it bother me that you need to updated software AND hardware quite often these days. The upgrade cycles are too damn short for my taste. By the time I am done updating and fine-tuning all my devices, the next wave of OS/iOS updates is on the horizon.
It's clear Apple now favors their "bleeding edge" customers - the ones who are willing to wait in line to be the first to buy the latest iThing and use it openly as a show of loyalty regardless of the state of readiness and reliability of the hardware/software combination for real world workflows. It's symptomatic of a company that would sooner cultivate popularity contests amongst users than provide real engineering resources to solve customer problems.
