- At this point, we’re a matter of months away from getting the first beta of Apple’s next-generation software, iOS 14. By all accounts, it will be perhaps even more feature-packed than usual, bringing a ton of updates and new capabilities to iPhones, the Apple Watch, Apple’s HomeKit platform and much more.
- The flipside of the coin is that new releases of the iPhone maker’s mobile operating software can also introduce bugs of various kinds — some minor, some so minor you might never even notice them, and others … well, in the words of Elon Musk this week while speaking at a conference, he says a recent iOS update seems to have broken “my email system.”
- He doesn’t go into detail about which version of the OS caused this problem, but he made the point within a larger answer to a question about technology not necessarily improving over time and that more people should probably be devoted to working on and improving software code.

Elon Musk was answering a question about the importance of software as a differentiating factor in modern technology while on stage at the Satellite 2020 conference this week, when he went off on a brief tangent about Apple — and, specifically, his thoughts on the quality of recent iOS updates from the iPhone maker.
The often-controversial SpaceX founder and CEO, when probed by his interviewer, was elaborating on a point he’d previously made about the trajectory of technological progress not necessarily moving in a smooth line up and to the right. In fact, he stressed that technology “does not automatically improve” before he shifted gears to slam Apple for a recent iOS update that Musk says “broke my email.”
