macOSX High Sierra and iOS11, both are the worst release in their respective OS, in the same year.<p>I could partly argue the misstep in hardware as Johnny and his team as well as other department were likely too focused on Apple Park, arguably the biggest Apple product release since the Mac and iPhone.<p>But I just cant relate how and what Software had to do with Apple Park. Sloppy Software release, iOS 11 GM leaked by rogue employee, Homepod firmware with new info and release. Root bug, Springboard crash. And last time i checked, the iCloud Drive and Whatsapp backup syncing issues is still there, wasting potentially multiple hundreds GB/month of bandwidth in the background.<p>When the video of an employee's daughter filming at Apple HQ, which her father allows it and spoke about he is working on Apple Pay, the first thought that came to my mind was "sloppy". It tells me something were wrong in Apple, because literally all previous, and current long time Apple employees freaked out when they saw it.<p>Something is missing since Steve Job's left. It is the fear, the worry whether you are doing your job good enough to please him. The yardstick of quality, in an environment where excellence is the norm and expected.<p>P.S - I know everyone loves Crag Federighi, but i do miss Scott Forstall.
