Just yesterday, I encountered a classic frustration.

I wanted to forward an image from one Messages conversation, to another one.

The “target” conversation was one that I’ve been having for a couple of years, with a friend.

In the “Forward” sheet, I select that friend’s Contacts card, and it moves to the ongoing (blue bubble) conversation.

I hit the Send button.

Green bubbles.

I get a failure to send message, saying it’s a bogus number.

Messages used my friend’s work landline, even though we’ve been communicating for years, on his iPhone line, and it put the bogus send into the iPhone conversation.

Trying to type this comment on an iPhone and that very last issue, text selection, is so so real. It’s probably the single biggest thing I hate about this phone that makes me consider switching back to Android (I was on Android for 12 years before trying out an iPhone for 3 years atm, and in general, on average, I can’t tell the difference… they both have strengths and flaws. Text selection is a pretty massive flaw o…

I submitted this YouTube video (not mine) a while ago here that demonstrates typing issues that I also encountered on several iPhones: [It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken]( https://youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo )

Oh my thanks for that, I thought I was going crazy.

The one that keeps getting to me is that iOS insists on putting periods instead of spaces when I only pressed the space bar once so.I.end.up.with.sentences.like.this. (when it starts doing it it can be extremely consistent); yes I know about the double space -> period shortcut but like in the video that's not it.

There was a time where the iOS keyboard just worked.

I have searched for a proper keyboard replacement. But there is not a single one that 1) works properly without major bugs, 2) adheres to privacy standards (because no way I am sending all keystrokes to Microslop) and 3) does not cost a fortune. Typewise came close, but seems abandoned now.

If anyone has a recommendation, please reply.

Solid list. I’d like to add the following: - All: Contact syncing with Office 365 results in stored birthdays getting moved forward by one day. - macOS: Bluetooth audio stuttering when going in and out of full screen view in a given app such as PowerPoint. - macOS: Unlock using Apple Watch will randomly stop working - macOS: Safari suddenly going out to lunch and taking 30+ seconds to load a page (fixed by force quit…

I gave up congratulation people with their birthday years ago because I don't trust the birthday calendar anymore.

This is missing the most annoying one for me: when I type a search term into safari and it randomly interprets it as an address that it can’t resolve. E.g. “how to bake cookies” gets resolved to how%20to%20bake%20cookies (which safari tries to resolve via DNS or whatever instead of piping it to the search provider). Even better, it’s entirely nondeterministic, though it does seem to be due to some race condition with…

Yep, this seems to be the case whenever one types a bit too fast.

The macOS login screen is broken since basically forever. Opening a macbook lid and choosing another user than the one already selected is a PITA. I can't even remember it working. And I have the issue on 3 macbooks.

or, you wake from sleep, and start typing your password because the input is there and focused, but it swallows your first character because it wasn't ready for input after all.

I think most popular OS's these days have >5000 open bugs and some may get attention if they actually break something serious enough. Others may get plastered over in a new major OS update, which opens another 1000 bugs or so. I have no problem with a rolling number of bugs, but this is a tiny list of age-old bugs. I'd like to be in the room when Apple's people decide what to work on, but I bet I would get depressed instantly since they obviously don't use their products.

This is brilliant and about 50% of the top 10 bugs affect me regularly. Some (eg airdrop, mail search, spotlight search) are absolutely maddening. If this even slightly prods Apple into doing something about it, this would be a net win for humanity.
