Reply to background-attachment:fixed still not supported?

This absolutely needs to be fixed and it's so ridiculous that Apple still hasn't done it, but I came across a decent workaround if anyone can't wait for Tim Apple to wave a magic pencil: https://codepen.io/callumfindlay/pen/VaYeoW

How to increase the width of PencilKit .pen stroke?

The default PKInkingTool with inkType .pen seems to be limited in its stroke width. With a maximum width of around 25.66. Why is that? How can I increase it? Example code: canvasView.tool = PKInkingTool(.pen, color: .black, width: 10) print(canvasView.tool) //Prints: PKInkingTool(tool: ) canvasView.tool = PKInkingTool(.pen, color: .black, width: 20) //Prints: PKInkingTool(tool: ) //Problem starts here: canvasView.tool = PKInkingTool(.pen, color: .black, width: 30) //Prints: PKInkingTool(tool: ) canvasView.tool = PKInkingTool(.pen, color: .black, width: 100) //Prints: PKInkingTool(tool: ) How can I increase the stroke width? 🤔

Reply to Unable to pair Watch with iOS9?

I know this is beta. But I mean how can this pass even the most basic QA tests that happen during a beta cycle. This is by far the worst beta test that Apple ever had. Not being able to pair a watch takes thing far beyond a slugish OS or bad battery life (which was always the case in every beta).😟

Reply to Extreme Battery Consumption: wOS 5.1.3 beta 3

If you do see power/battery issues, please don't hesitate to install the Battery Life and sysdiagnose profiles, reproduce the high drain rate, then file a bug with a loose description of what you did throughout the day and your typical % (before updating to the newer build).These types of issues are *really* helped by having detailed logs to investigate.Thanks!-nick

Reply to iOS 9 Beta battery life

As many others have pointed out battery life issues are common with IOS beta releases. Especially early betas. For those still wanting to use it i have found setting up my devices as new ones rather than restoring from backups has helped battery drain issues. also battery cases are a very affordable work-around at least until things get nailed down. just my two cents.

Reply to Apple Pencil Pairing Issues

i'm having the same exact issues. Trek all the solutions other posters have noted with no success. However I can pair a $19 Wacom stylus with no problem While the $99 Apple Pencil is virtually useless until Apple does something.

Reply to Testing iOS 26 but experiencing severe overheating

Testing iPad OS 26 and my iPad got so hot it scared me. I immediately erased it and downgraded back to iOS 18.5 and no issues. I’m currently running iOS Developer Beta 26 on my iPhone 12 Pro and only issues so far is Apple artificially shortening battery life again.🤦‍♂️

Reply to Scrolling with Apple Pencil does not work in 9.3.

I hope they add an option to enable scrolling. To be honest using the pencil to scroll the entire surface area is a lot eaiser then using your finger. I know this is a first world problem, but my arm gets sore using the pencil seems to use less energy. ALSO more importantly I hope Apple realizes it super not convient to scroll with a Pencil in your hand. It just awkward to transition from Pencil to Finger vice versa.

Reply to iOS 9.3 Beta 2 not showing in Software Update

No fix, I'm still using iOS 9.2.1 with this stupid control center lag and s*** battery life. Can you imagine that a beta version is performing better than a GM.

Reply to watchOS 4 Beta 2: HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE

I agree. Beta 4 is doing much better for battery life. On one of the old activity faces I have just under 50% still at 5pm. Looking sort of normal now.
