I blame Apple for essentially breaking my app-update flow. I no longer trust simply updating apps, thanks to their stupid Services drive: I now must manually pick through them and avoid the updates that bring nothing of value except paywalls (like Pages). Sorry, I will never install these apps that do nothing except upsell; I paid too much for this hardware to endure such disrespectful behavior.
iPhone Mirroring:
1. “iPhone in Use: Lock your iPhone to connect.”
2. <locks phone>
3. “Unlock your iPhone: Follow the instructions on iPhone to unlock and use it on this Mac.”
4. <unlocks phone>
5. “iPhone in Use: Lock your iPhone to connect.”
6. <locks phone>
7. <Mac connects to iPhone>
What are we even doing, Apple?
No excuse for Safari’s extension UI to take so long for basic tasks.
Try this on a site in mobile Safari:
1. Tap extensions icon; _completely_ unnecessary one-second animation to open menu.
2. Select extension (note, order is randomized after updates, no muscle memory); _another_ animation, then NO UI is visible, before extension UI appears.
3. Ask to open extension UI. MULTIPLE SECONDS pass before the UI even appears!
This is insane. Powerful phones, modern UI is a mess.
