I've had other issues though, where for a long time iPhones would have trouble staying on the network.
This is a very hazy memory, but wasn't there a period of a few years where most macbooks, iPads and iPhones would have trouble staying connected to wireless APs using a certain version of the protocol? Not defending Google at all, but I have a recollection of a big apple vs rest of the world dispute on wifi protocols. I.e Apple spent a few years refusing to provide backwards compatibility for older kit and Apple argued that the entire world should upgrade their APs instead.

It does appear to be an Apple specific issue but given Apple products make up a significant portion of the world's devices, it's surprising that someone like Google have not solved for this.

Now you mention it, it rings a bell.
I just assumed it was a Google issue because that was the only network that they had issues with. All other wifi networks seemed to be fine.
Anyway, that was a while ago and seems to be resolved now. But it was immensely irritating at the time.

I have set up a couple of Google wifi mesh networks.
I've noticed an issue with stickiness once or twice, but generally I've found handover to be ok.
I've had other issues though, where for a long time iPhones would have trouble staying on the network. And another time when it would completely collapse when there were more than 15 or so devices online. The support forums were filled with complaints, but Google were pretty tight-lipped about even admitting there was a problem.
I'm pretty sure they'll just suddenly drop support for my generation of wifi pucks too, like they do with everything else.
Yes, I'm a bit bitter.
