Oo! I wanna fill out the survey!! Handoff and continuity are mixed bags of trash for me, too, with my Mac. Between my iPhone and iPad, it’s largely successful, tho. iCloud sync from my Mac is better in Ventura, but it was a wreck beforehand. I’m dodging post-Ventura things waiting on bugs to settle.
Yeah?
Try to start typing a message from iPhone and use continuity to finish it on the Mac, does it work? -
Not for me, either. I think it worked between iPhone and iPad.
Try to write an email on Mac, attach a file, use continuity to bring it to iPhone, does the attachment get transferred?
N/A for me since my Mac is for work and I don’t have work stuff on my iPad, but I do on my iPhone, but this use case is pointless on my iPhone. Either way, I doubt it’d actually work.
Between iPhone and iPad… not sure.
Does continuity camera always work if you have two Mac user accounts logged in on the Mac? And personal hotspot? Two user accounts logged in is the key here in this case.
Also N/A here. Only one account on the Mac.
Does Universal Clipboard work 100% of the time?
iPhone and iPad: yes. Mac: never. Ever. I fake mine with a note in Notes app.
Are sms messages always perfectly in sync between Mac and iPhone?
No, but it’s 98%. iMessage messages tend to be in sync, but SMS (relayed through iPhone) is less so.
I must have a special version of macOS and iOS with all the bugs!
You and me both!! It’s so laughable that I even tell my customers when I apply their updates: “Patch bundle applied. You now have all the new latest bugs!”
“It’s the kids, Marty. Some has to be done about the kids.”
Seriously, it’s this garbage Agile development style. Nothing is ever done, and responsibility/accountability was removed.
I know so, because I wrote a system for my company 25 years ago and it still runs today. It runs and does its one thing well. No
Mythical Man Month stuff, no feature creep, just focused and specific on its task. It’s been updated, sure. It doesn’t rely on a thousand external modules from questionable sources and dicey support commitments.
Smart choices in both design and development.
NASA put dudes on the moon using a computer with less power and resources than your Apple TV remote. Yes your remote has more capabilities than the Apollo 11 craft. You don’t need 4x 8K HDR displays to code your next project of bugs and “test” your app. Developers never test their apps on equipment less than theirs. They never test on low RAM/low CPU/low GPU systems. They never test how it runs via a remote session, VNC, Remote Desktop, etc. Developers are so myopic they think everyone has an IMAX cinema as a display. This is why apps have control widgets that exceed the display width and have modal dialogs in dumb places or forcibly disable copy/paste in some fields. Or the tab key shortcut order is all out of whack, and keyboard shortcut hot keys don’t work.
Accessibility is non existent outside of Apple, too, including color blindness, scalable windows and controls. It’s disgusting. I have some customers who are legally blind for various reasons and they can barely use their systems. They adjust and adapt as best they can, but it’s more difficult for them than it should be. Developers fail at this in pathetically pitiful ways. It’s disgusting. Allow for custom font sizes, you bozos. Get a pair of color blond induced glasses, and make a sensible palette. This includes you, Microsoft.
Stop trying be “cool”, and Just Work, damnit.
