I don't get all this anger towards "Apple". Ultimately, this and other recent bugs are human errors and we all make mistakes in our work - most likely due to a lack of time to do their job properly. I think that is the real issue.

Because when you pay 700 euros for a phone there is a certain level of quality expectations.

  I agree. When you pay the premium for a high end X, whatever X happens to be, you expect it to be right. Probably the main reason I get so stroppy with these kinds of issues is that I'm time poor and the time I do have I don't want to spend faffing around dealing with them. Perhaps I have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement (genuinely: there is no irony or sarcasm intended here), but one reason I pay for a premium object, device or experience is to avoid hassle and friction, so it's pretty frustrating when that's exactly what I get.

It’s the whole fucking reason I started paying extra for Apple products to begin with. If I were willing to put up with this kind of sloppiness, I have a variety of options for less money.

If it were a one-off issue, this would be excusable. However, this is not the first, nor yet the tenth, major issue to occur on Apple devices in recent months, something that is inexcusable for a company who's reputation is founded on high-quality UX and reliability.

Apple built their (iPhone) reputation on "premium" quality and "just works" software. They embraced this. People paid for this. It is expected when one pays so much money for a device that is promised to be a premium device. Recently, the quality has gone done. The software has more bugs. Apple apologists say wait until .2 or .3 and it'll improve. This takes 4-8 months. So, people are supposed to "enjoy" a crappy experience on their new iDevice for 8 months and then it gets better? I simply don't understand how anyone could argue this.
