Remember when Steve Jobs introduced Snow Leopard as a stability/maintenance release without much in the way of new shiny features? Maybe Apple can revisit that idea.
Aside from bugs, don't even get me started on the giant fucking labels in the iOS 11 mail app telling me which folder I'm in....
- kalleboo 9y agoThat's what both El Capitan and High Sierra have been sold as on the Mac, so it's not as if Apple has forgotten the tactic. On iOS they have too much competition from Android to take a step back like that.
- Apocryphon 9y agoI always thought that iOS 10 was actually that. One of their high-profile features presented at WWDC 2016 was emoji in Messages. But my hunch was that 10 was a stealth stability release, as well as prepping for APFS in 10.3
- notatoad 9y agoAndroid's last couple releases have been more focused on internals and performance as well - For Android 8 the standout user-facing features are new emoji and they changed the notification shade colour from dark grey to white.
