All I want from iOS 17
With WWDC ‘23 less than a week away (Apple forgot my invite again 😀) I wanted to share my only wish list item for iOS 17. A fix to display zoom. I’ve documented this a lot on the site in posts like this and this. Even if I switched to a larger device from my…

Ok Apple, instead of complaining about it I’ll help test accessibility on the iPhone 13 Mini
Instead of complaining in posts like this one I decided today to install the latest beta on my Mini and start to test again. On checking into the Feedback app I notice I raised bugs on this in October 2022, here in May I haven’t had a single comment so I am doing just as…

Is iOS 16 Apple’s buggiest release?
I run into bugs with iOS 16 almost daily, especially when I was running in display zoom mode but this is a new one. I’d love it if we didn’t get any new features this year and Apple just concentrated on making iOS more accessible and ironed out the bugs.

iOS 16 light and dark mode switching
I’m trying not to complain too much on my blog these days but with the withdrawal from social media I need some outlet to get it off my chest 😀. Since iOS 16 (I’m using the iPhone 13 Mini) there’s been a really annoying problem. If you run in dark mode there’s a flash of…

Overnight battery drain on iOS 16
Are you experiencing excessive battery drain on iOS 16? Since updating my iPhone 13 Mini to it, I have. I’ll lose between 10-30% of battery overnight. Looking at the battery stats I can’t figure out why. It’s a very strange one.

Apple releases another buggy version of iOS 16 on the iPhone 13 Mini
All I ask is Apple tests iOS 16 on all of it’s devices. iOS 16 has been a daily frustration on the iPhone Mini. Just like I wrote about before. I’ve raised bug reports with Apple for all of these and no replies or apparent work on them just leave me not bothering to report…

Switching to Android from iOS is hard
I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem since the iPhone 3G and I knew I’d become dependent on iOS but with iPhone dominance it’s hit home as to how dependent I actually was. Between iMessage and iCloud I’ve locked myself in. It’s also made me realise why Apple doesn’t open these up to Android, users locked…

iOS 16 on the iPhone 13 Mini needs someone to test it
I’m all for reporting bugs with iOS 16 on the iPhone 13 Mini but when none of them are worked on it gets frustrating. I know it’s not new someone pointing out the waste of time that reporting bug with Apple is but I’ve hit my limit now too. This might get old but all…

Does Apple fully test iOS accessibility?
I’ve done some testing after my post this morning and I’ve made a discovery. This bug only happens on Zoom mode enabled, something I use. Sigh.

Apple adds a flash of white light to apps in iOS 16
This is a weird bug that I was hoping Apple had worked on between the release master last week and the official yesterday. It’s stopped me using Notes and Reminders. It’s like there’s some debug code still enabled but if you watch my video you’ll see a flash of bright light before the app fully…

Hands on with iCloud shared photo library
This all looks very encouraging. Really good write up from MacStories.

When is iOS 16 going to be released?
I’m looking at the rumours and I’m thinking that iOS 16 is going to be released on 15th September 2022. The next iPhone is rumoured to be coming out on 16th so I’m thinking iOS comes out the day before. I’ve been playing with iOS 16 and I’m not a fan so far but letting…

Running iOS 16 on the iPhone 13 Mini
I’ve held off running the iOS 16 beta this time around. I’ve been busy and didn’t want to mess with anything. But now I’m back off holiday I put iOS 16 beta 4 onto my iPhone 13 Mini. In my testing I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how it runs. Battery was down about 10%, which…

What should you consider before installing the iOS 16 public beta
So with the launch of the public beta of iOS 16 it’s tempting to put it on your main device but it’s important to think about your next couple of months. iOS 16 with launch for everyone in the first two weeks of September so from now until then you need to think about how…

iOS 16 beta iPhone 13 Mini battery life
I’ve been testing out iOS 16 on the iPhone 13 mini just for the fitness plus classes and after a day of testing I’m about 20-30% less after a full day compared to iOS 15. I finished the day before bed on 22% where normally that would be around 40-50%. If you have full days…
