Why Has So Much Gone Wrong for Apple Recently?
iOS 8 was released without HealthKit – a major feature the company had announced – but, even worse, without iCloud Drive, which means that lots of people who were prompted to turn on this feature found that they were unable to access their documents from their Macs, since only Macs running OS X 10.10 Yosemite can use iCloud Drive. Interestingly, Apple released a Windows version of the iCloud Drive app; so Windows users have access to these features before Mac users.
Finally comes yesterday’s iOS 8.01 update. There is simply no excuse for releasing an update that bricks people’s phones. The fix involves downgrading to iOS 8.0.
He makes some excellent points. Especially the lack of iCloud Drive and HealthKit in iOS 8, which were both highly promoted by Apple.
Why the rush? Not mention the confusion that will ensue with iCloud Photo Library, or lack there of. Photo Stream was confusing enough. Release iOS 8 when it's actually ready. Which by the looks of it, would've been incredibly close to Yosemite's launch, anyway.
