I think the buttons make sense, mimicking a physical remote, or the iPhone volume buttons. Sliders tend to make it difficult to change the volume in small amounts. However, it would be nice if they’d still display the current volume (as a percentage number or whatever).

Never in my life have I ever had issues with using a volume slider as opposed to buttons, if anything its easier cause ones your finger son slider you have full control in a simple swipe, with buttons you need to look at screen and keep clicking and if you look away you end up missing the buttons, its stupid on touch screen lol.

I went back and checked this. Strangely enough, there is no option labelled ‘FaceTime’, but there is one called ‘iPhone’. I suppose that would route the call using FaceTime if available. I couldn’t test it because I hardly have anyone using it. Maybe someone who actually uses FacteTime could check it. My Dad uses it, but on his iPad (no phone number, but email id). Tried calling him via the Contacts widget and that made a call to a lengthy random garbage number like this…

Thanks for checking. I tried it, and it kept wanting to place a phone call instead of facetiming the person. I couldn't find a way to make it facetime instead.

As a complete off-topic aside: Apple really should go back to the drawing board with using phone numbers for iMessage and FaceTime and then merging iMessage with SMS, and FaceTime with phone calls. This is why almost everyone I'm friends with tends to use WhatsApp. It differentiates an app (using wifi/data) from phone calls and old fashioned sms.

I have issues all the time. Even if I get to exactly the volume I want while my finger is still on the slider, lifting the finger then often changes the volume again a bit. It’s maddening.

CarPlay - when you get a text notification and it reads it out and you respond, it no longer jumps into a full screen for the text bur rather is a box overlay with buttons on top of whatever app, say maps, that you're already in.

That's huge! Good to know! Can you get a screenshot of this somehow?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, and you mean for controlling Apple TV? That's what my screenshot is.

For audio playing on the iPhone, it's a slider, it's only the above for controlling Apple TV.

This seldom works unless someone takes it upon themselves to actively maintain the list.

Yea, every year we try it, and every year it fails. So I've given into the chaos, as I don't have the time myself to collate it all.

Yes, when watching content on my Apple TV (YouTube app, YouTube TV app, Netflix, etc), I still have a volume slider.

Is this effectively an additional reminder, or does it just backdate when the reminder will appear?

It seems to just give a heads up at the time you request. So I just set one for 1:45 PM with a 5 minute early reminder. Here's what it looks like:

So it's essentially just creating a separate notification before your reminder is actually set, so I guess kind of a second reminder? I can see how it'd be useful if your reminder is a meeting but then that would more logically be on the calendar than in Reminders, I guess. Or if I had a reminder to go to the post office at a time, that could be useful I guess.

What I mean is, if you dismiss the early notification, will there be another notification at the reminder’s actual time?
