Letter to Apple for iOS 7 - Page 2

superstarmc · Jan 4, 2013, 08:12 PM

Better multitasking feature. I always thought the scrolling dock was strange.

Ok, fair enough.

At least you tried it and it wasn't good for you.

That's understandable.

Why does everyone hate news stand so much?

Need profiles like the old nokias. At least 3.

Loud with vibration
Vibration only
Silent

I'm guessing for those who do not use it, there's way to hide the darn thing.

Is it really in the way that much?

Though we probably won't see any of this by iOS 7, I still want to salute the OP for an excellent letter - as a Jelly Bean and iOS 6 user, I'd love to see this on an iPhone.

Finally someone who agrees with me! i even emailed Apple about this years ago to suggest it.

If you could schedule profiles and use geo-fencing in the same way as reminders use it that would be a fantastic feature.

If they can get anywhere close to this i will be very very happy. Is it possible?

Nice letter
Even I want a few features like these.. But what I don't want is the widgets in the lockscreen ..
I've seen android phones and I feel that their opening screen is a total waste it's full of widgets and their most used apps .. Even though they have the option to remove the screen I feel it's completely useless.

Our lock screen should have widgets but it should be in such a way that it doesn't ruin the look of it.. For eg. The time widget in the lock screen should have the ability to be swiped so that one gets a widget of their choice .. In that way the person will have the widget and the look would also be not ruined ...

In iOS 7 I want these as my primary feature .. Apple shows 10 stand out features .. I want all these features to be in 1 stand out feature and the rest 9 should be other great ones which are innovative ...

They should name an App after the OP just to let him know they listened.

Do they really ever care?

yep, nice letter but there are many more things that apple needs to add in iOS to make it the best OS.

I had the same experience with the Nexus 7. It's good hardware, but the software was at most acceptable. I might have kept my Nexus 7 if i didn't have an iPod and Macbook air, that are both far more pleasant experiences, despite their flaws.

Add bluetooth wifi on and off to the profile and most of the need to manage settings would go away. Cell triangulation should be good enough for this sort of geo-fencing to avoid the battery draining gps.

The Samsung S4 has all of the mentioned features and it doesn't lag or have horrible battery life.

No more excuses Apple... give us something worth talking about or we're going to start leaving in drives.
