Just as Steve never allowed a Japan launch with a botched autocomplete feature, he never let the phone ship without standard emoticons support, he never let a phone application that crashes when taking calls go through, just as he never would have replaced a locally working voice control system with a half botched network based voice assistant.
Apple's 1.0 products were all just so polished until now.
This is the first time perhaps that the new feature has to match solid expectations, but it's still a 1.0 feature.
Sorry for the tone, but why all the drama on something that isn't either a surprise nor a unfixable problem...
I don't know what it is about Apple that invokes such delusion. Apple has had plenty of unpolished 1.0 releases including a pretty big one - OSX.
I am wondering if it's because of Steve Jobs death that is causing people to almost look for something/anything that show signs of Apple's impending implosion.
