"Whenever that happens the true feature is unannounced: it's simply stability."
Can't remember which version it was now, but I remember when Apple heavily marketed a Mac OS X version dedicated almost exclusively to bug fixes and performance enhancements.
It was very well received. I'm sure the same would happen if they announced they were dedicating an iOS version to bug fixes and performance enhancements.
EDIT: I think the version may have been Snow Leopard. :)
Worth noting that only iOS got the "double down" on performance. Probably because the userbase is larger and this idea had crossed into the mainstream news as a thing people were complaining about.
They could get into this during the developer SOTU, so there's hope...
Exactly. But now, in contrast, they're silent on the issue of stability. I'll take them at their word: if they say they've only done X, Y, and Z, then I'll accept that this is all they've done.
