    iPhone 14 Pro Max 8+ to 14PM, Tips/Advice for new Pro user? Screen Layout Ideas? Never used Widgets

    So I've had my Pro Max for about a month and been loving it, my old 8+ was dying more and more frequently and it was well overdue for an upgrade. I was able to get the hang of the new swiping gestures easier than I thought, it took me awhile to stop double tapping the bottom of the screen lol...

    Current State of Widgets

    Last year when Apple introduced widgets I was excited because widgets have become stale and a forgotten feature on Android by developers. I thought for sure iOS developers would breathe new life into them and make them become relevant again. Sadly this hasn't been the case at all. Instead...

    Lock Screen Widgets - Almost useless?

    Is it only me or did I expect these new Lock Screen Widgets to be much better? They look kind of crapy and you can't see much. You either get 4 small circles or 2 slightly larger squares. Yes, there is some info that wasn't there before but it looks pretty underwhelming. I expected that you will...

    iOS Widgets - Love or Hate 'em. What are your feelings?

    Widgets This is a bit of a curiosity on how everyone is finding widgets for iOS. My personal view is ... meh. To be fair, I may be a bit biased. I have been using widgets on Android for a good while and was happy when they came out for iOS. Not talking the Today screen. That was another...

    Widgets on Desktop

    Why is this not a thing, yet? iOS supports widgets on the home screen since last year's version. I feel like the only innovation Desktop has seen in years is 'stacks'. It's this huge unused space. It's easily accessible with a convenient gesture too, but it offers zero functionality. Widgets are...

    Disappearing widgets when in stack after 14.1

    I’m the only one with this very annoying bug? Here’s a video, the only way to see another widget inside a stack is to try to rotate, and sometimes also the stack remains freezed and I have to swipe to home screen and back. Appears after .1 updates of iOS 14.

    iPad Widgets "Unlocked" in iPadOS?

    So far I'm loving iPadOS and iOS14. While still buggy, i think its a good update in general and i was pleasantly suppressed when i learned that widgets wont be limited to just apple first party ones as 3rd party ones are slowly coming online every day. That said, the one thing that just urkes...

    How often do the widgets update? Can you change that timing?

    I have the stock widget up, but it is kind of just a large button if it does not update in a timely manner.

    A replacement for macOS Dashboard appears to be in development by a 3rd party

    I thought this is extraordinary news for those who still mourn the death of Dashboard in Catalina and newer. I stumbled across the developer's site by pure accident. The replacement app is called "Widgets" and is in its 2nd iteration. More details at Widgets by Photics

    iPad OS 14: App Library missing

    If Apple doesn't add the App Library to my iPad, bad things are going to happen. I want to delete app icons and I want to be able to hide homescreens, just like I'm now used to with my iPhone and iOS 14. It's such an improvement. I don't want to be a home screen icon messy anymore. 😣 It's easily...
