Apple Puts Freeze on Software Updates to Fix Bugs [video]

They should probably move to a "tick tock" cadence for macOS releases.

So they alternate years between rolling out new features in one year, then fix the damn things so they work properly the next year.

It has got to be bad. Everyone is pushing more broken updates everyday. We should have January be a national pay-down-tech-debt-month.

one week only ??

Sounds like a standard bug bash. I was thinking like it would be more like a quarter.

At this point one year would make the most sense.

I loathe updating my iDevices nowadays (and have completely stopped wasting time on betas et al). Every update fixes one thing, breaks another. Silly stuff too like: oh, on your Apple Watch the heart monitor complification is gone. It's been there for ten years, yes yes, but now it's gone. Just wait a few weeks, we'll bring it back. Enjoy those 'other' bugfixes in the meantime!
