I'm not sure if this is what you want but I found an alarm app that goes off every minute and you can set it so you have to confirm the alarm x amount of times. alarmed. but it's not user friendly and a little complex, I think it's about 5 dollars. but I think you can download a demo to test it out. once you "get it" you can customize the amount of snooze time/very easily snooze things on a case by case bases.

there are also other apps where you can do math equations or something to wake up but those don't work for me.

it cannot however play podcasts or music when you wake up which is what I personally would love as an alarm clock. I figure the reason why this doesn't exist is cause of ~Apple~ but if someone tells me this is possible just no one has made it I might just learn Xcode/swift.

"hmm , can't seem to wake up in the morning. maybe i should spend my evenings learning to code a solution to this? seems reasonable"

it's worked for me tho :v: it's a nice way to wake up. I had an app on my computer that did it but it was unreliable unfortunately.

The auto-correct is alright. I don't know if it's because I've become acute to it's quirks, but most of the time I can guess what it will correct it to so I just keep typing. However I use to be able to 3d touch/move the cursor with ease. Ever since the new update my "style" of doing it has stopped working and instead I have to do a cartoon-wind up with my thumb to activate the 3d touch.

This is all I can give for praise. It boggles my mind that we still don't have a button to copy, and a button to paste on the keyboard. Or how we still have to shake the device to undo.

I never got why people care about how fast the iPad/Phone is. I've never once looked at my phone and said "you know what this needs, more speed". What is everyone gonna do with all that speed?

it comes with a seperate way to charge it in the box

to be fair neither solution is elegant. The other charger is this tiny piece of plastic that sticks awkwardly out of the pencil. The apple pencil is a good example of anti-design.

either way, why remove the headphone jack on the ipad? i find it pretty stupid on the phone as well (just make it thicker and get rid of the camera bump and get some extra battery), but as a fraction of the volume i do buy that the jack does come at some cost there. on an ipad though? such a tiny thing

apple/google? I guess, wants to become a flat surface with no buttons or holes. somehow Apple has convinced people that less features is in fact revolutionary and a benefit for the user.

edit: I went to the Apple store recently and the iPad is pretty slick. I like the shape, and the pencil feels lighter (but the pencil also feels a little plasticy). I can confirm it noticeably wobbles when laying down, which I know others mentioned itt but I'm still laughing about it. i wonder if people would genuinely mind if the iPad camera was just okay.

you guys know any bluetooth headsets that actually have a switch or something to pair to another device? like my keyboard has a button for up to three devices. I like my Bluetooth headphones but switching between my computer/phone is kind of a pain. it says it supports two device pairing but it's crap.

do the AirPods pull this off better?

and it loving kills me because when airdrop does work it’s incredible. so fast and works around whatever broken-rear end local network you might have. I just wish I could see the other computer >50% of the time

ya, I don't even know how to share files to and from my phone unless it's airdrop.

as far as im concerned itunes still has the best ui for managing a local library. yes its clunky and bloated and the ui is actually not very good, but what are u going to use to manage 25,000+ songs, foobar? vlc?

this is true. but I switched to iina and folders. but during the brief period of time of searching for another iTunes for Mac they were all worse.

The shortcuts app is odd. When it works it's cool but a lot of the times I'll think of something and then come up to a wall where apple specifically doesn't allow that feature. Things like oh why don't I make a shortcut that toggles mono/stereo; nope not allowed to use settings.

I use xnviewmp (scroll down until you see Download XnView MP 0.92, it's free). It's a bit much ui wise, and I had to spend a day customizing it. I use it all the time, and it's nice for browsing folders with a ton of images. It does recursive too.
