Is iOS 11 the buggiest release yet? No probably not.

Is it currently perceived as the most frustrating release yet? Absolutely.

Apple's support infrastructure is undoubtedly swamped with more cases than it has ever seen before due to "issues" with the latest software releases combined with the sheer number of devices which increases dramatically every year.

Apple has calculated that it would be a cost-effective move to focus on stability for the next round, which enables them to reduce support pressure, increase customer satisfaction, and create a stable platform for launching into the next round after that.

I did not know the Apple Music subscription included the iTunes match service. I suppose this makes intuitive sense, but my recollection of the iTunes Match service was that it uploaded anything it couldn't find in it's existing Apple catalog. 

I’m not so sure an Apple Music subscription includes iTunes Match services. Serenity Caldwell wrote a really good article about this and she seemed to indicate otherwise. Apple Music will match songs in your library but will not upload them if no match is found. So if you have a number of CDs ripped that aren’t found in the store you will need iTunes Match to get them uploaded.

It definitely does not. I pay for Apple Music every month and still pay for iTunes Match annually.

This is a real problem, and it's why I will never get involved with any other (than Apple) company's services for anything important. Because a company that treats their users as the product like Amazon or Google can, will, and do simply turn off services that users depend on, after they are no longer any use to the company.

If Apple simply canceled iTunes Match tomorrow and said you have a year to deal with it, it would be an atomic bomb.

Too late. Already deleted YouTube and will definitely not re-install. Watching them via DuckDuckGo in Safari is a better experience anyway.

I'm not sure why the "findings" of an insurance company whose only goal is to sell you on FUD are even being published on Apple blogs today. Sad.
