Rene Ritchie is very biased. He has to be as his livelihood depends on Apple.
No, he quoted Sinofsky because he’s one of the few people in the world who understands what it’s like trying to operate at this scale, since he was at Microsoft during it’s heyday.
Corner cases that affect only .01 percent of the installed bases aren’t a big deal when you’re operating at a few million; it’s entirely different when it’s more than a billion devices.
- izacus 9y agoWhat difference does 1mil vs. 1bil make when they're deploying software on identical hardware? The type security and stability bugs showing in modern macOS and iOS are unacceptable at 100.000 installs. What does volume have to do with accepting empty root passwords?!
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoThe software issues haven't been corner cases lately. iOS 11 is just... bad software. High sierra has had some rather embarrassing issues too and, I'll say again, they aren't corner cases.
