Testers, both internal and beta, are testing right up to the release
date. Issues are being reported constantly, and that's even more true
for something as complicated as an operating system like IOS. I'm sure
Apple is looking at the list of open issues, ranking them by severity,
and determining which ones have to be resolved before the release date
and which can be resolved later. There's no way Apple, or any company,
could get every reported issue at every severity fixed before the
release date. I agree things like customer satisfaction is effected when
issues are found in the field, but customer satisfaction is also
effected by constantly pushing out the release date. Business decisions,
like first to market, a big splash with marketing, lining the OS release
up with a hardware release and so on, also play into these decisions. I
think you're absolutely right that releasing on time is paramount. Apple
won't postpone revenue by delaying the release of IOS and a new set of
iPhones. I know Apple pushed back their new phone releases from the
summer to the fall a few years ago, but I doubt this had to do with
issues found in the software.

For myself, I take this to mean that rather than letting apps go out that had
'allowable issues' the releases would be held until all of the known issues
would be fixed, or at least it seemed that way. :)
Obviously there will always be situations that will come up that reveal bugs
but I do think the emphasis now is on releasing on a schedule rather than
releasing after all known issues are taken care of.
Just my thoughts…
thanks and have a great day!

I wonder what you mean by "How I long for the days when programs had to be tight and
debugging was completed before product release." I don't recall such days. I've been
using computers since the 80's, and I don't recall a time when programs didn't ship with
bugs. How many dot versions were there for DOS 3.0? Unless you're writing HelloWorld, or
have an infinite amount of time to review code and test, you always have had and you
always will have bugs, at least in programming as we know it today.

Normally, I don't post much as I am a fast learner. However, today I got
saddled with several problems demanding a priority all at the same time.

It's kinda stupid that all I'm reading on this list is people crying about
Apple forcing people to upgrade to iOS7. Get over it. Seriously! If you don't
like how Apple does things, then go to Android. As for me, I love iOS7 and I
haven't ran into any of the bugs that people speak of on this list. My
Voiceover runs smoothly, I love the new Siri voices although I wish we could
use them with Voiceover, and I like how Voiceover is using the new Vocalizer
Expressive engine. I love iOS 7 and when Mavericks comes out next month for my
Mac I'll probably upgrade that too unless the rumors are true that I need 8
gigs of ram for it to run properly. And I know there will be bugs with that OS
but I'm not scared of bugs. Somewhat annoyed, but not scared. I think what I'm
trying to say is that there will be bugs on any OS on any device. Our job is to
find them and report them to Apple Accessibility right away.
