> It started with the macOS that brought the iOS settings panel. We went from a logical structure of easily findable stuff to a complete mess. It’s difficult to pinpoint when exactly the decline started. But one key event before the Settings app was the Catalyst apps that were straight out and dismal ports from their iOS versions. Till date, none of those work well and cannot be navigated properly using the keyboard. Reminders, Messages, Notes and more. Craig Federighi seems to be increasingly taking on so much authority without having a trusted set of people under him and his leadership (or lack of it) has resulted in neglecting software across device platforms. Some of the Apple apps on tvOS with paid subscriptions are worse, because the bugs in them don’t get any attention at all.

Notes straight up crashes if you "open this note in a separate window" and edit from there for prolonged periods of time (minutes, not days) I think if you minimize the main window it gets even worse It's completely unacceptable

  If you cut text in a "separate window" note, it will delete the text, but it won't actually copy it unless you issued the command for a note in the main window. So when you go to paste it elsewhere, you find it's gone, and then you often find Notes has lost the undo history too.

  I'm curious if this is a bug that other people deal with, but I have to screenshot stuff to send folks all the time. Screenshot, right click, and "copy" doesn't appear. Sometimes moving the app to another screen makes it appear, sometimes just switching to another app and back will help, sometimes I can't get it to be an option at all and I have to close screenshot and retry. Really awful. Just make it an option all the time.

    When Microsoft decided to rewrite the screenshot app from Win32 to WinUI, it had plenty of bugs, to the point I kept the old exe around for about one year. The one that mostly bothered me, was not being able to select desktop regions if using multiple monitors, the rectangle region went nuts on what was possible to select.

    I just want to be able to save the image to a folder and copy it to my clipboard when taking a screenshot. iirc in KDE Plasma's Spectacle, these options are checkboxes, you can enable as many at once as you like.

      Have it set to the clipboard always, and then to save somewhere cmd+space open preview and hit cmd+N

      Unfortunately its a work Mac, and they don't permit "unauthorized software". I also don't need 99% of all of that, I just want the screenshot tool to not suck. I just want to grab a bit of the screen to paste it into chats so I can tell people what problems I see.

my beef is with the new iOS having to take like 3 clicks to disable bluetooth now

  And no easy way to block phone numbers from the caller list (among other things). iOS 26 is the first upgrade I really regretted.

  I actually have a simple shortcut created just to turn off Bluetooth entirely (helps speed up watchOS updates by forcing it to download directly over WiFi). I also have shortcuts to turn off WiFi completely and to turn off both WiFi and cellular data without putting it in airplane mode.
