You can but it requires a dongle and doesn't work in most apps.

This is my tinniest irritation.
The translate app tries to fit the text on the sign. Regardless on of tiny or distant it gets making it sometimes impossible to read. Can't you zoom you ask?
Yes if you take a take a picture. But first it makes enormous photo sound making people in places you are not allowed to take photo turn around. Then you need to wait for it to translate again. Tben you can zoom in.
Just because it cool to see the text actually on the screen.
How useless the mail app is.
The calculator needs to allow a few more digits.
I second this, everytime I shut the mail app down or sleep my Mac the mail app prompts me to sign in again with my Gmail accounts. (could also be Google of course) - if anyone has a good suggestion for a better email client that supports ProtonMail bridge, I'd love to hear about it.

Soon thunderbird will come to iOS so that's great for those that use iOS.

Mine is still that (on Mac, at least) the only way to update Apple apps is by updating the whole system. Work requests we don't update our macs, and now I still can't edit texts from my computer.
MacOS — making me go into system settings to allow an app to install that I’ve initiated. I know where the app comes from, I just downloaded it, why do I have to tell my own computer I trust myself to not be an idiot?
iPadOS — multitasking. I know that things are better than they used to be but it’s still a clunky experience to use multiple windows or flip back and forth between them unless you use a keyboard (at which point why wouldn’t I just use a laptop?)
iOS — not a lot these days. I’d still like to be able to customise my Home Screen layouts more, and shortcuts are still pretty unreliable, but I’m largely happy with iOS itself.
watchOS — better customisation for the widgets section. Let me have multiple complication/shortcut blocks, let me organise widgets more easily, etc. More watch faces would be nice too. A lot of the ones that are available are pretty ugly.
@HeavyDogFeet @DJDarren and more AI in MacOS and iOS, please. If I repeat a folder action three times, how hard is it to get that if I start the same action for the forth time, I would like to repeat the same sequence? Also, why do I have to correct the rather common name of my daughter 17.451 times, before the auto-correct finally gets it?
And finally; localization, which used to be a strong point of Apple, leaves a lot to be improved.

MacOS: that it is not possible to permanently connect my Mac Mini to my Homepod Mini and also to get rid of the 2s audio delay. It drives me mad when I move forward in a song or YouTube video (same on iPad)
