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.
swinging back around because I was just reminded of this trying to get to a calculator: iPad OS still not having a built in calculator in 2023 because Lord God Steve Jobs proclaimed a million years ago you can just use your iPhone. Sure you can. but why is that a reason to not have a feature? Fucking infuriating.
I was reminded of this last night when I opened the calculator on my Watch, and did a sensible chuckle.
When I save things and then go try to find them in Files and they aren't there, only to find out later they ended up in some hidden part of the file system that Files doesn't see.
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.
ipados sometimes shows me annoying translucent grey boxes in the app menu until I reboot. (I think this is the smallest problem I have with ipados, but I'm sure I could list more)
Some notifications only have the option to snooze, not dismiss.
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.
