Don't usually associate iOS with fragmentation, but makes sense when it comes to screen sizes I guess - esp w the iPad pro now

Fragmentation is also increased with apple's recent obsession with breaking iOS and/or changing how fundamental APIs work.

Are you sure thats recent? Its been like that ever since I started programming for the iOS platform (3 years ago) and before its something you would hear about pretty consistently with each major iOS update.

I feel like it got much worse when iOS 7 launched.

I personally don't equate fragmentation with different screen resolutions/sizes/aspect ratios. An eco system should have a large swathe of options. One size does not fit all in this case.

The fragmentation I feel in iOS comes from its tedious way to deal with the different screen types.
