RADAR Apple's RADAR system is the centralized spot whereby Apple Engineers, Testers, Beta Testers, and others can officially log bugs pertaining to various Apple software and devices. RADAR has been rebranded as 'Feedback Assistant' which is automatically installed anytime you'll install a beta OS on your devices. In fact, only up until recently Apple's Radar site was still accessible via radar.apple.com now appears to finally be offline. So in summary, Radar is now branded as so: See sample - https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/022e9414-d0f2-46bc-9715-b95664145087

Reply to Is Apple reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?
Just being honest: I'm pretty much entirely convinced that absolutely nobody within any engineering ranks at Apple is actually engaging with any bug / feedback submissions from the feedback app. I find myself feverishly documenting major bugs found in beta and development iOS builds, thinking I'm doing the greater iOS community some good, but in reality, I look back at reports I've submitted YEARS ago and they're all still OPEN (besides the ones I myself have closed on their behalf). It makes you wonder if Apple is getting the best of us and how appreciative they really are with my valuable time. I'm basically QA'ing their work for free.
