Due to some significant bugs, Apple has hit pause on developing its next major software updates. This includes iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, as well as visionOS for the upcoming Vision Pro headset.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the delay was announced to employees working on the updates at the start of November. The article goes into detail about how the decision was made to switch to fixing bugs. “When looking at new operating systems due for release next year, the software engineering management team found too many ‘escapes’ — an industry term for bugs missed during internal testing,” says Gurman. “ So the division took the unusual step of halting all new feature development for one week to work on fixing the bugs.“
