Apple stopped developing software

Bloomberg wrote, quoting informed sources: This delay, which was reported internally to Apple employees last week, is meant to help maintain quality control following an increase in bugs in early versions. Instead of adding new features, Apple engineers are tasked with fixing bugs and improving software performance. But Apple’s spokesperson did not comment on this.

According to Aetna from Isna, Apple’s software, which is known for its clean user interface, easy-to-use controls and focus on privacy, has been one of the company’s biggest strengths. This makes quality control necessary. But the company tends to add new features while making sure its operating systems run as smoothly and flawlessly as possible.

In recent years, Apple has put more emphasis on quality, and this emphasis has even meant delaying new features.

Apple’s senior director of software engineering, Craig Federighi, has postponed the release of several iPhone features to next year amid concerns about numerous software bugs.

In 2019, in order to contain the problems, he modified the way Apple designs software in the future. Under this approach, each feature must be enabled manually through a process called flagging features, and testing staff can isolate its impact on the entire system before adding it.

Last month, Apple completed the first release of the next operating systems for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The next iPhone and iPad software that will become iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 is internally called “Crystal” and the macOS 15 software is called “Glow”.

According to Bloomberg, Apple usually releases major software updates in September each year after previewing them to software designers and consumers at its June conference.
