Hello folks. I couldn't find a correct forum (some general discussion about Apple products ... maybe I am blind) for this topic hence I am posting it here. (in case a Mod finds a better forum, be my guest and I apologize)
I moved to the "ecosystem" a few years ago and now I own all the stuff you can see in my signature. I've also recently I migrated my smart home accessories to HomeKit ... it all together has cost me thousands of dollars (converted from the currency here).
Regarding Apple products everyone says "it just works". However I constantly run to annoying and hard to resolve / unresolvable bugs all the time.
I'll name a few:
- Siri on my HomePod minis wants to trigger long deleted shortcuts - so I cannot say certain phrases to control my lights
- AirPods Pro keep triggering pairing mode everytime I open the case near my iPhone
- Night Shift in macOS doesn't work properly with my ThinkVision P44w-10 monitor (I am using F.lux now ... it's better anyway)
- the annoying problem with DP connected monitors not waking up I had with my old Mac mini (there's a whole long thread somewhere on the forums - it affects all Intel minis ... not sure about the M1 .. I don't follow the thread anymore)
- SideCar display connection keeps crashing (on both my 12.9" M1 iPad ... and also on my late Air 3 that I no longer own)
- Safari on macOS going wild when I want to move a tab from or to another Safari window (not happening as frequently now)
I was a software tester myself. Not that I wouldn't liek to work for Apple ... but what the hell is going on there with their testing? These are all basic use cases of their products and they are not able to get it working properly for users who paid a fortune to use it.
Or am I using it wrong?
What do you think about all of this?
Happy discussion everyone.
