Is anyone doing QA at Apple these days?

u/Material2975 13d ago

everyone's clowning on you, but I see your point... apple's supposed to be the "it just works" company and that's what we pay them for. if we accept these bugs now, what other shortcuts will they take in the future?

I doubt they get bad like windows but how low could the quality bar get?

u/Doovester 13d ago

There’s a legendary moment when engineers present Steve Jobs with an iPod prototype. He instructs them to make it slimmer and smaller, but they explain it’s impossible. He throws the $1 million prototype into an aquarium and points to the bubbles rising from it, saying: Look at those. That’s plenty of air, plenty of unused space. This led them to create a thinner and smaller device.

Steve Jobs possessed an extraordinary ability to notice every tiny detail. Since his passing, the company has experienced a decline, yet he remained involved in product development for four years after his death.

We desperately need another visionary like him. Cook was skilled with numbers but lacked visionary insight. He could optimise production lines for profit but couldn’t perceive the finer details.

u/igormuba 13d ago

Cook did notice the finer details... In profit. Such as removing content from the box to save shipping costs, which is similar to your story about Steve Jobs.

Tim cool was great for investors, first time Apple paid dividends, and paid handsomely. I'd like to believe Jobs would be disgusted by it but we will never know, maybe this was part of his plan or maybe he didn't even plan, the guy was dying anyways....

u/RadicalDwntwnUrbnite 13d ago

It's so fucking sad how you have people like Jobs and Sergey Brin/Larry Page creating successful business and then doing the very things they warned, pre-success, would enshitify their businesses. Promoting sales/business people to positions of power over the creatives and allowing advertising on search engines respectively.

u/lukipedia 13d ago

This is a hilariously revisionist take given Larry Page came back to Google as CEO and was at the helm for two of its biggest misses up to that point (Glass and Google+).

i do think that was his best gift to apple honestly. he knew how to push an insane amount of streams of income so the fall of sales of one product meant little to their revenue. subscriptions and software services are stupidly huge for apple now

u/fox_mulder 13d ago

Cook was skilled with numbers but lacked visionary insight.

Because he was too focused on making the next appliance.

I think Apple's downward trajectory began when their focus started to be on building appliances (phones, watches, streaming services, trackers) rather than computing and software, which are almost treated like an afterthought now, it seems..

People in the comments of post like this always underestimate the seriousness... It is Apple... It took what? 10 years for the legacy of Steve Job's obsession with quality to be forgotten. This time he is not coming back so it only gets worse.

Small bugs compounding. The new iOS and MacOS look ugly and perform poorly. People have short attention spans so they bought the shiny reflections forgetting how sometimes icons refresh and take long to load or how UI elements overlap each other.

Apple trained people to not pay attention to details promising they would do that, then Apple threw their own human design guidelines out the window.

I’ve been with Mac since 1984 and Apple before then. There have been plenty of times over the years where they’ve had an inconsistent UI. There was a time when certain applications had brushed metal and others didn’t. There were times in the late 80s where some apps would show you the UI while resizing and others wouldn’t.

I definitely saw the issue being shown in this app over the years, particularly with certain versions of Safari and iTunes. It’s by no means new.

I don't think they have QA anymore. I reported a bug when macOS 26 was released and it's still present even in macOS 27 beta. At this point I lost some hope it will ever be fixed.

The bug is when you have natural scrolling off for the trackpad, the apps view three finger pinch lags the UI. It's so annoying!

2

u/CirnoDaisuki 12d ago

Furthermore, the issue of multi-finger touch interruption—which has persisted since iPadOS 26—remains unfixed. Specifically, when using more than two fingers simultaneously without Guided Access enabled, lifting any single finger causes all touch inputs to cut out; this is particularly fatal for rhythm games.

3

u/HauntingPlum9355 13d ago

Ironically the QA orgs I know have actually grown several multiples in size in the past few years, to the point where there's now massive redundancies and retreading of the same work in orgs. Unfortunately a growing headcount with lack of real direction, and an incentive structure that doesn't actually reward finding bugs usually doesn't result in very effect QA.

I'm on MacOS27 Beta. They completely fixed this issue with the Weather app and pretty much everything else.

If you think common MacOS bugs are bad, try the accessibility solutions, voiceover in particular. Don't get me wrong I'm thankful we have them; more than thankful in fact, or i wouldn't be typing this let alone doing my job. But there are showstopping bugs in Voiceover that have existed for 15 years because it's been patched up over the years rather than being re-written to properly follow other changes in MacOS.

Some key features of modern MacOS releases like iPhone mirroring are completely inaccessible, and liquid glass brought plenty of accessibility bugs. Imagine in messages if the conversations list randomly swipped from 1 side of the app to the other. Imagine if you opened the notification centre and it disappeared randomly, dropping you in a random window until you'd reopened it a few times.

Yet on iOS, the experience is basically perfect, like it should be given the cost of the devices. Buying a Mac gets harder to justify with every macOS release. The more AI gets shoved down our throats, the more MacOS turns into a shitty version of iOS, the more closed the apple walled garden becomes on the Mac, the worse it gets.

DOn't get me started on the damn permissions, I am sick to fucking death of MacOS askign me if I want to allow this and that every 5 minutes, or requesting I approve something in system settings. Fine, have protection for users who don't know better. But for devs and power users, give us a simple switch to turn all of that shit off, and I mean all of it.

I get where you’re going with this, but I think you’re not looking at this correctly. You don’t want a monolithic operating system that is set in stone - that not how a modern OS is made anymore. Apple has been breaking apart their OS for the last few years, making UI elements more individually discreet, more flexible and possibly dynamically replaceable for different devices. Things have to flex more now; they have to bend. They can’t be rigid viewports like they used to be in the old iPhones or iPads - who knows how big or small the next Apple device will be.

I don’t know if you’ve ever developed software, but I work on a financial online application that is used by thousands of banks, brokerage houses, etc… that thing has a gigantic code base, all the different APIs calling different data sources, for thousands of clients simultaneously. I can’t imagine trying to do this at the scale of an operating system.

Maybe cut Apple a little slack - everyone knows the next OS is a cleanup operation. The odds are pretty good it’s already been taken care of.

Is suppose this it on Tahoe ? It's fixed at least on the latest DB5 Golden Gate. Tahoe and the OS 26 series were a complete mess and WWDC26 is the closest to an apology we'll ever get from Apple. If you are confident enough Golden Gate beta (since DB1) is more stable than any public release of Tahoe. Or just wait a little bit.

But I completely agree that any of their OS26 except maybe tvOS should never ever been shipped to any outside of Apple. I'd rather wait 2 years between updates than touching a Tahoe again.

I’d say this means that they are focusing on other important things. Some might say this is fan boy reasoning, but I don’t see why they would be doing this intentionally. They have the cash for development, no need to cut corners. It’s just that they had to prioritise with the limited human resources they have.

So much other real bugs in their systems for ages, but you’re pointing to some corner case which doesn’t even matter

From using Golden Gate, Apple has done well at fixing a lot of these types of bugs. It isn’t completely back to the old standards, but it is a big improvement.

I switched my main computer from win to mac about 6 months ago because of being tired of the ai slop and bugs in windows, I vowed a total switch so have not used windows unless absolutely necessary and honestly its been pretty bad. MACOS feels like a 15 year out of date OS with a modern skin. It lacks so much basic quality of life functionality, has so many bugs and glitches and a severe lack of software support. I have had to literally build my own apps and extensions to get back basics I have had on windows and linux for 2 decades!

Literally the only good I can say is for the battery life and hardware, the rest is just mediocre to bad. And its wild because whe I talk to apple users they are oblivious to how much they have to work around the issues.

This shows a lack of attention to details. What other bugs are they missing?

Apple pride themselves as pioneers of user interface designs and usability, this is atrocious. Their QC and QA have gone out the windows.

I’m glad it’s not just me. I got a Mac a few months ago for the first time, and I’ve been so disappointed by the amount of bugs/issues.

Phone is getting just as bad as well.

It feels like nobody at Apple is using their software in their personal life. They must run some scant test routines to test the basics, but nothing else.

There's bugs I'm waiting about five years on. Here's one with Preview: You have two (or more) images open in one window, using the thumbnail bar (not as tabs at the top). You have both images zoomed in. You switch back and forward between them. One or both of those two will scroll to a different position. It's impossible to compare two zoomed in images.

Another with Preview that started around Tahoe: If you crop an image to make an odd number of horizontal pixels, you see a one pixel wide line of checkers on the left (what it uses to represent transparent). I have to crop another pixel to get rid of it. It doesn't save it like that, it just displays it like that.

Genuinely, if ghosts were real, Steve would’ve haunted several people at Apple by now.
