They did that with iOS 12. iOS 12 was great. Actually made a bunch of old devices more usable. But then for iOS 13 they tried to catch up with 2 years worth of features in 1 year... They just need to either slow down the pace, or figure out how to scale their developer count better.

iOS 9 as well. But then two versions later we were back to buggy iOS 11. And now the same with iOS 13. Personally, I think the annual release cycle is the problem. They keep having to release these “clean up” versions because they didn’t have time to perfect the originals. Of note on the macOS side, everyone’s fondly-remembered Snow Leopard was also the last non-annual release.

  > annual release cycle is the problem Yeah, this is a problem. They announce a bunch of features at WWDC in June, and everyone expects them in September. If their WWDC announcement was just developer API stuff, and they announced the iOS features a few weeks before release, they'd have a better idea of what was actually ready. Then they could release features in point releases spread across the year.
