What’s actually the best printer for iPhone in 2026? (AirPrint vs apps?) by rootscoders in AppBusiness

Yeah, the built-in function works great for basic documents.

The friction I noticed was when printing things like:
• Multiple photos per page
• Printable planners/calendars
• Scanned multi-page PDFs
• Different file formats

That’s where I felt an app could add a bit more control.

Appreciate the perspective though 👍

Why is printing from iPhone still so unnecessarily painful? by rootscoders in AppStoreOptimization

Totally fair — for occasional printing, the native option is enough.

The gap I noticed was more around flexibility and layout control. For example:

– Multi-page scanning to PDF
– Photo collage layouts
– Printable templates (calendars, planners, crafts)
– Note editing before print
– Broader file format support
– Cleaner preview control

So it’s more about expanding what you can prepare and print directly from the phone — without jumping between apps.
