They rushing things too much too fast. Most of the time the new features come available halfway, before another new OS is expected to arrive.

I thought the Freeform app is for iPadOS only?
Like most, I prefer stability over rushing the development. It is a little disappointing that not only are some features delayed, but that iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS are rolling out on different timelines. Apple markets their 'one ecosystem'. So on my phone I can have one set of features when it comes to something like messaging, but then I can't do the same thing on my iPad or Mac for one or more months later? This is becoming a trend.

Reverse wireless charging could have come with iPhone 14 and iOS 16 at least for Apple Watches, just recording many people's anguish here
Remember when the entire update shipped at the same time? Pepperidge Farm remembers…
WFH is working out great. Only 9 new features are delayed. Oh that’s right, WFH people work the hardest out of everyone. 😉
They rather you buy iPhone 14 Pro “immediately”.
Staying on stable iOS 15 until Live Activities are a thing. That's the only thing I care about in iOS 16.
I think Home improvements require all devices to be on the latest operating systems - so it cannot be released before macOS and iPadOS updates in October.
Features were delayed long before WFH at Apple was a thing.
No sight of the classical music streaming service either 😕
To be honest, I like the new strategy, where they have a bunch of features but don't feel like every feature has to be present on day 1, even if it's still only half-baked. That gives us pleasant surprises to look forward to.
You realize the scale at which they are deploying and and adding features? In comparison to most other apps and OSes, iOS is wildly rock solid.
Can someone refresh my memory on what the Photos app update is all about? Seems what they mentioned in the article has been available for several years
I’m still not clear on how Shared Photos library is any better than the current Shared Album setup - what am I missing here that makes this better?
Is Order Tracking with Apple Pay/Wallet going to be live/is it in the beta? Haven’t heard much about it, actually I think it was only once.
Oh please. Take this weak argument to people that don't remember iOS history.
THANK YOU
A yearly OS cycle is not sustainable, as clearly shown with more and more features getting delayed (and the buggy releases, aka iOS15). Apple can throw as much money as they want, but their closed nature and limited time to beta test are not supporting their yearly cycle. They should do a tick-tock cycle. Tick year for new features, tock year for stability and performance ala iOS12.
