    IOS UX getting worse year after year?

    There have been a lot of changes to the UX I really hate over the last iOS version, the biggest one is the trend towards subfolders In iOS16 I’ve noticed 3 new ones: - In Maps, you now have to tap twice to change the type of transport, once to open the subfolder and once to choose it.

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Quick Start - Re-login (reauthenticate) all your accounts after transfer?

    Apologies if this belongs in the iOS section instead. I used Apple's Quick Start to transfer my old iPhone 13 to my new iPhone 14. However, I had to re-login into all my apps (Amazon, Snapchat, Apollo, Instagram, etc.). Is this normal behavior? Last year, I thought I didn't have to re-login...

    The ability to “Duplicate” a photo is gone in Actions :(

    The Actions menu no longer has the ability to “Duplicate” a photo, after upgrading to iOS 16. Did this happen to you also? I certainly hope it returns in a bug fix, because it is an essential part of my photos workflow: I always edit the duplicated photo, to keep the original untouched. This...

    Other It’s not about privacy for Apple.

    It’s a business strategy only. I’m an Apple fan boy (>25 years) like most of you guys. I love my iPhone, iPad and Macs & buy every year new ones. But one thing really bothers me. Their constant emphasis on how important privacy is to them even they are not serious about it. A big claim. I...

    In-App Browsers, security

    There’s been a lot of talk about In-app Browsers recently especially with TikTok and Instagram, etc… One thing I’ve been wondering: How safe are In-App Browsers?

    Which Mail service , Proton or Tutanota or iCloud is best at filtering spam

    I'm looking at those services and trying to decide which one is more customizable to filter unwanted mail. iCloud is the worse for what I know but using alias or hide my email maybe is a way of controlling it. Tutanota let you block a sender, but I don't like to leave my mail on any server...

    A Few Annoyances.. Keyboard, Siri Annoyance, Phone Calls and Alarms

    I’m just venting to be honest but what annoys me: Phone Calls: Taking a phone call whilst on AirPods leaves my phone screen on. What a waste of battery. Even when I turn it off, one slight tap and it remains on until I manually turn it off again. Not great if notifications activate that if I’m...
