It looks like things are not going on too well for Apple at the moment, but rest assured as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus gets released in another 22 countries later today, they will most probably perform extremely well in terms of sales. Having said that, the Apple Maps debacle that happened not too long ago might have something in common with issues faced with iOS 8.0.1 – with the common factor between the two being having the same Apple quality control manager in charge, or so this is what has been reported by Apple Insider.
It seems that this quality assurance manager who helmed Apple’s buggy iOS 8.0.1 update also headed the team that was accountable for the Maps app which arrived on iOS 6 a couple of years back that did not really function as it should have.
Sources that were familiar with Apple’s corporate structure claimed that it was the same Apple manager who took charge of quality assurance teams, and ultimately proved responsible for both of these missteps. This manager is allegedly in charge of a team around the world that numbers over 100 people who were required to uncover and fix iOS software before it is released to the masses. We do wonder whether Apple will change the way things are done in the future when it comes to testing new software, or will they change the person instead?
