I’m not sure what you’re talking about here. I use Quick Look all the time and haven’t seen any problems with image display order.
Yeah, as @ddmiller wrote, it’s something to look at now that Apple has brought the new Home architecture back. I’m a little worried about it because I have a LOT of devices and scenes and automation and I would be very unhappy if I lost them.
Someone sees this with the Apple Watch or iPhone or iPad after every update. Let it finish setup and indexing and all the necessary background cleanup tasks for a day or so, and then see if the battery life is still being negatively impacted.
I mocked Apple leading the release notes with the new emoji not because I think it’s silly to add them (well, sort of) but mostly because I think it’s ridiculous to promote the addition as the top improvement. I have to assume that adding a new emoji is trivially easy and isn’t done by a senior-level engineer. As David Shayer wrote, it’s highly unlikely that bugs will be fixed this late in the release cycle because the risk of causing other problems is too high.
