Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Apple to wind back the clock to '09 with focus on quality, not features, in next OS X

The bigger you grow, the more dissatisfied customers you have to answer to. Huge companies either work lots harder than they had to in the past to keep themselves high on the satisfaction curve or they begin to lose reputation and customers. When a huge company loses lots of customers, it can't just become a successful small company again.

Ah, but is it actually far more common these days?

Or is it just that with a larger number of users/purchasers these days, the noisy users who may have issues are more numerous?

And many of the so called issues that I read about are not issues per se but either configuration errors or misunderstandings about how OS X/iOS work.

As in "This is how it works on Windows, why isn't OS X doing that too?"

Remembering also that while many early users of OS X would have had all Apple equipment, not the Apple hardware has to work with many more brands of equipment, most of which is all made to a price.

Just my 2c for everyone to think about.

I hear you. But:

I have no issue with issues, bugs, all software has them to one degree or another. We dont come across these issues every third minute (hopefully!!) but from time to time we might.

My point is that Apple appears to be having an increasing number of them. Affected me much? No. And when we read posts of issues, yes that is noise, squeaky wheel syndrome. But, from my anecdotal evidence its more and more. I just feel that issues with Apple gear is becoming more widespread and common. When I read posts, and someone menrions an issue, so what, who cares, always happens, so i ignore it, but its far more common these days. There was a topic on what people wanted for Yosemite, and by golly, the majority wanted fixes, as per your article. Detauls galore of bugs.

Its not the bugs or issues, its the frequency of them thats grown.

Wifi. The article inferred that too many bugs are caused by too many new features, thats why I mentioned wifi, as wifi is not new, but its rampant with issues for Apple users. Apple has never fully complied with the Wifi Alliance, and I read yesterday this morning that "Apple devices aren't certified any more" I will check that, all I know is that they are not 100% compliant with wifi standards set by the Wifi Alliance. So issues happen. I had zero issues with mt TPL:ink modem/router, the Huawei 630b fibre modem doesnt play well with Apple, thats a known issue, the Huawei 659b Gbit router is fine I think. I have seen my rMBP time to be connected grow from the 12 second startup to adding another 10 seconds, or more, all with zero hardware changes. Just Yosemite's updates. This is wifi, its ubiquitous, it has standards, but issues continue

I can see why many want no new features but its a bit sad when some want stuff fixed ahead of new, cool, useful features. I want aware this happened with Snow Leopard, now I understand why I've often read, lets go back to Snow Leopard. Given Apple size, the narrownesss of its OS, and component types used in the hardware, bug rectifying would be a lot simpler than in Windows environment.

I know many of you will see this as grumbling, but its not. Apples users are probably a lot more prepared to put up with issues as is the loyalty, but its biting many

Wish I could. You asserted sometime to the
effect that wifi is not new therefore there should be no
issue with it and that something like that and I can't
find the comments as the well look below you'll see
it's all css code instead of quoted
text.
It's not
like simply putting new wheels on a car. An operating system
is millions of millions of lines of code. We have point
releases because if this. Errors happen.
You will never get a new operating
system without a single bug in it. Not gonna happen.
Therefore. Expect mistakes to happen and be less
disappointed when the inevitable mistake does occur.
That's how I roll.
