When Apple announced iOS 7, no one expected that this new system, which is still in the beta stage, would face this number of problems and challenges that imposed on some to consider the summer of 2013 as one of the worst years for the system. iOS It was criticized from the first moment for being filled with many software errors, although this is what is expected of beta versions, then Apple surprised everyone and shut down some unauthorized devices to install iOS 7 without any prior warning. This makes us live an active summer with Apple.

IOS 7 is a victim of massive expectations and at the same time a bit of mismanagement. When everyone's eyes are on one company and one product, every big and small thing gets extraordinarily amplified. But this does not mean that Apple did not make some mistakes that negatively affected many users, the first being the developers and the last being the average user.


Developers

The developers are the most affected in this update, and unfortunately some people forget that the iOS system depends mainly on the software store and the tools it contains that make our devices worth their price, but Apple did not take this into account when it pumped 1500 new packages to the development through the update of the special SDK With iOS7, which many developers consider a very large number, which is good, but a big update like this has led some to find its applications do not work well with the seventh system, some programs stopped working, including giant applications such as Skype, and demanded developers to finish updating their programs In a short period of time, in order for it to work on iOS 7 at the time of its launch, and even the design of icons, they have to update it.

To make matters worse, Apple's developer portal has found security flaws that allow obtaining developer data, forcing Apple to close it for more than a week, preventing developers from getting everything they need to do their work because this portal is the only place for discussions between developers and access to All the explanations and downloads provided by Apple for the new features. When a company makes a complete update of a system that works on many devices and issues 1500 modifications and a new feature to the development package, the last thing you want is for its developer site not to work, which causes most of the developers to be disabled at a critical time that does not bear any disruption.


the user

Recently, some users of iOS 7 Beta reported that their devices had turned off and were deactivated and could not restart them again - maybe you were one of those victims - resulting in a state of panic that I can understand. This is because some users who have nothing to do with software development have illegally installed iOS 7 in its beta to satisfy their curiosity and try this new system.

Some figures show that 7% of iOS users were iOS 7, which means that many non-developers have installed it, knowing that this percentage is usually 1%. This great pressure on Apple's dedicated servers only from developers and non-developers led to Apple canceling the activation process for some phones, which led to the sudden suspension of many devices.


In the end

The summer of iOS 7 for the year 2013 is coming to an end, and on September 7, Apple will introduce new devices that will contain the latest version of its system, and thus everyone is likely that iOS 18, with its latest release, will be available on the XNUMXth of this month.

Apple faced many obstacles to bring iOS7 to light in time to use it with its new devices and everyone is waiting to see this new system, so is it worth it or not?
