My personal crusade against the "minimized keyboard accessory" control for iPadOS continues.

Today's example: I wanted to create a new folder in the Notes app, but I couldn't because that thing was covering the button. 😡

Nearly two months later, and because of the glitchy 'iPad minimized keyboard accessory' thing, I *still* cannot add dates to my reminders with natural language input. Among other issues.

Yes, I filed feedback two months ago. (See above.) I'm guessing it will probably ship like this, completely broken. 🤷‍♂️

While we're at it: none of ~20 Feedback items I filed in this beta cycle have been officially addressed (but I was privately told they're appreciated), and widgets – the core feature of iOS 17 – are still losing their configuration on the Home Screen every few days for me.

I like iOS 17 a lot, and I understand Apple is swamped with the Vision Pro, but it feels like this whole beta > Feedback > beta process needs to be fundamentally rethought.

@viticci @marcoarment in a large project the fixes will probably not make it into the next beta. Or the one after that. Those betas are probably already baked and undergoing final testing. And every bug is being triaged and weighted and measured against cut lines in what ever Apple calls their “war rooms”.
