What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you? (thelemmy.club)

As much as I don’t like negative threads, there’s one thing in iOS that really irritates me, and I want to air it…

Pressing and holding the tab button in Safari to access tab groups, should have a haptic response.

Because it doesn’t, I often end up opening the tab view instead, so I have to huff a little, hit Done, then try again. I don’t know why it annoys me that it doesn’t because none of the other buttons in Safari do, but I feel like it should.

No, I have not contacted Tim Apple about this. Yes, I probably should.

How useless the mail app is.

The calculator needs to allow a few more digits.

I second this, everytime I shut the mail app down or sleep my Mac the mail app prompts me to sign in again with my Gmail accounts. (could also be Google of course) - if anyone has a good suggestion for a better email client that supports ProtonMail bridge, I'd love to hear about it.

MacOS: that it is not possible to permanently connect my Mac Mini to my Homepod Mini and also to get rid of the 2s audio delay. It drives me mad when I move forward in a song or YouTube video (same on iPad)

No mass storage ability without using icloud or I tunes.

You can but it requires a dongle and doesn't work in most apps.

This is my tinniest irritation.

The translate app tries to fit the text on the sign. Regardless on of tiny or distant it gets making it sometimes impossible to read. Can't you zoom you ask?

Yes if you take a take a picture. But first it makes enormous photo sound making people in places you are not allowed to take photo turn around. Then you need to wait for it to translate again. Tben you can zoom in.

Just because it cool to see the text actually on the screen.

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.
