What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you? (self.apple_enthusiast)

As much as I don’t like negative threads, there’s one thing in iOS that really irritates me, and I want to air it…

Pressing and holding the tab button in Safari to access tab groups, should have a haptic response.

Because it doesn’t, I often end up opening the tab view instead, so I have to huff a little, hit Done, then try again. I don’t know why it annoys me that it doesn’t because none of the other buttons in Safari do, but I feel like it should.

No, I have not contacted Tim Apple about this. Yes, I probably should.

Hit shift twice in a row, then you can type a lowercase letter at the beginning of a sentence.

Well I’ll be damned, you’re right!

Chalk this one up to one of those secret interface things Apple does super poorly to describe or explain!

This is demented, since the normal behaviour is so standard. Press ‘e’ for ‘e’ and shift-‘e’ for ‘E’.

That is the normal way of capitalization, but the os auto-capitalizes sometimes (like when starting a new sentence), and occasionally it’d do it where you didn’t want.

Apologies, I meant the way iOS does it is demented. I have a keyboard with a shift key, why assume I need help with that?
