The iPad’s software
I was thinking that I would like to share tips on how to improve the iPad’s interface. Here seems to be a good place. Out of constantly seeing little important details that would improve the user’s experience, I also thought that it would be really nice to exchange about such improvements and of who fun it could become. My mind likes it when Interfaces display the minimum options at once while those representing all the given necessities. The scope of this thread is broader and was created to have a space for thinking about software efficiency design. Like why on my key board should I press .?123 to then uncover #+= under the shift button? Meanwhile there are now a + sign displayed at twice upon my eyes! Ah! If I could be hired to redesign the iPads keyboard user’s experience, this world would slightly be a more efficiently structured place.

Accessing and changing NTFS Extended Attributes
I need to be able to access programmatically the NTFS Extended File Attributes of a remote Windows file server, specifically Title and Genre. (When these files are imported into Apple TV Library it includes these attributes for easy sorting). I'm planing on creating a Python program to access the files. Given that, how would I change these attributes programmatically?

Video playback performance suffers unless I wiggle the mouse
For years (since I got my M1 MacBook Pro) I've experienced this weird performance degradation. I've tried posting about it to numerous channels, always without a reply. I figured I'd try here. The symptom is: video playback (of visual frames, not audio; audio is unaffected) stutters if I just let the player play. I'll start a video playing, it will play normally, but if I leave the computer alone to play back, the frame rate will drop dramatically (one or two frames per second, even slower). If I wiggle the mouse (generating events), playback resumes normally. After a few seconds, it will stutter again. It's as if the computer were throttling back on system clocks or something because there’s no user input. As you can imagine, this is a frustrating user experience when trying to watch videos. It doesn't matter if it's a YouTube video playing in Safari, or a WWDC video playing in the WWDC.app or Developer.app, or any other video in QuickTime Player.app. And it doesn't always happen. I have my own video playback app that doesn't seem to suffer from this, even though it plays multiple videos simultaneously. I'm on power adapter, and settings are generally set to maximum performance when on power adapter. Any ideas?

Overnight Notification Center message, "bash was prevented from modifying apps"
Wake up this morning and see this very concerning sticky message in Notification Center: bash was prevented from modifying apps It didn't say what parent program called `bash' so I clicked on the N.C. message to see if there was more information and it just disappeared (as if I had chosen to click on the X to clear the message-I wish I had taken a screenshot first). I have already sent in a request to Apple for them to give more detailed information on events like this. If there is an existing threat on a device it needs to be removed. The only thing that I know of that happened overnight was a SPAM email from "Norton Antivirus" came into my Gmail Inbox that wasn't filtered as SPAM and macOS announced it in Notification Center. I don't see anything funny in the RAW data of the email - and reported it to spamcop. Is it possible that a malicious email could contain html code that runs when it's announced via macOS Notification Center?

18.1.1 broke car play
Just got a new 16 Pro and set it up Monday 11/20. It was on 18.1 and everything worked fine. I accidentally updated to 18.1.1 (didn't turn off auto update) 12/2 and now Carplay doesn't work. I have to use a cord in my car for carplay. I have tried all the suggestions listed online and nothing works. I tried to erase my iPhone to go back to 18.1 but in the set up process it showed updated to 18.1.1 with no option to refuse. Incredibly frustrating and so many others have this issue! How was this not caught during beta testing???? This post was rejected from the apple forum and they sent an email saying it contained beta information. 18.1.1 shouldn't be considered beta and if it is then why was it pushed out to my phone? I didn't want a beta testing!

Reviewers are testing an old version
Hi everyone, We've submitted my app for review several times, making improvements with each submission. However, the reviewers keep providing generic feedback and irrelevant complaints. For example, we changed the logo and primary color, so it's clear they aren't reviewing the correct version. We've ensured that the latest version was properly uploaded for review. They also keep claiming the app contains "testing data" like lorem ipsum, but none of that is in the database anymore. I'm at a loss here. Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this?

Safari ios 18.2 download problems
iPhone 15pro iOS 18.2 Downloaded files cannot be located anywhere in Files, only by accessing Downloads in Safari. I have tried setting download folder to various locations, iCloud, Phone, Google Disk, but nothing is stored. Has an invisible cache or temp folder been introduced? If so, it is a total fail: When press-holding any file in Safari download, the normal file action options (Quick Look, share, store to Files, etc) are not available. When clicking any file it opens any of several apps that has this file type associated with it, and there is no way to change the default app or disable the forced opening of an app. I tried deleting the app opening .csv (in this case OneDrive), and another irrelevant app opened. There seems to be a hierarchy of apps-file types, and it has no logic to it. Tips?

Storage
I just tried to update to iOS 18.... Stated I needed to free up storage... I did..... Attempted to download the update it stopped halfway because now the update has taken up all the space and now telling me I need 11gb more which basically is me deleting everything off my phone as I've already deleted the original amount they asked before the update started. At this point stop updating the iOS because it's just a sham to make people buy more storage space

Help Needed with SwiftUI: Custom Button Animation Issue
I’m trying to create a custom animation for a button in SwiftUI, but the animation doesn’t seem to trigger properly when the button is pressed. I’ve followed the standard approaches using withAnimation, but the button only occasionally animates. Has anyone encountered this issue? Are there specific guidelines or common pitfalls in SwiftUI for button animations that I might be missing? Any insights would be appreciated!

Multiple IPSW for same version
Hi Team, I just want to know the reasoning behind why there are two IPSW with same version and different build IDs. Example: https://ipsw.me/iPhone12,3 Version: 18.3 BuildIDs: 22D64 and 22D63 Also, in future, on what devices this kind of two buildIDs will be created?
