They have all the interests to keep PWA unsupported since they don't pay the app store tax.

#313I think a lot of these are just hard to reproduce. Take the AirDrop one, it's been 5 years probably since I had an issue with it, and I use it quite a bit.
Auto correct? No idea, I switch that off by default anyway since I switch between languages.
Most of the others - I haven't seen that at all. With the exception of a couple, like the macOS 26 resizing. That happened to me once. But I keep trying to reproduce it and I simply can't.

You can easily switch between keyboard’s languages in the globe icon close to the spacebar.

#315Earlier quoted context omitted.
Google wallet doesn't work which is imho a very tiny issue with contactless payment working with cards but most banking apps do. There is a forum thread I believe that you can check if your bank's app work before commiting to migrate.
It might be a very tiny issue for you, but for others it's huge. As a single datapoint: it has been years since I used a physical card. both payment or public transport. Always use contactless payments using my phone.
I mean I used it in the past but the difference is minor in my experience.
It is a case of grabbing your card vs grabbing your smartphone and fiddling with it. That card could even be carried in one of those phones cases with a card holder.
The only major difference is in case of stolen phone vs stolen card. But every system has its drawback. It could be super annoying if you get your account suspended unexpectedly while you are away from home.
In my particular case I don't want a google account anymore and would hate relying on google to manage my payments so it is a no go for a start.

#316The same happens with their developer frameworks. I used to submit tickets (radars, as they call them) for framework bugs clearly reproducible in a few lines of code. They never got fixed over multiple OS releases, so I stopped bothering.

#317Mail search is a joke. HoudahSpot was the best way to search your mail right up until Apple made that stop working.
Re: Bugs Apple loves
#318Yeah, these are funny. There's a strange logic (that I understand is not just at Apple) where if you ship a known bug, it becomes harder next release to fix it… because we already shipped the bug once (twice, etc.). Apple engineers care though. If they were allowed to (given time, priority), they would love to knock out some of their oldest and most annoying bugs. And I understand that from time to time a bug-fix-onl…
It feels like Apple lacks the institutional vocabulary to even think about fixing old bugs. The way the releases are structured, there’s a “zero bugs” day where all bugs are ceremonially kicked out of the current release, and the level of quality is deemed to be “what we’re shipping with”. On that day, it’s not like the bugs are fixed, they’re just bulk-modified to target “future os release” and that’s that. Then the…
> But that’s ok because big rewrite of subsystem is gonna ship next release and it’ll probably make all the bugs invalid, right? Right? Well, it certainly won’t have more bugs, right? Right?
They keep doing them, but I wonder to what degree these rewrites are necessary, and whether your average Apple engineer is aware that they end up with more bugs and vulnerabilities than they started. Surely they've gotta know?

#319My Nokia C2-01 purchased in 2013 worked for many years without a single (!) glitch. Of course it didn't pretend to do as many things as iPhone does, but for it was capable of it worked always with 100% quality.
I bought an iPhone13 mini looking forward for "quality", but after few years of usage I realized that the quality is exactly what I have lost:
• Time-to-time when I open a contact, the "Call" button is disabled without any explanation. Surprisingly turning wifi and/or bluetooth and/or mobile data ON and then OFF again results in the "Call" button becoming re-enabled. Is the call function not an essential functionality of the phone to be dependent on such nonsense? Imagine you have an emergency and need to call real quick. • Every time I open the "Notes" app it greets me with "Mobile Data is Turned Off" pop-up. Mobile data just to type some notes? Who do you have to send it to? • DND logic so complicated and buggy that I started using the flight mode to be "sure" that nobody calls through. • "Settings" icon keeps displaying the "1" badge in revenge for my refusal to set up my Face ID.
Well, I thought, at least this thing is a very good camera (which it really is). As if reading my thoughts, it started recording my landscape videos as portrait which I didn't manage to fix, so now I have to rotate the recorded videos on my PC.

#320BY FAR #3 is the most annoying UX on iOS 26 - I fall for it every single time when trying to change payment method. Not only does it undo years of muscle memory, it's so unbelievably unintuitive to have the first button change address instead of payment method https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1mb4lod/is_anyone_else...
Sounds like a luxury problem to me. You have an iPhone and a credit card, probably also a mobile data plan to make it work.
I guess taxing the rich is a pretty good way to get superrich.
