In our latest YouTube video, we're highlighting some of our favorite "fix" features that address long-running problems in iOS and macOS or that bring significant improvements to the usage experience.

Some of these major improvements include an option to erase a Mac without having to reinstall the operating system, connecting to a Mac using AirPlay, requesting refunds for in-app purchases directly within an app, getting an alert if you leave your phone behind, automatically removing expired passes from Wallet, and more. We've even thrown in a couple bonus tvOS features.

Still didn’t fix my #1 annoyance.
Flash ON is buried in the tray. Bring it back to the top left with Auto/Off.

New feature in iOS15 : 'get an alert if you leave your phone behind"... UH... what am I missing here... If I leave my phone... 1) how does it know it was left behind and 2) how does it alert me? I left it behind!
If you have an Apple Watch it alerts you there.
