If you are driving a car and experience a sudden deceleration that can only be explained by a crash the watch or phone will call emergency services.
What sleep tracking?? To anyone who doesn’t have an Apple Watch, I bought a series 7, first Apple Watch I’ve ever own. I thought since is the Apple Watch and it’s obviously the most supported advanced product and the most expensiveeeee one!!!, it would have basic features. But noooo, this thing doesn’t even have basic sleep tracking.
I mean, you have to set the hour you go to sleep loool. It’s maaaanual tracking, manual!!! Give me a break. If you fall asleep at 5 pm for quick 15 minutes but you set your sleeping pattern between 12 am and 8 am the Watch won’t track it!!! Yea, you read that right, the Watch won’t track your sleeping at all because it’s not in the schedule you set up loool.
My 79 dollars Fitbit from 5 years ago could do this. Anytime I would fall asleep my Fitbit would record it and would show me my exact sleep patterns automatically. It’s mind blowing that the Apple Watch, the most advanced and expensive product can’t even do sleep tracking. What a joke of a product this is.

IOS 16 - Would really like Health Kit to be added to the iPad. Many users use the iPad for fitness apps (Apple Fitness, Pelaton, etc). Using a small iPhone to use the fitness apps is crazy.

They better work on multitasking in ipadOS, it's still a hot mess.
I have no idea why I’m in the Apple ecosystem given that I couldn’t care less about annual camera, health and workout enhancements.
Can confirm, the iPhone 13 does not have any settings whatsoever for turning off auto HDR. Presumably they won’t add an option for it moving forward because one would assume by now it would be included since they fixed the macro mode issue.

Would you be more specific?
How exactly has it become more difficult to set up an iPhone today?
Back up these claims of it becoming a “garbage house”, because as far as I can tell the set up process isn’t any less or any more easy than it’s ever been.
In fact now with iCloud photos, iCloud iMessage and iCloud Drive, i’d say it’s even easier.
The duality of Apple complainers on the Internet.
The OS is filled with bugs. We’re not gonna tell you what bugs, it’s just filled with bugs. It’s buggy, and the bugs are mean and big that Apple won’t fix them. This would’ve never happened under Steve Jobs, bugs bugs bugs, fix my bugs. No new features, we don’t want anything except for the bugs to be fixed…
But also where’s my complete UI redesign that gives me a brand new set of icons and the ability to put them wherever I want and every single app redesign and skewmorphism back and for my phone to show me 3-D holograms and to turn into a full-fledged computer with the touch of a button. iOS is getting boring.
Yes, we get it. iOS has bugs. It’s an operating system used by literally billions of people around the world, of course it’s not going to be absolutely perfect in absolutely every scenario. It never has been.
No matter if Apple adds features, removes features, doesn’t change anything, there’s always going to be bugs. There’s no such thing as a bug free operating system, especially one ran on over 1 billion devices.
If there is truly a bug that affects the way you use your phone, report it to Apple using the Feedback website, and email Tim and Craig about it, because posting here isn’t going to change it.
And as for a UI redesign, again iOS is used on over 1 billion devices around the world, and people do not like change. It’s best for Apple, it’s best for the consumers, and it’s best for the developers to keep things familiar and make slow changes over time.
iOS 6 to 7 was a one time thing, the entire iOS leadership was completely shaken up and completely different people were put in charge. Of course there was going to be a big change, especially since, reportedly, people inside Apple themselves hated most of the iOS 6 designs.
But just because there hasn’t been one big update like that since doesn’t mean things haven’t changed. Put iOS 7 next to iOS 15 and there are plenty of differences, plenty of interfaces that look completely different, plenty of interfaces that have evolved over the years.
I just can’t believe no one mentions this when they say the Apple Watch is the best wearable product when it’s so blatantly obvious it isn’t. This thing doesn’t even have apps, the screen serves almost no purpose whatsoever. Like seriously, any Fitbit for a quarter of the price is miles better than this thing.
I can’t believe the biggest company in the world has such a lackluster product that doesn’t even have basic functionality from 5 years ago. To be blunt, the product is garbage. It’s not the hardware just like it isn’t the hardware with the iPhone, it’s the software. The software team is so behind everyone else on Apple that it’s not even funny. I don’t know what is Craig doing there still, but it is very clear they just can’t deliver. What’s the benefit of having great hardware with horrible software? They should bring Scott Forstall back, he obviously had a clue of what he was doing.
Sleep tracking is hard. I don't think any wristband style measurement measure up scientifically; definitely not five years ago.
It sounds like the material on the inside cover is somehow conductive and the phone screen sees that as a finger contact. I use the UAG folio case and I noticed hat the lip on the rim of the case raises it up enough so the flap can't make contact. I had a similar problem on my watch and make sure I back out of the timer app after setting.
Also who cares. 50% of it will only be available by mid-September and the other 50% piece by piece over the months till April 2023.
All far away.
Apple still refuses to do what needs to be done with iOS. A COMPLETE overhaul. It’s dated, unintuitive, limiting, and non productive for users who wants to get work done and not just take pretty pictures.
Oh, you wanna see bugs? First of all really lots of freezes I couldn‘t scrennshot - never experienced before 15.4.1 - but only for you - a bug I also never experiemced before 15.4.1
Also really annoying bugs cause network stalls. Killing the appocation, e.g. Safari and the page loads in milliseconds after e.g. Safari tried loading the page for minutes.
Tons of bugs. I stopped reporting most of them since Apple doesn‘t fix em. Since „Feedback Assistant“ reporting became a nightmare.
So, don‘t talk - just ask. Bugs are piling up - with every iOS release. Today also the Bluetooth stack crashed.
Apple's own documentation is pretty poor:
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph2cafe2ebc/ios
It rather leaves you hanging - expecting a How to for iPhone 13 - which never comes.
I seem to be alone in this one but the top of my iOS wish list is per-app volume settings.
I need some apps to be full volume, some to be quieter or fully muted. Sure, I love it when I launch some game that blasts me full-on with obnoxious music and sounds only because I needed to increase the volume earlier for something else.
Just seems like I'm needlessly having to tweak the volume way too frequently.

Yeah, the specifically don’t mention the iPhone 13 in the how to turn it off section so it was definitely intentional. I haven’t noticed any issues with it, I honestly don’t mind it being on. Glad they fixed the macro thing though.
