Software is evaluated based on criteria such as reliability, speed, UI (user experience), design, ease of finding various items, and updates tailored to changes in the times will affect software quality. The IT industry giants such as Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle etc. are allocating a large amount of talent to such software development, but according to Sudophilosophical, sometimes too many talent resources are involved in software development It may slow down.

Apple has also been pointed out in the past few years that the core software of iOS and OS X is degraded in quality, and in 2014IOS 8 is full of bugsUpdates are withdrawn in iOS 9.1 or new features in iOS 9.1Install at nightIf you do, all alarms will be lifted, etc, Apple users should remember themselves.

" Sudophilosophical points out that part of this cause is "not able to properly manage large numbers of human resources".

Despite lots of users being fascinated by Apple products, the usage rate of Google and Microsoft software is increasing, which means that users are less reliable on Apple software. Sudophilosophical is worried that "If software quality degradation affects the reliability of the brand as it is, it could affect the sales of future Apple Watch and CarPlay", and thorough software by Tim Cook It states that leveraging development is necessary.
