  • Can someone please tell my why Outlook for macOS has moved the spell check reveal to be a left click, I can see its making its own suggestions… so I guess it has something to do with not using the system default / probably use of Ai etc but its so discombobulating.

  • I never really use Apple memories on Photos but I wanted to today but oh boy is it just my iPhone or do the 3 dots hardly ever work can’t tap the stupid things - rotating phone didn’t help, killing app didn’t help, restarting didn’t help. Did they break iOS Photos with an update 🤷

  • Am loving the beta micro.blog app on iPhone. A few missing features and not ready for iPad but it’s very nice. Hopefully my testing and feedback can help it progress to launch in early 2023. Main bug for me at the moment is not wrapping long usernames which causes sideways scroll

  • Been spending some time in iPad app reading micro.blog timeline the last couple of days, it’s frustrating that when app switching I lose my place and have to scroll down and tap more a few times plus also on cell data and wondering if I’m reloading same data each time @manton

  • Gah Ulysses is not syncing again from my mac at work to my iPad at home. So iCloud is still terrible. Hidden sync is terrible. Good job I only had hoped to share and not actually work on my PhD text this evening unbelievable. Poor, hopefully I will get it on my iPad at some point

  • Privacy matters iPhone volume alerts

    A simple reason privacy matters. My iPhone has warned me my music has been too loud this week. What it doesn’t know is that I have connected it to a Bluetooth / headphone jack speaker a number of times and so the volume has been adjusted on the speaker itself with my iPhone set to max to ensure max output from phone to speaker. Maybe that’s old school thinking to maximise source output sure but then pass this data to my medical records and I could potentially be refused hearing aids in the future, see my insurances rise or be refused treatment for ear conditions. This is why data is useless without the owner being in control. Apple your approach to CSAM appals me. And yeah I’m a long term fan boy.

  • I was thinking for myself to get an M1 iPad Pro 12.9” (before event) but the more I think about it if I need new personal hardware I’m thinking maybe I should be looking more into the M1 iMac.

    → 8:38 PM, Apr 29
  • Ok I’m behind but an M1 chip in the iPad ! Woah. Ok I know what I am going to try and order.

  • I was really up for getting an iPad Pro 2020 to replace my iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12" and pencil but as the 2020 is very much the same as the 2018, I’m going to hold out and hope they bring out another iPad Pro this year with more than just LiDAR update

  • The screen time prefs on my phone just don’t show the family section. Unlike iPadOS what a joke. Apple your release of iOS 13 has been dreadful, where the heck is the testing !

  • iOS 13.1.1 Apple Music scrolling lyrics is great but it’s a little clunky as the overlay on iPadOS to be fair. Why it doesn’t split the view half and half instead I don’t know 🎵

    → 7:32 PM, Sep 27
  • I am fortunate enough to have a couple of iPads and iPhone X. I would really like a few more things like app location and share sheets to be sync’d and especially after iOS 13 where a lot of this has changed. Manually trying to make them look/feel the same is a royal pain.

    → 7:58 AM, Sep 26
  • Here we go… iOS13.1 on the way. I only want it for Apple Arcade, Dark mode & iPadOS really. Hmm I guess that will do watchOS update aswell. Update evening hahaha the only thing I will have to really consider is Catalina (when it’s out) and work as maybe a bad idea💡

    → 6:57 PM, Sep 24
  • If I get anything Apple related this year it will be an new 12” iPad Pro and new Pencil but am holding out for the iPad Pro to get update before I see what the bank manager says.

    → 10:21 PM, Sep 10
  • Ok iOS 13 is 19th Sept and 13.1 the 30th! I assume because so much got pushed back to 13.1 Apple felt the need to have a date. I might even wait for 13.1. iPadOS 30th

  • Apple and Gaming?! Really...

    I tell you the 2018 iPad Pro chips are through the roof. This is what excited me about the iPad launch. The power. Now we just need them in macOS. I predicted the new Mac Pro would be where we see the first ARM Mac. However the guy reckons a gaming console from Apple! I mean the chips are awesome but Apple doesn’t innovate anymore does it…

    → 8:07 AM, Jan 16
  • If they can bring Xcode to the iPad Pro and VS Code (plus some terminal). Then I might even ditch the laptop… what an amazing update. Shame Pencil 2 doesn’t work with older iPads though - was holding out for that hope!

    • gitlab decent webhook (Zapier just email notification really)

  • magic voodoo gestures

    Just spend 10mins looking for the repeat song option in Apple Music on iPad and iPhone, No idea what you call it but the “now playing card” has not clues you can scroll it. Affordance no where to be seen. In fact due to the way it animates in it doesn’t indicate that it is scrollable element, it feels like a card that is showing you everything. Seriously when are we going to move away from these magic hidden gestures. Snap chat I’m looking at you too. I fear iPhone X (still on preorder) will wind me up in this regards… Come on Apple this is not great UX
