A clueless take on this. Nest was crap the whole time- their smoke detectors had to be pulled off the market and their reviews are pretty bad. And unlike Apple, their software bugs don't get fixed quickly. As for Beats, people are still saying they're crap, because they are. You are the only one here who changes based on what Apple says.
They pulled them off the market because that was the responsible thing to do. I suppose they could have just offered a band aid "bumper" type of solution.
