    Did anyone notice the much less confusing, and easier way to turn off your device in iOS18 and iPadOS18?

    Just noticed this today, and I don’t think it’s been given its due. But with the newest update, Apple made it so you can turn off your device in the upper right hand corner of your control Center screen. A more convenient way to turn off your device then going through settings, or the button...

    Still Having Issues Selecting the Subtitles Button on Apple TV

    I was hoping iOS 16 would have resolved this, but selecting the subtitles button while watching a show on Apple TV using the Control Center Apple TV remote is still an issue. I can sometimes get to it if I skip up several times, but most of the time, I can’t. Are there any tips or tricks to...

    Is there a way to show all open Chrome windows like on Windows OS?

    I know that I can hit Control + down/up arrow to see the different open windows/apps. This is inconvenient when using a mouse. Is there a way to see ALL open Chrome windows at once like on the Start bar/menu in Windows? I like how all open windows can be quickly seen like this...

    Remove an Apple TV from Remote in Control Center?

    I did a factory reset on an older Apple TV, but it still shows up in the drop-down of Apple TVs from “Choose a TV” in the remote function in Control Center. Is there a way to remove this?

    Control Center high RAM (~ 9 GB) usage on Monterey 12.0.1 MBP 14” 32 GB RAM.

    Saw this on Reddit and wondering if anyone else is experiencing it with their 14” and 16” M1 Macs. Control Centre seems to be using nearly 9 GB of RAM. Seems to be a big memory leak. Some redditors replied that macOS will use all of the RAM available to maximize performance, but to have 9 GB...

    Error When Attempting to Open a Song Found with Shazam That Apple Doesn’t Have

    When I use the new Shazam control in Control Center, and it recognizes a song that Apple Music doesn’t have, I get a Apple Music page saying “You’re already an Apple Music member.” This seems to be a bug, as I imagine I should get a page telling me that the track isn’t offered.

    iPhone Wifi Issues

    This is going to sound weird - I have an XS Max and have had wifi issues since day one. 50% of the time, my phone lags on wifi. Gets much slower than LTE, despite having a fast 300mbps internet. The weird thing is - If I pull down the Control Center, it immediately speeds up. I can literally...

    I just noticed this tonight, it was working fine earlier today. When you pull down from either one of the "ears" on my iPhone X, notification center AND control center do not seem to show up.

    iPhone X Volume Control Confusion

    Call me dumb, but I'm confused about the volume controls on my new iPhone X with ios 11. The side buttons change one volume and the slider inside the control center changes a different volume.

    I’m personally very, very, very (did I say very) annoyed by the new “disconnect” implementation of the Bluetooth and WiFi toggle switches in the latest iOS 11.0. I’d like to know how the good people of MacRumors feel about it.
