    iOS in the Classroom: first impressions

    I'm a high school teacher and have been mirroring my iPad screen via AppleTV for several years. All my students have iPads, too. Works great and allows me to walk around the room while teaching. Two things that have really annoyed me about iOS 11 thus far: 1. To disconnect screen...

    Anyone else hate the new multi-tasking?

    Previously you just: (1) swipe from the right. (2) swipe from the top to pick an app you want. Easy. Done. Now, you: (1) Swipe up to reveal the dock (2) Find the app in the dock (what if I want to open something not in the dock?) (3) Hold down on the app and wait until it becomes movable. (4)...

    Has the 3D Touch App switcher returned? UPDATE: Intentionally removed

    I heard it was removed in beta 1 and possibly may have been a bug. Is it back in beta 2? It's my favourite way on iOS 10 to switch between apps or pull up multitasking view on my 7 Plus. Love just 3D Touching on the left edge of the screen.

    Two windows of the same app side-by-side

    Split-screen multitasking could be so much more

    I have a 12.9 iPad Pro on iOS 10. It is mostly a great experience and improvement, even coming from iPad Air 2. However, one feature leaves me constantly frustrated: split-screen is side-by-side only. I am so baffled that Apple didn't implement split screen for top/bottom use while holding...

    iPhone 7 app switcher animation bug

    Whenever I double tap the home button to open the app switcher in landscape mode, there's a glitch in the animation. It only happens on my iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but it doesn't happen on my iPhone 6s. I tried restarting my phone to factory settings, and I tried restoring from a backup, it still...

    Hi, Since upgrading to iOS 10.1, or for the past few days at least, I'm noticing issues with both the standard Music and Podcast apps pausing randomly for no reason.
