All these things above are good but all I need right now is a properly functioning iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Dare I say it? Following Google’s footsteps lately.These yearly OS releases are getting pretty corny. They promise a bunch of things in the spring, put out an incomplete and often buggy release in the fall, then gradually fill in the gaps over the following months. Why not just, you know, release it when it's actually ready?
Because they need a new release in September to support the new iPhones with new hardware and features (e.g., Dynamic Island, bigger cameras and new photo pipelines, etc.).These yearly OS releases are getting pretty corny.

Yeah. It’s kind nuts from both sides. I personally couldn’t care less to see a number instead of a bar chart. In fact seeing the actual percentage gives me anxiety, but I understand that other people like to see the number. And from Apple’s side, I can’t believe it took them so long to bring the percentage back for those who want it.Can’t believe one of the biggest features on iOS 16 is a battery percentage indicator lol
I mean I’m happy but Jesus Christ this is where we are now. A freaking battery percentage indicator is a big deal.
iOS 16 seems to have done that…at least for me.Don’t care about any of these things. I’d rather want them to fix what they broke in the past and bring some joy and fun to it all again.

Very informative and helpful post. Keep 'em comin'.iOS 16 - full of bugs and missing features
Pretty much this. I get that everyone’s use case is different but I do not understand the point of stage manager.Battery icon > stage manager.
Sad but true.
My lord, you complain about everything and don't give any specifics. This is just mindless Apple bashing for the sake of bashing.All these things above are good but all I need right now is a properly functioning iPhone, iPad and Mac.
So don't use it. Why bash a feature that others may find useful just because you don't? Not everyone has the ability to comprehend the use of a given feature. You don't even tell us why you don't understand it. Perhaps we could help you.Pretty much this. I get that everyone’s use case is different but I do not understand the point of stage manager.
I mentioned this before, I think Microsoft had it right with the Windows 10 updates, there were bi-annual feature releases and then regular bug fixes in between.If features are going to be delivered like that, i.e. when ready, then what's the point of annual iOS release?
It might be the most requested feature ever.The only explanation is mobile phone features are saturated. All that’s left to innovate are gimmicks.
Because the music app is horrid.Why not find a way to incorporate classical music into the music app? I've been hoping for something in the music app to link songs (like linking Speak to Me->Breathe) so that neither song would ever play on its own when shuffling. I think that feature along with a few different fields would make classical work fine in the regular music app.
I’m all for that. Maybe they could also come out with a Christmas music app as well. Nothing like “play my music“ during a summer party and have Bing Crosby’s White Christmas work it’s way in to the rotation. 🙄Apple Music Classical sounds good, it'd be nice to keep classical playlists separate from the rest of my playlists/saved albums.
Freeform looks interesting too, I had never heard of it. It kind of reminds me of an app called Sketch Pad I think it was, with a near infinite canvas, good for brainstorming.
You mean, at Apple?Software development is changing to provide small improvements continuously vs Big Bang releases.
Because my list of saved albums and songs of regular popular music is huge. And I would like to build a huge list of classical albums too. I guess this could be solved by having a dedicated "classical" tab in Apple Music, but who decides what is "classical"? Would that Prokofiev recording by the obscure Swedish music label know by itself to go into that tab? I wouldn't want to manually sort them.
Slow down there buckaroo. No part of my post “bashed” it. I didn’t say that I don’t understand it … I said I don’t understand the point of it.So don't use it. Why bash a feature that others may find useful just because you don't? Not everyone has the ability to comprehend the use of a given feature. You don't even tell us why you don't understand it.
