    Universal I created an App Store rank tracker called Rankor

    I released a new app last week called Rankor, which tracks the ranks of app on the iOS App Store charts. Right now it works for iPhone app ranks only but I plan to add iPad support in the next update. I created it because I wasn't happy with some of the other apps on the market which track the...

    Mail app on iOS and iPadOS does not handle IMAP mailboxes with large message count

    The Mail app on iOS & iPadOS does not gracefully handle IMAP mailboxes that contain a large number of messages. In my usage, the "magic number" seems to be around 10k, but YMMV. The issue manifests in various ways: in a large "Inbox," new messages may not appear on the iPhone. A large "Sent" or...

    Does anyone else get random resprings on their 17 Pro / Pro Max?

    Kind of random but ever since I’ve gotten it my silver 17 Pro Max has resprings every now and then where the screen will go black and you’ll see a small spinning wheel before going back to the lock screen a second or two later. They’re rare but random with no set pattern of when I use a XYZ app...

    Home Home App Automations Don’t Support Podcasts on HomePod

    I discovered that Home app automations for HomePods currently don’t support playing podcasts. This means that if I want Apple News Today (or any podcast) to play at the same time every morning, I can’t set it up directly through a Home app automation. You can still automate music, playlists...

    Why the Same Bugs Reappear Across Apple Beta Cycles (An Engineering Perspective)

    I’m starting this thread to share some insight into a pattern many of us beta testers have noticed across Apple platforms—not just iOS, but macOS, watchOS, and others.

    Update to 18.7.3 isn't showing up

    So things are slowly getting really critical at Apple. We already have dark patterns, we have constant notifications to finally upgrade to iOS 26, and now we also have denied security updates? According to Apple, the security update that is necessary because of already exploited...

    My theories on why Apple's software quality has degraded so much.

    The Haus of Apple OS: How a Thousand Paper cuts killed “It Just Works” There’s an old saying: Apple has money. They have more than enough money. But what money cannot buy—at least not directly—is time, discipline, and humility. And those are exactly what Apple’s operating systems are missing...

    Any using iOS/iPadOS 26, but still using Sequoia for macOS?

    I'm seriously hating what I've seen so far of LiquidGlass on macOS 26.2 To paraphrase some famous words "One giant step backward for Mac-kind" But as far as I can see the implementation on iOS and iPad is less-worse, and I want to upgrade my iPhone & iPad to take advantage of latest security...

    Other Is there a specific app or feature that is keeping others "iPhone bound"?

    Is there a specific app or feature, that either works better on iPhone, or only exists on iPhone, which is enough to keep you "iPhone bound"? I have been pondering moving over to Android for some time now, but there are specific apps and features that either are only available on iPhone, or...

    iPhone 14 Pro Starting to feel like iPhones are not worth the money anymore

    Hello, I’m starting to feel like iPhones just aren’t worth the money anymore. I bought the iPhone 14 Pro (1TB) as soon as it launched, and went for AppleCare+ with theft and loss cover. I wanted something that would last a few years, as upgrades aren’t worth it every year, or even every couple...
