Hi Mark and all, Sadly my experience with the new iPhone 15 Pr is manifesting the annoying drag and drop bug wherein when attempting to place apps before or after others folders are inadvertently created against the user's will. It is really irritating and this is on an iPhone 15 Pr which was set up as new so there's no corruption potentially from having restored from a backup. I'm also still not receiving sounders for in coming email even though all is set properly. But other than those all seems well at this early hour. And I agree the 15's do feel lighter than those that had come before them. Take good care, Robin On 9/23/2023 8:56 AM, M.
