This here is for me one of the biggest problems with Apple. I imagine this sort of eye of Sauron inside the company, whatever the eye rests on gets attention, anything else takes a back seat. They don’t seem to be able to multitask.

There are severe bugs in iOS Mail app for instance that have been there for years, through major iOS versions. How difficult would it be to have a team dedicated to fixing bugs outside the release cycle? It would provide a great environment for up and coming developers. And I can’t help thinking that fixing these paper cut issues would gain Apple respect, maybe not from the average user, but certainly from the sort of user that notices those details.

And perhaps also an easier way of raising bugs…
