I used to be excited about these updates, but now I get nervous.
My first thought is what devices are they dropping support for next? I mean Apple is the best when it comes to updating old OSes, I mean they had an update for IOS 12 last year. But still it essentially means those devices are still being left behind. It would help if Apple clearly laid out what support they will over devices over time like other manufacturers do. I don't care about new features on old devices, security is what's important to me.
Then it's just more bloat and unnecessary crap being tacked on to the new OSes. I don't need a dedicated journaling app. again Apple is different from other manufacturers (looking at you Samsung) that they let us remove these apps.
I just wish Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. all these software companies take a break from constantly putting out new releases. We don't need a major update every damn year. Focus on security, bug fixes and performance improvements. This is ridiculous. This is endemic across the tech industry, where you have a culture of constantly wanting to push out new code and releases, regardless if it's good or bad for the end users. For example, You have banking websites where they change the entire UI for no reason one day and you're spending time dealing with weird jankiness when you're just trying to pay your bills.
