Folks complaining about an OPTIONAL wallpaper they don't have to select makes me laugh, cringe, and SMH all at the same time. They must go crazy when anything MUCH more important happens in the world.
I agree that there are far more important things to worry about in life. What is unbelievable though is the time and effort Apple puts into pride wallpapers, yet they fail badly at addressing issues that have been hampering our devices for a long time.

Yes, they should take that designer and put them to work on fixing bugs in the code.

This is like the silly complaints that "Apple should stop creating emojis and put those people to work fixing X or adding feature Y". That isn't how this works.

Apple adds multiple new wallpapers to every new OS version. Why don't people complain about those? Seems to be just the Pride ones they release this time of year. I wonder why?
 
Not univerally broken. I just tried that and it works fine. I suspect something else is going on with your device. You might start with a reboot to get things synced up again.
Thank you. that seems to have fixed it. Strange, it started right after the update to26.5 yesterday, which requires a complete reboot. Anyway, issue solved. thanks

I think sometimes after a software update, not everything loads correctly or at the right time and a second restart can clear that up.
 
Lightweights. It’s 11.43GB on my Air.
13.12GB on my air 😬

I gave Organic Maps a try driving home. It’s ok for basic navigation but it had no traffic indicators which meant the time estimate got longer and longer due to my car sitting in traffic. Also it gave me one route only and kept rerouting instead of changing to my needs. Oh well maybe in the car I won’t see ads in Apple Maps. 🫪

as a card carrying homosexual, I don't like this Pride wallpaper either. In fact, the last few Pride wallpapers have seemed very uninspired. I don't know who they think this benefits... you're Apple ffs, if you've lost the ability to make engaging wallpapers (which is not hard, see unsplash.com) just maybe don't... I will continue to be a degenerate either way

also standard grumbles about HOW the **** has it really taken so long to put out the new Siri, and why do I feel like it's still going to be a disappointment? **** if it wasn't for the hardware kickassery on the Mac side I would have essentially totally lost faith in the idea that all the freedom I sacrifice is worth it....
 
One feature that is new is reduced location tracking accuracy for mobile networks. At least it is the first time I see it, after installing 26.5. It needs a restart for it to work, twice if you have two active sims.
 
Not many people complaining about the region gating for the smartwatch features. I will not use it but I find this to be such a dick move by greedy Timmy

I totally and completely agree with you!
 
Well, the update in my CarPlay is that earlier only Apple Maps was supported on my Tata Harrier in India. Now Google Maps is also available on my second Dashboard Screen.

Thanks. I've been using Maps.me for years all over the world. After a bit of research I found "Organic Maps was forked from the original Maps.me open-source codebase by former Maps.me developers who disagreed with the commercial direction it took. Organic Maps is the privacy-focused, ad-free successor to what Maps.me used to be, while Maps.me has become bloated with ads and tracking"

I recently deleted Maps.me, glad to see it is back and consumer friendly in the form of Organic Maps!
