Sometimes you just have to stop what you’re working on and clean things up on your current projects.
Apple is reported to have stalled development on its iOS 18, macOS 15, iPadOS 18, and other major projects due to be introduced in 2024 to work on fixing bugs in its current operating systems and software.
Per Bloomberg, Apple informed employees of the delay at the start of November, people with knowledge of the announcement explained. Instead of working on new items, engineers are instead working to fix issues and improve the performance of what has already been produced.
The move came after the discovery of what was deemed to be too many bugs by software lead Craig Federighi’s team. It was then decided that engineers would embark on a week-long improvement sprint. Following the end of the pause, engineers will resume work on the previous projects and their new features.
While a week-long delay in software development can often be seen as problematic, it’s also thought that this could help minimize bugs and improve the condition of upcoming software.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
