To me it's just a bug, they'll get it patched. None of my data was at risk. For security I won't worry about it.

Now the inability to click links on my phone would drive me NUTS. Seems to me like a case of 'someone did something crazy, Apple wasn't ready, these things happen'. But I may have had a different tune if it hit me.

There are some annoying bugs I hit from time to time (especially involving CarPlay), but they haven't driven me off yet.

Yeah, you are right. It's just a particularly annoying bug because: 1. It broke my phone pretty fundamentally, 2. It was a third party app that broke core functionality (in a roundabout way), which shouldn't be possible on iOS, 3. Lack of response from Apple, 4. Such a bug would be much lower impact on Android due to (IMO) silly restrictions on iOS. These factors combined with a lingering slight dissatisfaction with iOS has left me a bit annoyed (but I'll probably forget all about it soon!)
