The entire Apple shtick and justification for their prices and so on is (used to be?) that they control the hardware and the software so it's supposedly a perfect match, it works well, installs and updates easily, it's tested well, it's polished, etc.
Meanwhile, just this year we had these bugs here and before that we had the "password got stored in hint field" one with new FS[0], some other one with keychain stealing[0], the Unicode problem with the new FS, the iPhone calculator bug with intentionally laggy animated + button ignoring input.
I'd expect them to walk on (colibre) egg shells for a few weeks now, some of these bugs are absolutely embarrassing (compared to bugs like Debian's OpenSSL RNG bug for example, which is a more nuanced one that requires real analysis and thought to find and understand properly as opposed to "my password is just shown" that anyone can understand).
I'm pretty negative towards Apple for reasons but if someone told me a year ago they'd have so many bugs in such a short time period I'd say they're being disingenuous since Apple has many real downsides (that it's users mind not care about but I happen to) but top quality.
