My developers time is far to expensive to waste time on testing against versions of operating systems that are beta but then the sort of software we develop can be automatically tested. I certainly can't afford to ask developers to play around with beta releases. Fair enough, though it seems like Alex has plenty of time to Playtest the game, (If RRTV is an indication).

They have an in-house E-Racing team. Kick it to them for an afternoon. The point is that there were reports of the calibration issues in 1.1 beta. As it was the release to coincide with iPhone X, I doubt public Beta testers were going to raise alarm bells. But if FMEA contacted them during the Beta period and said you are breaking backward compatibility, that might have at least gotten on the 11.1.1 Priority list for Bug Fixes, where instead, they only became involved after 11.1 release, so fix gets pushed out to 11.2, if Apple indeed does address it. Apple hasn't always been the best at not orphaning older devices. (Not quite as bad as the telco's and their roll outs of Android flavors, but not great either).
