Changing filesystem for billions of phones in a point release? That doesn't sound fun.

Did it on the Beta without even realizing it and it went fine. A little longer of a reboot, but otherwise very smooth. As always, YMMV.

"Your mileage may vary" is what I've always associated it with.

Yeah, I think I'll let them work out the kinks there for a good long time before going anywhere near this.

Initially, I was thinking the same thing. Given how fast the average Apple consumer updates to major iOS releases, I imagine that rolling it out over a point release is actually part of the plan.

Presumably, if something does go wrong on the individual level, the support burden on the genius bars will be lower (since major iOS releases have traditionally come alongside hardware releases), and if a major bug is found, the number of devices affected will also likely be smaller.

It stills feels wrong on a gut level, and semver folks might not be happy with it, but it seems to make some real sense.

edit: Also, if it went out with 11.0, coordinating all the bug fixes for a 11.0.1 would almost definitely take longer than whatever will be in 10.3.1 release, letting any APFS issues get tweaked faster.

Yeah this is kind of causing a full on panic in the office today.

If Apple fucks something up, and your app don't run no more, it's your fault and it's now your problem.

You literally can't leave a review saying "This version of iOS is shitty and it breaks all my apps."

But you can absolutely throw a brick through my front window.
