This is for watchOS, but when you add a watchface, look closely at the activity digital face... There is an activity complication in the corner. It makes me SO mad, I chatted with Apple and they just ended it. I really hate it.
How useless the mail app is.
The calculator needs to allow a few more digits.
swinging back around because I was just reminded of this trying to get to a calculator: iPad OS still not having a built in calculator in 2023 because Lord God Steve Jobs proclaimed a million years ago you can just use your iPhone. Sure you can. but why is that a reason to not have a feature? Fucking infuriating.
I was reminded of this last night when I opened the calculator on my Watch, and did a sensible chuckle.
Some notifications only have the option to snooze, not dismiss.
ipados sometimes shows me annoying translucent grey boxes in the app menu until I reboot. (I think this is the smallest problem I have with ipados, but I'm sure I could list more)
When I save things and then go try to find them in Files and they aren't there, only to find out later they ended up in some hidden part of the file system that Files doesn't see.
MacOS — making me go into system settings to allow an app to install that I’ve initiated. I know where the app comes from, I just downloaded it, why do I have to tell my own computer I trust myself to not be an idiot?
iPadOS — multitasking. I know that things are better than they used to be but it’s still a clunky experience to use multiple windows or flip back and forth between them unless you use a keyboard (at which point why wouldn’t I just use a laptop?)
iOS — not a lot these days. I’d still like to be able to customise my Home Screen layouts more, and shortcuts are still pretty unreliable, but I’m largely happy with iOS itself.
watchOS — better customisation for the widgets section. Let me have multiple complication/shortcut blocks, let me organise widgets more easily, etc. More watch faces would be nice too. A lot of the ones that are available are pretty ugly.
@HeavyDogFeet @DJDarren and more AI in MacOS and iOS, please. If I repeat a folder action three times, how hard is it to get that if I start the same action for the forth time, I would like to repeat the same sequence? Also, why do I have to correct the rather common name of my daughter 17.451 times, before the auto-correct finally gets it?
And finally; localization, which used to be a strong point of Apple, leaves a lot to be improved.
Itunes to Music. iphotos to photos Yikes. Edit: not quite a tiny thing.
