I agree Apple may get a bit more criticism then others because it's nice
to take shots at the guy on top, but I'm not sure Apple users that feel
Apple's always getting unfairly picked on realize or notice how much
Samsung, Google, Microsoft and the others get bashed. Y'all must not be
on the same lists I'm on or reading the same articles I do. Also, just
because Apple is on top doesn't mean all of the Apple criticism is unfair.

Don't forget that Samsung first released their Note 8 I think it is which costs

of their success and we all know that many people (I say many not all) are
envious of other people or companies who are so successful.

Good News for Apple isn't Necessarily Good News for Consumers or Apple Fan
Consumers as since it is being Reported that Apple's Anniversary Edition of the
iPhone, the iPhoneX (Pronounced iPhone10) Ranges From $950 TO $1150, which Means
that Upcoming & ForthComing Apple iPhones as well as Other MobilePhones Cost
will Rise as a Result because a Select Number of Consumers have Purchased the More
Pricey iPhone as Opposed to the Less Pricey 1
As for Stable Releases of Apple's iOS, I recall that Apple's iOS4 &
iOS5 didn't Contain as Much (if any) Noticable Bugs & Flaws associated with it
... the ONLY Flaw was the Antenna Issue with the
iPhone4 on AT&T as at TheTime it was the Exclusive MobileCarrier of Apple's
iPhone
Major Bugs & Flaws didn't Begin to Appear til iOS7 & iOS8, which Greatly affected
Normal & Daily Use ... i.e., Basic MobilePhone Functions At 08:23 AM 11/30/2017, you

Oh look, Apple is 'getting sloppy' now
By Zach Epstein.
Well, Apple fans, I have some good news and some bad news for you this
morning. The good news is that it looks like Apple's new iPhone X is
such a smash hit that Apple bears are giving the whole "Apple is
doomed" spiel a rest for a while. A report from earlier this week
suggested that Apple sold
6 million iPhone X units. during the Black Friday weekend alone. The
remarkable feat is made even more mind-boggling when one considers that
Black Friday is all about deals, and there are no deals at all on
Apple's $1,000+ flagship iPhone.
Then, of course, we have the bad news. It appears as though "Apple is
doomed" may have at least temporarily transitioned to "Apple is
sloppy," and we're getting some truly special hot takes based on this fun new
theme.
I've seen a bunch of sloppy takes on Apple's supposed sloppiness over
the past few days. It wasn't until I came across "Is Apple getting
sloppy?" on the BBC website that I felt compelled to share some
thoughts on this emerging misconception.
So, what's the premise of this BBC article? Apple is getting sloppy,
you see, because the latest versions of its macOS and iOS software have bugs.
Provided as evidence in the article are a grand total of three - yes,
three
- bugs. The first is the High Sierra root access bug Apple issued a fix
for on Wednesday, the second is an earlier High Sierra the revealed
forgotten passwords instead of providing a hint (also fixed), and the
third is the infamous iOS bug that auto-corrected "I" to an "A"
followed by a question mark in a box (yup, also fixed).
The article is a trainwreck from the get go; the caption under the
image at the top of the page reads "Users are not used to finding major
flaws in Apple's products." Umm, what? The iPhone line is in its tenth
year and I cannot recall a single launch before 2017 that wasn't
accompanied by at least a few major flaws. "Antennagate" is obviously
the most famous among them, but there are dozens.
And what about software? "Users are not used to finding major flaws" in
Apple's software? Really? Has there ever been a version of any major
operating system, let alone iOS and macOS, that has been free of major
flaws? That was a rhetorical question. The answer is no.
Even if we pretend that all software isn't inherently buggy, in order
to accept the premise that Apple is sloppy we also must pretend that
Apple's software is more prone to severe bugs than comparable software.
Remember that period of time when it seemed like a new apocalyptic
zero-day Windows flaw would pop up every few months? Well erase that
>from your memory, please. In fact, let's just make believe the many,
many, many thousands of Windows bugs that have popped up over the past three
decades never happened.
There are plenty of instances where Betteridge's law of headlines does
not apply, but no sane human would argue this is one of them. So to
answer your question, BBC, no, Apple is not getting sloppy. Software
has bugs. Products have flaws. To think these statements are anything
other than absolute truths is ridiculous. The best that we as consumers
can hope for is that companies work as diligently as possible to fix
these flaws. Thankfully, Apple rarely disappoints in this regard.
