These stories always remind me how few new features I use. I hear people complaining that Apple isn't innovating enough, but I feel like I've stopped using new features about 5 years ago. That's not entirely true, but certainly if I need to memorize some hidden gesture then I'm not using it.

I guess that's why I update hardware so rarely.

When I turn on the "iCloud Tabs" option on "Customize Start Page" in Safari on my iPhone, it shows up dozens of websites I visited months ago on my iPad.

Then I longpress on one of those ancient website links and select "Close" and it disappears. But then I reopen the Safari app on my iPad (with no webpages opened), and that same website link reappears on "iCloud Tabs" on my iPhone. There's no way to permanently delete them. It's weird!

I'm sick of having issues with iCloud. A few days ago it took more than 30 minutes to upload a 15MB file on my Mac. I'm talking about 15MB, not 15GB! And also few days ago a screenshot I took on my iPad it took about 1 hour for it to show up on Photos on my iPhone!

How do I restore the App-Icon spacing to something that doesn't look hideous? There's half a mile on the left and right side between bezel and icons -and the icons are centered in the middle, super tiny, but again with enough space between them to park a truck.
Selecting "Use Large App Icons" improves it, but the gap left and right remains... ? WTF, Apple? Did noone test this on an iPad mini?
