Some have noticed: the iOS updates are much more numerous under the era of Tim Cook than under the era of Steve Jobs. But this is not necessarily a good point.


An update adds a feature and / or block a security hole and / or fix bugs. In the case of Apple, iOS updates have mainly corrected bugs in recent times, as well as security vulnerabilities. As noted VentureBeat , the number of iOS updates is up 51% since Steve Jobs left the management of Apple.


Apple’s iOS Update Frequency Has Increased 51% Under Cook’s Management


When Steve Jobs was in charge, Apple offered an average of 6.75 iOS updates a year. Under the era of Tim Cook, we spend an average of 10.22 updates of iOS per year.


It is true that Tim Cook is not in charge of iOS. In a way, that means that control at Apple has gone down over the years and it's time to improve that. We saw it with the first versions of iOS 11 which were wobbly on several levels, especially on the old iPhone. The situation has improved today, even if it is not yet perfect. In the meantime, Tim Cook should perhaps push his teams to pay attention to the future.
