What is happening at Apple? I’m honestly worried for them. Is their QA department in disarray?
Its only a matter of time until every silicon valley tech company faces the same problem.

they have to invent new things every year or a complex negative feedback starts because people, analyst and ultimately stock holder won't accept that an iphone iteration is just a little faster and has more battery
I agree that it is stupid that they have to deliver new things every year or they get negative feedback, but that doesn't mean they should deliver features that make their products worse or that QA should quit doing their job. Apple is a company with many many billions of dollars in the bank. There is no excuse for this. If their QA sucks, fire them all and hire 10,000+ new QA staff. They easily have the money to do…

That’s one explanation but if one company has the resources to innovate and keep up quality control it’s Apple. Especially since they have such a limited number of device models to support. I just hope this is a bad year and not an inflection point.
iPhone 5S to X (plus iPads, Apple Watches, and the iPod Touch) is a lot. All with different aspect ratios.
Not one word of apology from Apple! The workaround involves turning off notifications individually for every app, and then turning them on after the update. If this were any other manufacturer, they would be burnt at the stake. But we somehow let Apple get away with it.

It seems like a house of cards right now, and it will only get worse as they keep having the next crunch time just to deliver on an arbitrary management deadline...

The Verge just named the Samsung S8 the second best phone you can buy right now, after the iPhone X: https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/24/15914934/best-smartphone-...
Two of the worst quality phones available, as we all now know. This only reflects poorly on The Verge.
You know what would help shit like this? Letting us downgrade iOS. I get it. It means potential security exploits. But at least let us make the choice wether we’d prefer those to shiny new, and different issues that seem to be growing in number. Please? No? Fine, I’ll wait for the jailbreak and collect the goddamn SHSH blobs or whatever, if that’s how far you’ll make me go. My, how lucky you are that GarageBand iOS h…

Bozo explosion.
Things have been getting worse for quite a while. It appears to have finally hit a tipping point.
