Doesn't look like unusable to me. Apple does mistakes at times and even their updates are not always perfect but they usually fix things quickly. Also, show me Android manufacturer that delivers latest Android versions to devices manufactured in 2011. Nokia never did it with Maemo or MeeGo, newest releases were always bound to new device and with Symbian they updated when they changed to rolling release, if my memory serves me right, Apple was the first one or at least one of the first phone manufacturers to deliver new software versions to older devices. Nokia followed the suit with Windows Phone to some degree, but that's another sad story...
