iOS 7 Hopes and Wishes (merged)

[ajvizzgamer101]

Siri already can tell you where friends are through Find my Friends.

Wow it does, didn't know that. Thanks. List fixed.

 

[ajvizzgamer101]

Why?


Again why?


Siri already does this lol?




Image Excellent idea. Can't tell why this hasn't been implemented already.



That's a nightmare. There's a reason you can only activate it with a physical button - having it turn off via software and by hardware makes for a ****ing confusing situation. It's like having one light controlled by two lightswitches. Bad enough. Now make one of the lightswitches invisible.


Agreed. Should combine calculator and stocks while they're at it.


This is a horribly b/anal thing. It's a name. Relax.


No thanks. I like my battery life.

lol, FaceTime would work well with 4 people. If Apple implemented it right we could have the Geo-fencing mute, too. Maybe if enabled it turns the mute switch into a rotation lock. Live icons wouldn't noticeably hinder the battery life.

But *why*? You realise there's a similar feature conveniently located on the outside of your phone right?!

Live icons wouldn't noticeably hinder the battery life.

Clearly you a) do not understand how badly push sucks battery life, and b) have never installed live icons on an iOS platform. It absolutely MURDERS battery life because it has to CONSTANTLY check to display an accurate reading whenever you might randomly elect to 'dashboard' as it were. If it only updates when you look at it (which could take quite some time depending on your coverage) it ruins the point entirely.

ass

I meant things like editing track names, track artist, etc

Hahaha oh okay, fair! I agree actually

[Pulsedriver81]

my hopes

1. Enhanced lockscreeen functionality (Weather in lockscreen for example)
2. Open up for 3rd Party widgets in NC accompanied by an extension of app store with a section to buy 3rd party widgets. (To make it more apple like, they could limit the amount of widgets in NC to 3 or 4 so it doesn´t get cluttered)
3. NC settings (See above)
4. Make the static icons dynamic. It doesn´t have to be animated all over the place. Just use the icon to present more info from the app (like Calendar icon shows todays date)

 

[paulbennett95]

Remove newsstand and add the magazine functionality to iBooks.

Change volume slider to brightness slider on the multitasking bar.

Combine notes and voice memos

Add widget section to App Store so people can buy widgets for NC/LS (heavily moderated by apple so we don't end up like android)

Fix inconsistencies with UI design throughout all of apples apps.

 

[Rodster]

I don't ask for much. How about speed and OS stability?

 

[mentaluproar]

Things seem quick and stable to me.

I prefer my quick view solution instead of widgets from App Store

Need a complete UI change like Sony Xperia phones.

Never going to happen... I hope

I don't know why people want Exposé on iOS. Sure it would be fun to look at but really waste system resources. The reason why it's useful on the desktop is because each app has multiple windows and you can see all the windows you want.

On mobile devices the screen is smaller and having a thumbnail of each app which itself only has one window/screen does not provide enough information to warrant the extra distraction. With iOS's current multitask bar each icon is recognizable and they are arranged near the home button so you can get in and get out.

With Android style multitasking and its thumbnails which aren't even live, it makes the tap targets so spread out that you have to reach all the way to the top of the screen even when the activation button is at the bottom of the phone. Also, the app thumbnails change depending on what content you were viewing which makes it less efficient to scan with your eyes and tap the right app.

 

[Parise]

If this has been mentioned, sorry.

But the ability to see EVERY DAMN MESSAGE DETAIL. I'm tired of the round about guessing when I received a certain sms or iMessage.

 

[HMI]

I would like the lock screen and all password screens to enter only "*" characters, rather than the real password character and a long lag before replacing it with a "*". What's the point of using a password if anyone sitting next to me can easily see every character entered?

Wow, that is an awesome wish list. Reasonable, realistic, and I would use every one of those feature. Bravo.

 

[Parise]

Also implement the Android "do not disturb" feature where it turns on when the phone is placed face down.

 

[jmxp69]

Wow, that is an awesome wish list. Reasonable, realistic, and I would use every one of those feature. Bravo.

Yeah, I think these changes are in the spirit of Apple evolutionary M.O.

 

[Rogifan]

How about a select all option in the mail app so when you have a bunch of emails you want to delete you don't have to tap on each one to select them?

 

[Duelight]

Edited

I want to download a section of maps to use turn by turn offline.

Here is a useful feature:

Here is a useful feature:

Siri, turn on flashlight.

I said iPhone 4 not the. 4S



Am 100% sure. That ios 7 8 and. May be 9 will come too the iPhone 4S



But what am not sure of is the iPhone 4 that will be Geting ios 7 if it dos It will likey olny be bug fixes


iPhone. 3GS. Will likey not get ios 7 at all

Okay, the iPhone 3GS has a large chance of not being supported... but the iPhone 4 will have until iOS 8 and the iPhone 4S should have until iOS 9. I mean, the 3GS has had updates all the way to iOS 6... it started at iOS 3 and that means three major updates. If this pattern repeats, then the iPhone 4 should have until iOS 8... iOS 7 being it's final update. I would also suppose the 4S will have until iOS 9, iOS 8 being it's final update. Apple tends to consist of patters, and this is just one of many.

----------

I think that you should be able to answer any message in any app! This includes the lockscreen. It would also really help apple stop minor apps for messaging on the App Store - they won't be able to do it and it will almost form a sort of "monopoly" on the texting apps.

 

[HMI]

Here is a useful feature:

Siri, turn on flashlight.

Siri, increase screen brightness to 60%

 

[pommie82]

Too be able to block Calls or SMS
iam shocked they have bothered to put that feature in it would be hard to put in either some phone have the built in already just click it and then it blocks it handy for code callers.

- Third party widgets in the Notification Center - Widgets that devs can include with their apps, as an extra.

- Data usage monitor

- Full Bluetooth support, sending files, contacts, syncing, connecting to external GPS, etc...

- Wi-Fi Direct support/Airdrop

- Multitasking gestures - Zephyr - Flick up for the Springboard, Swipe up and hold for the Switcher

- SBSettings(Quick switches) in Notification Center - Wifi, bluetooth, airplane, cellular data, 3G, brightness

- Camera - the app needs Timer, time/date/location imprinting, stabilization shot, 720p @ 60FPS recording option, White balance, Exposure, Light sensitivity(ISO), Contrast, Sharpness, all of these should be added.

- iMessage - Needs an ability to share location(Map) like with WhatsApp, right from the iMessage. Current you can only send photos from iMessage, but Maps and Contacts shortcuts should be added too. Also it would be great if the image EXIF data was preserved when sent so the receiver could "open" that image in Maps and navigate... quickly snap a picture of a location, send it, the receiver gets the image, taps "Open in Maps" and finds the route to you.
