I have worked on a project with hundreds of people on it. But if I take the calculator example where you can’t add numbers together properly because of the animation lag, I doubt that more than one or two developers built that. Someone should have had the pride and passion to test that themselves, raise it and fix it. So either the organisation and culture is very bad at apple or the individuals don’t take enough responsibility. Maybe it’s both.

Indeed, and it no doubt passed all the unit tests and was marked as good to ship.

But I suspect what they were lacking was an aggressive, adversarial QA specialist with the mindset of "how would a user break this in daily use".

That's really surprising considering that we've seen beta releases of iOS for quite a number of years now.

Isn't the point of a beta release to make sure that the OS is battle-tested with users who would use it like they do in real life?

Would have thought it might have covered most of the typical real-world use cases. Especially since it probably has one of the highest number of users/testers of any beta software programs.
