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.

        Oh yeah for native iPad features it’s kinda neat, albeit it takes some getting used to. But when you just want a basic mouse, it would be nice to have it behave that way when there aren’t fancy native UI elements to snap to.

      It bugs me immensely that, in order to have Hot Corners, you have to turn on Assistive Touch and have that button floating on the screen.

      I dislike how inconsistent or broken scrolling can be for third party mice. And the lack of customization options for extra buttons.
