Video: 20 Annoyances Apple Fixed in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey

[KennyJr]

Can we get a podcast app that doesn't lock up for 5-10 minutes after a restart?

I've spent quite a lot of time in the Monterey that this OS is named after and I don't recall ever hearing it pronounced Monerey .. Just like if you drive up the coast a bit you won't hear the natives ever call San Francisco, Frisco .. San Frandiscêo yes, but . . . Anyhow, you get my drift.

Can we just list the 20? I'm not watching a video.

Yeah. I dislike pushing the videos everywhere, but the publishers try to make us stay longer to get better website statistics. What I do is I quit immediately or in this case I set the video speed to 2x It took me 4 minutes, while reading would probably took me about 30 sec to 1 minute.

Still no decent way to manage a shared family iCloud Photo Library.

Low power mode should be the default on all Macs even if they are plugged in Macs.

Would have loved to see reliable Bluetooth audio connection. Stuttering is an ongoing issue.

This sounds like a hardware or environmental issue, not something that could be fixed in software. I use Bluetooth constantly at home, often with 4 or 5 devices connected, and never get any stuttering or connection issues at all. But I remember staying in hotels before where I'd occasionally have issues. Radio interference on the Bluetooth band, maybe?

How about Finder windows remembering the god damn column sizes already?

Amen to this brother.

Column view in Finder has been always broken. Right-click setting “Right Size All Columns Individually” just does not work at all.

Using Macs since 2013 (Mavericks) and it never worked. Filed tons of bug reports about this - nothing.

🤦‍♂️

Most of these are not "fixed annoyances" though.

The only downgrade for me is safari in iOS 15 and its tab management and hiding of controls. Hoping for some major revisions over the betas

 

[navaira]

…and so those amazing dismiss notification 24x24 pixel "buttons" remain in Monterey?

 

[The Banker]

What about a Tab key on the iOS keyboard?

Some of these new features should have been part of the system a long time ago. Eg. Exif data.

New feature in iOS15 : 'get an alert if you leave your phone behind"... UH... what am I missing here... If I leave my phone... 1) how does it know it was left behind and 2) how does it alert me? I left it behind!

Iphone 13 will have a built in taser so if you walk to far it will shock you to remind you that you leaving your iphone behind? lol

Apple Watch you noob.

Did they fix the Mail app randomly and silently deleting your messages? Because that’s pretty fricking annoying.

There needs to be a switch in iMessage that when you send someone a JPEG they receive a JPEG on the other side and not HEIC format.

Monterey is nice but I have no plans to upgrade to it, will ride Mojave into the sunset and then purchase a new M2 or M3 Mac.

Maybe you have to swallow an AirTag.

 

[DEMinSoCAL]

Apple Watch you noob.

Maybe not. This MR article from the other day says no such functionality in Apple Watch.

(the good stuff is at the end of the article if you're a TLDR person).

 

[QuarterSwede]

Thats only for auto flash. If you want to force the flash you need to open other stuff.

Ahh. I could see how in certain low lighting conditions that would be a pain.

Wake me up when they fix the Bluetooth on the Mac mini!!

It’s a component and shielding issue that they never addressed in the 2018 Intel minis.

Bluetooth will get fixed in the next 2021 or 2022 Mac mini.

Wake me up when they fix the Bluetooth on the Mac mini!!

I think that's a design flaw. The Intel Mac mini is notorious for Bluetooth issues, yet there's no fix. I think we have to use the good ol' "buy a hub, move it away" trick.

I definitely agree - videos drag info out, I prefer to read.
