Apple Announces iOS 16: First Look at New Features

Uggh Fifteen Years of iPhone yet we still don't have a Dialed Calls Tab! Even my 1995 Nokia had a dialed/outgoing calls list. You'd think an at this point the iPHONE would have an amazing phone app yet it still doesn't even have basic call search, sort, filters of any kind! 😭

No one makes phone calls any more. You can get to this on recent calls tab and I doubt more than 1% of users care if it is combined with recent incoming calls in the same tab

Totally. The Phone app feels stuck in last decade.

Does iOS even have a T9 dialer yet?

You have a point about the feature, but the "phone" argument is no longer relevant. The phone is probably the least important app on the device for many people. We still call it a "phone" but we all know that's just a verbal relic.

It's so outrageous that they're just bringing weather app to iPad now that it's making me angry it's finally here.

iOS 16 will be released by the time this presentation is over.
 
What the hell is the point of a better Lock Screen if I have to constantly turn on the screen to make use of it? Android has had AOD for years. Where is it on iOS?

So the vast, vast majority of iOS users?

that's your question?

not:

"why is apple getting excited about something that their devices were capable of *12 years ago*?"

literally the company is trying to convince you that the annual "refresh" of their flagship device's OS has this absolutely *groundbreaking new feature* that is not remotely new at all. not only is it derivative, it's also limited in functionality.

What is the timer window that you have to edit and delete sent messages in Messages?

Agreed, AoD ( Always on Display ) has been on Android phones for like 7+ years, and those early AoD phones still used LCD screens, and some of the early OLED screens were of poor quality, but still had AoD.

So I'm just confused why Apple can only add AoD to a phone like the upcmomning iPhone 14 Pro line, with the newest best display tech, but can't on older iPhone's. Even the iPhone 13 Pro's display have way better screen tech than those old Android phones that had AoD.

Like the customisation options. But still no always-on display apparently.

that's a hardware feature. this new software feature will likely be the groundwork for a future always on display hardware feature. good chance this comes on the pro phone's this year.

power efficiency, use case, cost. etc.... apple gets away with smaller batteries than android because they have strict power requirement envelopes that all new features must fit into. This approach has saved many many metric tones of rare minerals by keeping iphone batteries smaller than android models. Apples display research and roadmap have prioritized color accuracy, brightness, resolution, and power efficiency. they may have thought till now that introducing that tech would have created compromises in those overall characteristics.

Apples approach to engineering and design require a high wire balancing act for features and qualities that compete with each other for resources, environmental impact, and quality. Apple nixes so many technologies or delays them for future iterations to avoid compromising on something they aim to do well at right now.
