As much as I don’t like negative threads, there’s one thing in iOS that really irritates me, and I want to air it…
Pressing and holding the tab button in Safari to access tab groups, should have a haptic response.
Because it doesn’t, I often end up opening the tab view instead, so I have to huff a little, hit Done, then try again. I don’t know why it annoys me that it doesn’t because none of the other buttons in Safari do, but I feel like it should.
No, I have not contacted Tim Apple about this. Yes, I probably should.
The lack of real mouse support in iPad OS.
My gaming rig is currently out of commission undergoing repairs, but I was luckily able to continue participating in my multiplayer Baldur’s Gate 3 nights using Nvidia’s GeForce Now streaming. However, I’ve been forced to learn how to play using a controller, because iPad OS does not have real mouse support.
I was able to plug my iPad into a thunderbolt dock which gives me keyboard input, wired internet, and a “cursor”, but the cursor is only a simulation of touch input rather than an actual cursor.
I can see how for games that could be frustrating, but when going around the general interface I quite like the adaptive cursor and how it snaps to buttons and changes based on context.
