    So, I have a problem with Screen Time on my devices - iPhone 13 running iOS 15.1 and iPad Air 4 with iPadOS 15.1. The feature is extremely inconsistent across my devices. For example, I used my phone for 1,5 hour, but Screen Time on my iPad shows only 55 minutes. The other way around is even...

    A Hypothetical: Would you prefer Apple abandon computers or mobile devices, if forced to choose?

    This is a poll. If forced, would you pick Apple to abandon computers or mobile devices, under a hypothetical situation?

    iPad Air Swipe to Closing apps Unreliable in Landscape

    I purchased an iPad Air4 two weeks ago. I really like this replacement for my iPad6 but one gripe I have is swiping up to close apps is inconsistent. Sometime it works with a light swipe or I have to press hard or on an angle. It's much worse when I use it to read in bed while in portrait...
