stop licking apple azz, its just a company that sells stuff, not your brother that will hear or care bout your opinion.

Do you write open letters to a car producers that they make more plastic cars every year?

The only way you can force them to improve their products is by buying products of other brands. When they notice lower numbers in their spreasheets, they gonna do something. Either improve quality/increase innovation or drop the price. You benefit from both.

People have very short memories.

Apple has almost always shipped with a ton of bugs. The original iPhone is quite possibly the buggiest product I've ever used. I honestly can't remember another device that crashed as much. Was it an incredible product? Yes! Was it extremely buggy? Yes!

For a long time every rev of OSX seemed to break half of my apps. I haven't used Yosemite, so I can't comment on that specific release, but otherwise OSX quality now seems better than its ever been.

And no one was more obsessed with competition than Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was hyper aware of competition and goaded them as well.

This is still Apple -- good and bad.

The only thing this shows is that people like the OP drank the kool-aid and still believe that Apple (as a company) would care, in spite of irrefutable evidence to the contrary and a history of broken things.

The only department I give my kudos to is Apple's marketing and their external communication because they manage to convey this image with such persistence and over such a long time.

NB: I'm an Apple user myself
