Take IOS 9. It was supposed to be a leveling field, time to play catchup and stabilize things. Turns out it is nothing of the sort with two fixes issued in as many weeks.

The two updates were extremely minor. . . and fairly normal when you roll out a product to over 800 million iOS devices in the field despite all the beta testing you can possibly do. There comes a time when one stops testing and roll out or you never roll out ever.

iOS 9.0.1 fixed four minor issues:

• Fixes an issue where some users could not complete setup assistant after updating
• Fixes an issue where sometimes alarms and timers could fail to play
• Fixes an issue in Safari and Photos where pausing video could cause the paused frame to appear distorted
• Fixes an issue where some users with a custom APN setup via a profile would lose cellular data

And a week later, iOS 9.0.2 fixed a further five very minor issues:

• Fixes an issue with the setting to turn on or off app cellular data usage (a poor choice was made having to do with weak WIFI signal automatically switching to Cellular data usage by default)
• Resolves an issue that prevented iMessage activation for some users (primarily affected some iPhone 4s users with models made with a particular chip set)
• Resolves an issue where an iCloud Backup could be interrupted after starting a manual backup
• Fixes an issue where the screen could incorrectly rotate when receiving notifications (had to do with some notifications not handling too long a line without line breaks)
• Improves the stability of Podcasts (which were made with some third party podcast software)

Not a single one of these issues was a universal issue with iOS affecting all users. Not one. These are the exact kind of issues that are impossible to find in beta testing until the roll out to millions of customers using all sorts of combinations of software and configurations.

Meanwhile, in just five days from the release of iOS 9, more than half of all Apple Mobile users, over 350 million iOS users, have installed it with ZERO problems or issues and YOU are claiming there are apparently serious problems????

In the meantime, Apple has released OS X.11 El Capitan and that is faster and better than Yosemite in my experience of using it since I downloaded it and installed it. I totally disagree with your characterization of software "going down the toilet."

Exactly what software can you not replicate. . . or run on a Mac?

Yosemite went out the window with the change in SSD support.

They finally got that working far too late.

I won’t miss my MBP and 5s next year.

Impressive copy and.paste. I see that all the time in developer forums where people are paid to contribute.
