In the week from November 19 to 21, 2024, users and travelers faced a series of technical challenges. From bugs in Apple devices to service restrictions in the long-distance travel of the Deutsche Bahn—the events raise questions about the reliability of technology and services.
iPad Split View Reaches Its Limits
On November 19, iPad users discovered that when using the Split View feature, two video contents cannot be played simultaneously. Specifically, this affected the combination of the Firefox Klar Browser and the Apple TV App. This behavior has already been documented on YouTube, suggesting that the iPad system does not support simultaneous playback of videos in different apps. For users who appreciate multitasking, this is a noticeable limitation.
Apple Notes with Synchronization and Usability Issues
Also on November 19, a bug occurred in the Apple Notes App on the Mac. An important note regarding the CES appeared only in the iMessage chat, but not in the Notes App itself. This led to confusion and potential data loss.
The problems continued on November 21 on iOS devices. Users reported difficulties in placing the editing cursor; it could not be placed at the desired position and jumped uncontrollably into already typed words while typing. A proof video documents this frustrating behavior. Additionally, pasting texts caused them to be unintentionally distributed across multiple lines and cells, significantly complicating usability.
Persistent iMessage Notifications
On November 20, another bug occurred in iMessage. Users repeatedly received the notification “New contact photo available—update contact” in chats, even though this had already been confirmed multiple times. A screenshot from 6:58 PM documents this error. Such recurring messages impair the user experience and indicate synchronization problems within the ecosystem.
