I think the title of this article should be "factory reset resets piece of hardware to factory settings!". Truly sensational.

Take 2 is so buggy that I wanted to roll back as well. Unfortunately mine factory resets to 1.0. 1.1 is a lot better than 1.0 but there is no way for me to get there...

Apple are trying very hard to be like Microsoft. They have downgraded their support, crippled a number of their products and now are releasing buggy software with features we don't want. It's all about selling more for sure, but Apple used to be the company to go for for quality not quantity.
