Apple Pulls Third Software Update in Past Month Due to Issues

That isn't a watch face. It's the Smart Stack.
Blame it on everything becoming hyper “Agile”.An update causing the device to freeze? This is starting to reach Google Pixel levels of quality control... or lack thereof.
Of course Apple is not doomed, far from it, but Apple indeed has problems, many, many problems. These are two separate issues. And of course Apple will be fine, but will customers and their devices be fine? If Apple has been doing their job, they would be fine-er. I am not worried about Apple, or Tim Cook, or what Steve would have done. I don't care about any of this. I am concerned only about myself as a customer, and like many others, I am not satisfied.
It is ridiculous when people answer criticisms against Apple by pointing to their trillion dollar value. That's a red herring. It's not even the same topic. I couldn't care less about Apple's value. I'm talking about the quality of the devices and services I've getting from Apple. I am not talking about whether Apple is getting their money, but whether I am getting what I paid money for.

Apple’s betas are a mess, always bugs in the final release and beta testers not doing their jobs on reporting the issues and bugs. I excited more from Apple to be more polished with their software and products.
Because coming from the watchface showing the time and date yet again and in a non-customizable way is considered smart.
(Man, I really dislike this design choice by Apple.).
It works, just.
You're "not satisfied" with Apple because a few non-public developer betas were pulled shortly after release?
Until it suddenly isn’t. No company is too big to fail. History has proven that over and over again.
No, Apple is too big to fail on any reasonable time scale. It could never release another product again and survive off cash on hand until we're all dead.
The pulled iPadOS software was not a beta.
"Apple Pulls Third Beta Software Update in Past Month Due to Issues" would be an incorrect title because one of those pulled software updates was not a beta. There is nothing wrong with the title. The article goes on to explain that two of the pulled software updates were betas and one was not.
I think you're exaggerating a bit here (or simply hadn't noticed)
Not even an Apple exec would claim this level of "perfection" over 80 updates
People on here choosing to ignore the fire when there are telling signs of smoke. One can only Apple gets back on track with the refinement of their software again.
The article is really a non-issue. The real subject here is a beta got pulled and MR created a clickbait title, in my opinion.

I think it should be an option to have the time/date on or not, but it makes more sense in WatchOS 11 when it keeps appearing with Live Activities. It essentially is shrinking your clock face to allow them to come into view.
It's good to see that Apple is quick to pull a bad update when they see it. You can't catch everything internally.
It is the whole point of public/dev beta testing to find these issues. I get that they have to pull a release, but that means someone didn't do their job while it was in beta. Is Apple doomed no, will bugs of this scale happen again? Yes.
That doesn’t help the developers whose devices were bricked.
