Seems Apple's quality control has really been screwing up the last few releases. I haven't updated to iOS 8 or OSX 10.10, and the way things are going I'm not going to any time soon. If they keep this up, I'm switching back to Android and Linux.

I second this. I'm part of Appleseed because I figured my use cases of my Macbook for development might bring out some less noticeable bugs. In the latest pre-release before 10.10.1 came out, the iCloud settings broke so that you could only access the system settings by agreeing to the iCloud EULA, or clicking very quickly and hoping you could press the back button before the dialog reappeared. Very obvious, easy to reproduce bug. Even after sending in multiple reports via Feedback assistant, it's still a live bug in 10.10.1 production. I get it, bugs happen, but the lack of QA and use of feedback assistant is really mindblowing to me. Anyone have some light to shed on what's up?

I totally agree. I still get weird graphical changes when I open an app group (corners contract and expand). This has been the case for every iOS 8 version update and continues through 2 restores.

Given how many circa 2012 and later Apple laptops I've had to deal with that no longer worker due to ventilation/ GPU issues, I think they're quality control went way downhill a while ago.

All of the problems I've experienced with iOS 8 have gone away in the subsequent patches, with one exception: turning the screen off occasionally activates Siri, which immediately gets deactivated since the screen turns off. The only thing that happens is the phone goes "ding-ding" like when Siri is turned on, even when the phone has the silent switch enabled. Quite annoying when I'm at a quiet client site and my phone makes that noise. --edit: I should say all of the problems except the fact that the wifi is so unbearably slow and unreliable that I often resort to LTE when I need to get something done. Wifi sucks on iOS8.
