It is expected that Apple will unveil new versions of its iOS and macOS platforms later this year, but according to a recent Bloomberg report, it seems that the next macOS update will not be focused too heavily on features, but rather it seems that it will instead focus on making the platform more stable.
If this sounds familiar, it is because earlier today the same Bloomberg report claimed that iOS 12 will not focus heavily on new features, and will instead see Apple direct their resources and efforts at improving the platform and making it perform better and make it more reliable. The report claims that the same treatment will be given to macOS, although in a lesser degree (exactly how much we can’t say for sure).
That being said, we can’t say that we’re too surprised. This is because if you recall, iOS 11 has been plagued with bugs ever since it was released. This ranged from keyboard bugs to calculator bugs, which are basically bugs that really shouldn’t have existed. Apple’s macOS High Sierra was no exception too, with several bugs that allowed users admin access when they shouldn’t, and also accidentally revealing the user’s password.
Apple has attributed the spate of bugs to a “bad week”, but if this report from Bloomberg is true, it sounds like Apple is doubling down on their efforts to prevent something like this from happening again in future updates.
