    Can I use Parallels to run an older iTunes to manage my iPhone/iPad?

    Older iTunes would manage iOS devices with being able to see the screens on your mac, go thru the individual screens to easily rearange icons or delete apps. I'm wondering, CAN I use Parallels to run an older OS, so an older iTunes, and use that to manage my current iOS devices? (also, if so...

    Let's honestly talk about current iOS state (coming from OCD person hah)

    TL;DR I’m a bit of a perfectionist so perhaps I’m being overly sensitive but are others experiencing these micro-stutters and audio pops on iOS 26? I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max and for the price the random lag in Safari and social media, along with clicking sounds in the Music app, are really...

    Mail app on iOS and iPadOS does not handle IMAP mailboxes with large message count

    The Mail app on iOS & iPadOS does not gracefully handle IMAP mailboxes that contain a large number of messages. In my usage, the "magic number" seems to be around 10k, but YMMV. The issue manifests in various ways: in a large "Inbox," new messages may not appear on the iPhone. A large "Sent" or...
