There's only so much QA you can do - are they going to extensively test with every wifi router and firmware configuration ever made? At some point you have to ship and look at the logs you get back.
- nknighthb 13y agoVirtually every major update to Apple products results in this problem. This is not true of other manufacturers. Given Apple's unusually large profit margins, there is obvious room for them to improve in this area.
- coldtea 13y ago>This is not true of other manufacturers. This is wrong. They just have smaller runs. A MBP goes --with the same hw configuration-- to 3-4 million people. PC runs are smaller and with tons of different configurations with regards to motherboards/CPU combos for the same vendor. Also Apple tries newer designs/chips more often. PC manufactures keep at the same older chips for the tons of the low end machines the sell. So: lot's of different + older (and thus tested) chips in smaller runs == less apparent problems.
- mikeash 13y agoTesting with literally "every" router ever made is of course infeasible, but Apple should certainly be testing with a large number. Say, enough to cover 90% of the routers presently in use.
