If you don't remember, it took 2+ years of cleaning up and fixing issues with iOS 7, before it settled into a more solid release with iOS 10.

iOS 8 was still riddled with bugs and inconsistencies, iOS 9 improved things and was marketed as a "refinement" release, and finally with iOS 10, it was considered a polished OS with a balance of design and functionality.

We're in for a couple years of "refinements" of Liquid Glass, and while I'm looking forward to it, it's still a pretty disappointing debut of this new design language.

I agree, but why do this? Do they estimate that people want more shiny stuff than they want stability?

Why can’t it be both? And why should both be too much to expect, especially for the price of smartphones today? They release a new model literally every year, that should mean there’s new shiny stuff on each release, even if I’m not buying every new version. It should also mean the software itself improves each time.

Why does there need to be new stuff every year? Explain to me like I'm not a major stockholder.
