I feel so lucky to have never bought into the apple mobile ecosystem every time I have to test any of my web apps on iOS safari. What a shit browser (which you have no choice but to use).
Not to mention having to own several special lightning shit cables to support my test devices. ๐คฎ They only switched to usb-c because the EU forced them. That detail alone is enough to know what a shit line of products they are cultivating.
But yeah takes me about one second to miss my android device
I have switched straight to iphone 15, so USB C cable, not that I use it, airpods are lightning, not that I use it, since I am charging both wirelessly.
The website I work on, works for fine for me, so not sure what your issues are.
Wireless charging: because it's always reliable, convenient, and available.
Do you support any older iOS versions? Anything that uses video, PWA or features added to other browsers >2 years ago? If yes to any of those questions, I have to think you don't actually support/test in iOS safari. Which btw often works differently between iphone and ipad. And their simulator support only goes back a couple of versions, despite the fact that Safari does not auto-upgrade and is tied to major os releases. So if you have users with older devices, you cannot ever take for granted that your app/website will work fine for them without testing on either a simulator (excludes OS versions over like ~2 years old), or maintaining and testing on a physical library of devices with older versions that you make sure you always refuse updates on.
It's abysmal to support safari ios unless you don't care about lower income/education users who have 5 year old devices.
Safari and videos are a nightmare to work with, there's always something that doesn't work right, when Chrome and Firefox work fine.
Are you me? I feel like I never speak to anyone who knows that pain like I know it.
