So true. My experience was that upgrading Apple OSes was a safe and reliable experience. I'd almost always upgrade on launch day or the day after. As of the last 2-3 releases that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Their quality assurance has decreased so much that, for productivity sake, I just can't risk it.
After the debacle that was the Sierra upgrade (we had all of our users get locked out of their machines after the upgrade reboot and countless issues with Wifi), I'm hesitant to think about High Sierra or iOS 11.
Apple's reputation for high prices was always offset by high quality. If they keep skimping on the quality side, I'd imagine their leverage on the pricing side is going to get hurt (eventually).

- brandon272 9y agoAfter upgrading to High Sierra and running into issues ranging from freeze ups to terrible bugs in the apps I use for work, I will never upgrade immediately after a launch again. When I see that a major software release is published for general use I used to assume that it was solid and that the general public was not being used as guinea pigs.
- hesarenu 9y agoHigh Sierra was a simple upgrade. Nothing seems to be broken for me. Usually some command utlis would be broken.
