The AirDrop randomly not working one is really manifesting at the most inconvenient times. Apple simply won't fix it.

I'm always dumbfounded by people constantly praising AirDrop. It hasn't worked properly more often than it did. And that's not talking about the times when you send something, it gets accepted, and it just ends up in a void, not to be found anywhere. At the end of the day, in most cases, it would be preferable to just connect the damn thing with a cable and send things that way. If you send a large file, it takes a w…

It’s always been flawless for me.

It uses Bluetooth to establish a connection so I wonder if that is the source of some peoples problems.

>where Apple bans accounts for redeeming legitimate gift cards. Is there any evidence of this happening with an actual legitimate gift card and bot one which was stolen or originally purchased via credit card fund.

Yes. https://hey.paris/posts/appleid/

That was already posted and it was not a legitimate gift card.

Out of these the text selection and the Apple Pay card button bring me the most daily pain.

Even writing this short sentence I’ve accidentally deleted words when I just wanted to move the cursor and it decides, no, you must want to select that whole word

Just because something else is worse drones mean the other thing is good

Your autocorrect just wasted a full minute of my life (2s for re-reading, 8s for thinking about it, and 50s for responding.)

You can thank Apple for that. I even have autocorrect turned off yet it still insists on doing it... Most annoyingly it will change the word previous to the one I'm typing...

The autocorrect is a real pain, especially when you are using a correct and grammatical word, but Apple decides, F&ck you, you will use this other word instead.

And the text select has been broken for years, as the site points out. I thought it was a mobile thing until I used an Android, and it just worked.

These are minor irritations, but they are adding up so much so I'm thinking about Android...

Clicking on folders that you have put in Finders sidebar - It will not display the folder with the view settings set for that folder, but instead the last folder you clicked in the sidebar. It seems to happen clicking from top to bottom vs bottom to top. You just cant make this sh*t up it's so bad. Example sidebar: Applications - Always shows as icons Documents - Shows as icons if you last clicked on Applications. Sh…

Ooooh, I always though it just doesn't remember any view settings at all

I cant quite figure it out exactly either. Seemingly random, then sometimes there's partial order. I honestly have to close my eyes and take deep breaths in thru the nose out the mouth while sitting at my desk while trying to get stuff done LOL. Im just so sick of decades of these stupid bugs.

Yeah this arrogance where my tool decides what I want to do, and even if I put the cursor to where it will want, Apple will (un)helpfully move it. Because Apple thinks its users are retards and need help

> Apple Pay: Card Icon Changes Address This one is one of my pet peeves even outside of Apple Pay. My personal opinion is that almost all iconography is just reinventing the wheel. We already have a widely-accepted iconographic vocabulary already understood by a billion people: Chinese characters. The fact that English speakers can't read it is immaterial, because English speakers already can't read the icons we're a…

It takes years of practice to memorise Chinese characters.

> (Or, we could just put regular text under the icon...)

I'll take that option.

Maybe you just aren't perceptive. There's always a % of users that won't notice the most egregious bugs or design mistakes, just like there's a % that's way too sensitive to the most minor issues.

The article lists very obvious functional regressions (that I use everyday), I would not have missed them.

I can't believe that anyone in the world has had Airdrop work for them perfectly, every time, every day. It has a less than 50% success rate with me, and that makes it sound better than it is.
