Apple Reportedly Overhauling Its Software Development Process Following Buggy Release of iOS 13

Great WWDC iOS 14 is gonna be boring like 12 was can’t they do new features and still make it sorted
They still haven’t fully fixed the buggy mail app either. This is the buggiest iOS ever.
Without those huge yearly updates.. There won’t be any WWDC to allow not only developers, but non-developers upcomimg features. Apple enjoys the spectacle of it all... and so do we.
And they don‘t rush.. sometimes Apple withhold features until they are ready. For example, the Deep Fusion for the iPhone 11 Pro.. it was released in 13.2 firmware. We are humans.. we make errors, I‘m all for these minor updates if it helps in the long run.
And macOS, I beg! Ever since iTunes doesn’t exist, my every sync between my Mac and my iPhone sees all the pics deleted first from the phone only to be re-transferred over the course of two hours. Not to mention that there’s no indication on what part of the sync process the devices are. With iTunes something like this wouldn’t take more than a few seconds!!!
Adding new user-facing features to every major release of iOS isn't some holy rule. I am pretty sure if Apple just focused on just improving the reliability of the next 2 major releases then you would have much less complaints. But we know they will more than likely never do that because "features" are sexy.
Seems you do not use your iOS device much
a lot of disorder here and there and battery crisis!
That's not true. Snow leopard for example didn't have much user-facing features but included really important technologies that were highlighted at WWDC i.e Grand Central Dispatch. Developers don't need every release to contain new user-facing features.
I swear, Mac Rumors could have just pulled their old article from the iOS 11 cycle that reported on the development changes to be made for iOS 12 and ran find & replace on it.
So iOS 14 will be a snoozefest and come iOS 15, maybe, maaaaaybe we'll get something 'revolutionary' like being able to place our icons wherever we want.
That being said, aside from only a select few betas, iOS 13 has been really good to me.

The final version of Mojave is pretty stable. Then again, I only upgraded from High Sierra at the last possible moment before the Catalina release.
Didn't we here them doing this after iOS 11 was released? And then iOS 12 was good. Why did they revert to their old developments methods for iOS 13?
I know Apple isn't just a huge multibillion dollar company it's run by humans just like you and me. With that said I can't believe they dug this hole for themselves again.
And I know family members who don't follow tech as closely as me saying they phones are regularly 'glitching'. with iOS 13

Apple can you please fix Catalina first please?
Still so buggy and I have the latest iMac Pro for goodness sake.

Wow, I can hardly believe it! Is Apple suddenly going to take quality seriously again? Any chance this might even apply to Macs? But then, if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't true.
After my experience with iOS 13 (both iPad and iPhone; specifically mail) I will never again upgrade until I am absolutely convinced the critical features work. I'm surprised MacRumors haven't run a specific article on the ongoing issues with Mail as Apple don't seem to care given it's still broken (exchange/notifications/background downloading). I suggested on Apple's forums that people tweet Tim Cook to make him aware of the issues but they removed the post...
I do love some of the comments from the Apple fanboys on MacRumors; on the mail thread some were suggesting that mail is a "consumer" app and nobody in business should be using it anyway.....they should tell that to Apple who specifically market iPhones/iPad to large corporations.

Apple, as a company, has a horrible recent history with both software and hardware. Catalina is a mess. iOS 13 is a mess despite EIGHT releases to fix stuff... hardware-wise, the Macs have been atrocious... the keyboard issues, the T2 fiasco, the Touch Bar is a nightmare, the 'trash can' Mac was a horrible product. They've been obsessed with thinness and lightness to the point of shaving fractions of millimeters and ounces off of their MacBook line to the detriment of usability. It was Ive's obsession with thinness that brought us the butterfly keyboard. They continue to remove ports in favor of trying to upsell iCloud storage... and while you're at it, enough with the soldered RAM and SSDs.
And let's not forget the annual software release schedule whether the OS is ready or not. It always takes multiple "bug fix" releases to make a lot of it even functional.
All I can say about this news is "about freaking time". I miss the "it just works" thing. Wish it was so.

so with 2018's releases focused on stability and now 2020's releases to do the same we may be looking at a tick-tock Apple OS strategy?
Please fire every VP and also Senior VP Craig. Time to go.
Exactly, it's not like macOS has changed much in the last 2-years feature wise.
