Apple, music and lock-screens
Relationship status: It’s complicated

Lock-screen weather animation needs sound…⚡

 

[Juggernaut99]

What exactly would that do? Not sure what the combined function does and how it would be useful.

I have to put screenshots into Slack for things at work pretty regularly. Before it took multiple taps to copy it and then delete it, but now it's easier. (Or I would have saved it to Photos, uploaded to Slack, and later deleted it from Photos.) Certainly not a flagship feature, but I will find it handy once I consistently remember that it exists!

I thought they meant this

Yes, this is what's new.

 

[CoolTomatos]

There is now a set of widgets from the stock Books app.

What car/screen do you have? I am digging the wide resolution

The Lock Screen clock widget now works and seems to properly display the time of another region.

Love the new Copy and Delete feature with screenshots.

YESSS!!! No more having to save that crap to the camera roll just because I was trying to send someone a quick explanation of w/e.

 

[Kylo83]

now let us remove the home bar and ill be happy

Hilarious that this is considered a new "feature". It's the most basic information that mobile phones have been displaying since the 1990s.

Equally hilarious that it's been software locked on some models. That is just.. incredible. Well done, Tim. Well done.

About time for the battery %. Now can we have the alarm icon back as well please?

 

[Analog Kid]

Ok, I gotta ask... Why are people so hung up on a numeric charge indicator? I mean, the little battery icon is probably good enough to estimate the nearest 10%, and it's not like discharge is anything like linear, so what different decisions do people make when they know it's actually at 42% rather than guessing it's 40%?

This has been such a thing, and I can't get my head around it. Most people I know ignore their analog car fuel gauge until the light comes on, but apparently knowing all the significant figures of their battery charge is critical...

 

[kid1230]

nice give us what we had already what is this windows 11?

 

[LeadingHeat]

Battery level is available on the iPhone 12 and 12 models, with the exception of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. It is also available on the iPhone X and XS, but not the iPhone 11 or the iPhone XR.

what?

 

[one more]

“When you take a screenshot, edit it, and then tap on "Done," there is a new option to "Copy and Delete" the screenshot rather than just delete it.”

What is the point of this “Copy and Delete” option? Copy it to clipboard, but not save it to Photos?

 

[bassexpander]

Is there any explanation for why the 11 pro would not get this?

They want you to upgrade. They can pound sand, and it'll just look like one more reason why the OS is becoming frayed, like Android. Do they really want to lose that leg up on the competition? Android keeps improving. IOS keeps fraying.

No 13mini battery indicator, bummer.

Well, that’s cuz it’s smol

 

[bassexpander]

Is there any explanation for why the 11 pro would not get this?

They want you to upgrade. It's getting difficult to find reasons why they should force you, given that the chip is certainly fast enough.

 

[Haust]

No 13mini battery indicator, bummer.

Makes no sense to not include on the 13 Mini. Simple things like this is what irritates me about iPhones.

 

[23Aaron]

Some nice small quality of life updates!

Now if they could add the an option where it connects you to a public Wi-Fi and you press cancel, it allows you to go back to cellular rattler then selecting another network or connect with no internet, iOS16 will be a winner!

It's really obtuse, but you can do this by swiping up on the home bar/pressing the home button.

Obviously, you don’t have OCD. 😀

Many people are "hung up" because they are in MR land and need something trivial to complain about year after year, even though a quick pull down shows the same. lol

 

[arsenicwater]

I have to laugh as an iPhone mini + pre-M1 iPad Pro user... really starting to feel shafted with these releases. 🫥

 

[Take Flight]

Love the new Copy and Delete feature with screenshots.

I love the amount of thought put into handling screen shots in recent years. Seems like such a trivial thing but definitely time saver and reduces clutter in photo library.

Not sure if this is just par for the course or specific to Apple, but nice either way.
