"In any absolute sense the quality of Mac/iOS + h/w are at quality levels our industry has just not seen before.... On any absolute scale number of bugs — non-working, data losing, hanging mistakes — in iOS/Mac is far far less today than ever before."
iTMS loses track of what songs I own.
iTunes will not sync my music to my iPhone correctly.
iTunes has also deleted entire libraries full of irreplaceable music.
macOS High Sierra shipped with not one but at least two root access bugs.
macOS High Sierra also exposed FileVault passwords in plain text as a password hint.
These problems are inexcusable, and it is simply untrue that Apple's quality is currently higher than average, let alone higher "than ever before."
- brazzledazzle 9y agoThese are just anecdotes but to pile on: A while back I switched from Android to an iPhone because despite loving the flexibility and freedom I hated the instability I was trading to get it. Now I'm holding out on buying an X or 8 because the buggy experience and daily crashes since I updated to iOS 11. I'm sure if I do a fresh wipe and don't restore my data I'll be back to normal. And I'm sure an X or 8 is going to work great. But I don't want to _have_ to do that kind of stuff. I want it to just work. I bought into the walled garden because that locked down environment is supposed to be trade off that makes things stable and secure.
