Apple not what it used to be?

[dsjr2006]

I don't remember a major product or software launch that didn't have a few issues so I would say not at all.

Does anyone else get the feeling that ever since the release of the iPhone 6s Apple has just not been the same? I mean, there is the whole bending issue with the 6 plus and then iOS 8.0.1 drops, even for only an hour, and renders 40,000 people without phones. Of course, there will people that will argue against me, but personally I think that both the iPhone 6s and iOS 8 were no where ready to be released to the public. iOS 8 in general still has major battery bugs, animation bugs, stability bugs, etc. that just give it that feeling that it is still in the beta stage. Anyone else care to weigh in?

What's the IPhone 6S?

The 10 people in this thread could debate if Apple is going downhill, but time will tell. Judging by launch day, the masses say no.

Wishing the 6s was out.

Of course Apple has changed.... A lot of bozos have started buying iPhones.... no wonder it isn't the same.....

Apple not what it used to be? It's not it's gotten better!!
Everything evolves with time and trend If Apple were the same as years ago we would be lagging in technological innovation.. Sometimes we miss the old trend of things but the new trend is exciting and has many benefits

It used to be almost bankrupt. Now they are the most valuable company in the world. Definitely not what they used to be.

I guess, but just thinking in terms of iOS 8 for a sec, Apple released iOS 8.0.2 today and the only thing that it really did was fix the cellular service and Touch ID bugs brought on by 8.0.1. Supposedly it fixed other bugs but so far, for me at least, 8.0.2 makes no difference in terms of bugs when compared to 8.0. Personally, I would expect some sort of improvement with every release, even if it's minuscule. For this reason, iOS 8.0-8.0.2 are a total disappointment to me. iOS 8.0 should've been more stable and iOS 8.0.2 should have fixed something noticeable other than the disasters of 8.0.1.

You're making the same mistake that almost everyone on this forum makes- implying that the only bugs that matter are the ones that affect you. Even if you didn't experience the bugs that 8.0.1/2 fixed, they were real, and at the very least are the minuscule improvements that you expect to see.

To be clear, I'm talking about the people that claim iOS 8 to be universally rock-solid as well as the people that claim iOS 8 to be the buggiest version of iOS ever. As with most things, the truth is in the middle.
