    Iphone Mirroring on Mac

    Hi, I was really looking forward to the iPhone mirroring function - but this functionality just seems so scrappy - great when it works but most of the time it fails to connect with one or several errors. Is it me, or is there a knack to getting this setup and working reliably. Thanks

    iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 MaxPro lost 50% of its value in just 18 months - rediculous!

    I think apple's software quality has declined significantly

    I have identified some bugs and reported them in the feedback app. There are more than 10 cases reported, but apple chose to neglect it and set the resolution to "open" which means they are not gonna fix it what so ever.

    iPad Dolby Vision HDR playback on iPad 6 (A10) vs iPhone 7 (A10)

    Neither the iPad 6 nor the iPhone 7 can record a Dolby Vision HDR video, a feature introduced in iPhone 12 series. While both have A10 as the SoC, why is it that only the iPhone 7 can show/play the video with the correct colors unlike on the iPad 6 (and I think even the iPad 9) where the colors...
