0

Deleting Messages with Yosemite
Does anyone know how to delete chats in Messages with Yosemite other than clicking and deleting one at a time? In iOS8 there is an edit option which allows multiple selection and one time delete. It can be very time consuming with Yosemite.

Ok but it's not like iOS pre iOS 7 didn't have bugs. iOS 6 had plenty, including a crappy maps app. Every version did. Again I'm not excusing some of these bugs (I'm experiencing many of them). But none of the bugs are bad enough to make me want to go back to iOS 6 and give up new features.

It appears they adjusted it somewhat but it still restarts when minimizing down from a full screen app, it's just not as jarring as it was before.
Haven't had it restart when I'm in the multitasking view and then press the home button.

I must agree. Unfortunately it may be as simple as being understaffed and resting on their laurels of the past. We know they're more than capable.
Trusting Apple was once a certainty, you knew they were on top of things and making a serious effort. It showed in their work. And while never perfect, excellent it was and that's certainly a good result.
Where are you guys finding release for Air 2. Mine doesnt show available and online links just show Air 1
One of the largest and most successful companies in the world is understaffed...oh the irony. Besides that though, I think it may be a matter of finding a much better Chief Executive quality control officer. I think I saw a report after 8.0.1 that the person in that position isn't very good at his job.
All the times it's happened to me, this has been the sequence of events: I've entered multitasking from within an app, scrolled a bit through the open apps, and gone back to the home screen and then entered multitasking again quickly.
And right when it gets there people will start complaining about iOS 9 beta battery life and bugs and resprings.
