Because having worked at Apple and seen Radar.
The issue has never been finding the bugs. It's having the capacity to fix the bugs.
And when you are this early in the OS release cycle (we are only at 14.1) there are inevitably a lot of P1 issues that limited resources are competing to fix.
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoBut I have to imagine an issue that renders Macs unbootable would have been considered blocking, had Apple known about it.
- threeseed 3y agoIt's an edge case with a workaround. P2 and definitely not enough to prevent a release. Only 14/16-inch models where users have explicitly disable ProMotion and are desperate to boot into the RecoveryOS.
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoMy understanding was that if you disable ProMotion you can become unable to boot into your main OS.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoLike the other user said, this bug effects a much larger set of customers. To ship this severity of bug in an X.6 release too is definitely very eyebrow raising.
- callalex 3y agoWho/what is limiting those resources? It certainly isn’t a lack of US Dollars. Is it executives on the financial team requiring a never ending increase in profit margins even though the margins from two years ago were also infinitely sustaining?
- SamuelAdams 3y agoMost likely people. As large as Apple is, there’s only so many programmers writing code. If you’ve ever read The Mythical Man Month, you know that throwing more programmers at a project does not nessesarily make it go faster.
- fomine3 3y agoQA is somewhat scalable than development. More test to find more bugs.
- troupo 3y ago> And when you are this early in the OS release cycle (we are only at 14.1) I hope this was a joke :) The worst thing that Apple did to themselves is force everything and everyone into a yearly release cycle
