I don't expect 100% perfection, just that Apple does proper testing of releases. If something happens because of user error, like a custom Android ROM, that is one thing. An official release is not a user error.

Broken software is software not tested stringently enough to account for minority issues. Broken software is not robust enough to account for or self-fix things as basic as an erratic network. Broken software does not mean software that breaks everything it touches -- it is quite sufficient for it to break anything it shouldn't.
You may wish to consider taking a course in reading comprehension. I very clearly stated that failure to do backups is user error.

I see. Hum, I'm forced to conclude that you have never done low level network programming if you think that someone can 100% accurate handle data corruption issues caused by bad network connections. Apple is better than most, shown by the exceptionally low percentage of issues that occur when 100's of millions of devices all try to update in a short period of time, but no one achieves the level of perfection you seem to insist on. Even checksums aren't 100% accurate.
