8 things that (still) bug us in iOS 6

24.09.2012

No screen capture

For years now, there have been apps for jailbroken iOS devices that allow you to capture videos of whats happening on the screen. But iOS 6 still doesnt allow you to do that. Its not a feature that everyone needs, but its absence drives many of us at Macworld nuts.

There is an old-fashionedand extremely clumsyworkaround: Point a camera at your device and shoot the video that way. Alternatively, you can use the $15 AirServer application, which allows you to mirror an iOS devices display to your Mac. Once on your Mac you can then use a screen-capture utility (QuickTime X, for example) to capture the mirrored image. And you can use an Elgato Game Capture HD (though some of us still prefer the image-quality of the AirServer solution). But itd be really, really nice if iOS 6 had this capability built-in.Christopher Breen

Siri cant change Settings

I use Siri every day. I use it to set reminders, send iMessages, perform searches, create meetings, and launch apps with the voice recognition assistant. But one thing I cant doand wish I couldis use Siri to toggle settings. You can ask, of course. But Siri will politely refuse.
