All the iOS 15 Features You Won't Get Until Later

What about lane guidance in Maps. No one seems to be talking about that and it was silently scrubbed from the release notes before iOS 15 came out. No mention of this feature being something coming later, it just seemingly was scrapped and I'm super sad. :( I really love the recent additions to Maps and I use it nearly every single day. So I was really looking forward to the lane guidance stuff for sure.

I am in the beta program for my M1 mini and 12.9" iPad Pro. I can connect to the iPad from the mini and move the mouse across screens.
 
120hz mode for AppleTV? Apple has been getting really “old” with all these feature showcases that don’t arrive when said. This article reveals a pretty shameful account of all that’s not, that was to be.

History shows some of these features can take months, a year, and just sometimes, aborted entirely.

APPLE CLICK BAITING us.

When is multi user account mode coming to iOS devices?
It’s not a storage issue anymore. :rolleyes:

What is the need and folly of having to publish a new version of iOS when it is incomplete? Is it for marketing? Incomplete this, incomplete the other, this other is missing, this does not work, this is not for the rest of the world, What about Apple? Publish your iOS when it's perfectly ready and complete, the world can wait another half year without a problem. What is your foolish apple?

Apple shouldn't bother with annual releases when they're not a big deal anyway. They're just over promising and under delivering. That's the opposite of old Apple.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of the new major OS release every year schedule. I miss when it was 2-3 years between major OS releases. They usually had the time to get most of the bugs fixed by then. But now each OS is only just getting kind of stable and then a new one with a whole other set of issues is released. Or if they want to keep a yearly schedule, then let one of the two years be the big feature adds, and the other be optimization and major bug fixes with some small quality of life improvements. On my laptop I ended just sticking with a one year old OS for the most part. When the new one was about to launch, I'd update to last years release. That way I pretty much always got the most stable version of the OS.

Do you think they should release new iPhones without an OS to support them? Or delay the new phones until the OS is complete? However you define “complete”?

Devices used to come out with point releases. The iPad launched with 3.2

All of these posts are right. It's gotten to that point in time Apple just needs to backoff the expectation they've set of a yearly major iOS release. I'd be ok with that as someone deep in the Apple ecosystem. It creates this issue where a feature can be promised (but not prime-time ready), and by the time they develop it further, they realize they're not going to really make it work like it was envisioned... or things change, and they decide it's better off not having it. I'm not a programmer at all, but I can totally see a situation like this playing out.

I still prefer this to what they used to do before, trying to cram everything in each year to be in time for the new iPhone and ending up with an even more unoptimized/unstable final product.
 
Also, I can’t get the live text feature to work on my iPhone 12. Is it on a country by country basis?
 
Overall iOS15 is a very modest update yet they dropped the ball on all those major features... No wonder Apple wanted them employees came back to Apple Park ASAP😂
