A comment on Bugs Apple Loves.

Some of these bugs are more well known but for some like AirDrop not working or hotspot not connecting I always thought “well it’s probably because some power setting / DNS config / ad blocker / whatever” that I accidentally changed from the default years ago.

Nostalgia is real but I do remember a not so distant past (around iPhone 4S or so) where AirDrop worked, autocorrect worked, text selection was flawed but predictable, WiFi connected and stayed connected etc.

What happened?

The funny thing is all of those features are fine for me.

AirDrop and hotspot work 50% of the time for me. It’s a shame since they must own all of the stack for those technologies
