Sounds like they hired a bunch of Microsoft coders this time around.
And this is why I criticise why it's even necessary to stick to a stupid "big" OS release on an annual release date. Get your head out of your clacker, Apple.
They fired all the engineers and spent this money on the next season of The Morning Show?
If so, as an engineer I really don't see the future in their products for me and my work.

I'm increasingly happy with my decision long ago never to use iCloud Photos or iCloud backups.

Seriously, this bug probably has to do with the pre-work for that new feature.
Few years ago if you was to say Android is more stable than iOS you would have got laughed off the Planet, not anymore Android is now the better platform to be on for stability.
I don't know what going on at Apple you can't blame the Pandemic because iOS has been buggy for the past few years now, & what really grates me is Apple pick & choose what bugs to fix or ignore as there were still a few annoying bugs in iOS 14 that never got fixed, also not forgetting the security holes they also decided to ignore until it got published about them.
Apple is becoming a joke shoddy built unreliable hardware & unstable buggy software, you expect this from a small startup company or some shady Chinese company, not a trillion dollar one.
Apple knows they have dedicated followers that will continue to support Apple not matter what, & alot of people that buy Apple aren’t tech savvy so don't have a clue.
Then you got the the influencers these are the worst by far that dare not say a bad thing about Apple, & blatantly ignore the ongoing issues with both Apple hardware & software, in case they get blacklisted by Apple & don't get future review products.
This is why I'm now moving away from Apple it's a company that can no longer be trusted to give you both reliable hardware & software, because all they bothered about is the dollars rolling in nothing else.

This is the first time I haven’t downloaded and installed the new software on day 1. I’m so glad that I waited this year!
Have you used an Android phone? I'm soon ditching iPhones cause of Apple's pic scanning and general Big Brother attitude, but I don't expect Android to be nice.

I think their whole mistake is that, as you wrote, they ignore bugs that a regular user may not pay special attention to. They do not work for you or me, they only work for the general public and for what they need. There is no longer that creative approach to creating products or software, Google really looks more technologically advanced in this regard.
Good motivation for engineers to develop a good new update, when sales from their software are spent on the next season of The Morning Show.
What Google did to Inbox was a counterexample. It was a more feature-rich version of Gmail they killed just because it didn't have enough users (1.5M or whatever it was, wasn't enough to them). They only cared about regular users there. They seem to think the same way with other products they kill.
Turns out there's no reward to users who let companies treat them like guinea pigs, other than getting new stuff slightly ahead of time. If you want stability, you have to stay a version behind, only use established products, etc.
This could be a classic case of the phenomenon: "Rosy retrospection." However, I'm leaning towards the camp of "worst iOS release ever."
I mean a few less pictures in your 50,000 picture camera roll won't hurt you
Just kidding lol. Hope they fix it.
But I'm convinced if iPhone users switched to Android, they wouldn't make it 😂. We have it so good despite the few bugs every now and then

They definitely need a quality assurance team but in all fairness to public beta testers... Apple doesn’t seem to listen to the feedback provided or is incapable of resolving the issues.
I use to beta test in the past and I provided lots of bug reports with step by step instructions to reproduce the bugs, screenshots & screen recordings etc. After a few years I gave up because they didn’t appear to take any notice. Many serious bugs were introduced at the beginning of the beta releases but still remained in the public release and even in the following years.
Got rid of my iPhone 12 due to bugs & bought a S21 Ultra back in July, and the phone been brilliant not a single problem with it, plus it just got the October update even before the Pixel phones.
You've only had it a few months. The usual problems my coworkers complain about have to do with lack of support, both via lack of updates as expected but also really poor technical support should anything go wrong.
Also, seems like a crappy UI tbh. I'll find out for myself in a few months.
Blame QA that's the easiest thing to do, why didn't they spot this one? Ever considered that QA is simply an informant of quality within the IT-Industry today and is most often no guarantee for quality since Managers or Product Owners have the final saying if it is good enough to ship?
I think if you talk to the QA guys at Apple they would show you a list stretching 500 pages filled with bugs that would make you cringe, they would also let you know that they repeatedly told the team to fix the issues before going live.
