⌘W on the last window of an app in iPadOS 16 actually seems to quit the app, regardless of whether you've got Stage Manager enabled (or if it's even supported on that iPad). Still can't direct typing into the right app regularly — so plenty of room for improvement on the basics.

From my dad — seems to still be an issue.

More generally, the Apple Watch Ultra was undoubtedly expensive but has been a *very* helpful aid for my hearing-impaired father. The watch speaker/mic are good enough he’s able to carry on a phone call, versus his usual struggle with “my MFi hearing aids aren’t connected yet”.

Definitely the latter. First all Command/Globe shortcuts stopped working, then I literally could not bring up a keyboard (software or hardware), just got brief flashing in the keyboard area until I rebooted. This is RELEASED software, folks.
Can you really not go to the home screen on iPad from the keyboard any more in iPadOS 16, or is something being weird for me?

Think we might have a consensus here.

Yup. This took me a long time to realize but I am so much happier now I have done so.
This has been my “trick” too: I’m not always the smartest in the room, but I’m *real* good at what I’m good at. And then I’ve worked at it to be even better. 💪 This thread is worth a read 🧵

And so, so many misdirected emails. I’m now up to about 20 a day.
Having a gmail address with a cool and short handle (like [email protected] or [email protected]) used to showcase you're cool and tech-savy to get an early invite and secure that neat name. These days, it showcases you're old.

I rebooted too. App somehow was stuck in an un-updatable state.

Can’t make this up.

Got my 300 today. Is iOS missing a CVX mapping or are we doing something wrong I wonder…
Seems like the bug was fixed whereby WordleBot’s luck calculation differed.

Physical usability issues with iPhone 14 Pro thus far: The flat edges have been challenging for me to hold comfortably (coming from round-edged XS). I expected to need a new car mount, but not so much new wireless chargers

Building from source worked; set the deployment target to iOS 11, changed the bundle ID. github.com/martinhering/inst…
Uh-oh. (Still had been my primary podcast client.)

iOS 16 dictation improvements are exceptional. Thanks so much to everybody who worked on them.

Answer: one piece of it (the disclosure triangle that snaps to another size) for 2 release cycles. The triangle is gone and there’s no attempt to animate individual elements in iOS 16.
So, not only is this animation terrible but it’s also crashy. Wonder how long this will stay around.
