Those are all cosmetic, ace. Knowing Apple as we do, odds are we'll lose some functionality as well. But hey at least it will all look...meaninglessly different.

Thank God! FFS get rid of the damn three colored circles for window management! Make them squares and BIGGER! MacOS is the most outdated unusable UI/UX in the modern world. What is it, a decade since it has been touched??? At least in Linux I could change the damn circles myself 
And even the search bar in Settings can't find things half the time even when you spell it correctly.
how about a way to scrub voicemails easier. It is next to impossible to do easily
Might as well lurch into a significant OS redesign while trying to figure out WTF “apple intelligence” is going to be.
I really wish I could disable the swipe to the right to access the camera. Whenever I try to swipe notifications away half the time I end up activating the camera.
I’ll say it: iOS 18 was a bust and half of the promised features never came, so all devices that ran 18 should run 19 as a mea culpa.
iOS 18 wasn’t even iOS 17 Service Pack 2. It was Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence! And it never really became much more than some photo stuff and writing tools. Siri is still dumb as ever.

The Mac has Textedit, and you can add Word or Libreoffice or Pages. Journal would be redundant.
They have to do something. Those Samsung phones are looking better and better everyday. The tech in them is like 30 years in the future. Whoever denies it is living in a cave. The only problem is that google makes you the product. If you could turn off more google, I might have to switch
Definitely it will have a staggered roll out. Not pinning any hopes on Siri and Apple Intelligence. Waiting to see the rumored design overhaul.
It is hard to hear about 19 when Apple can’t keep it’s promises on features for 18! Maybe Apple will give us the features in 18 with the release of 19.
Do all systems really need to look the same?? A system I handle with my finger is inherently different from one in 3D space from one I use a mouse/ trackpad... trying to make them alike removes what makes them unique or better and just makes them all mediocre.
I never understood Apple’s logic for imessage spam reporting. It always offers the spam option when deleting messages from stores saying its time for pickup but it is hit or miss when you get a real spam message.
I fear another bug riddled mess with many 'why the heck did they change this into that?' experiences... They can't get Apple AI to work as it is, so uh yeah... why would this be a success? There are already a lot of iOS design 'features' that have me scratching my head. Nothing brings the current problems as clearly into focus as having to explain how to change some setting to an elderly relative that just got a new iPhone.
Example: I want to restrict and manage access to my contact list in Signal (Whatsapp, Telegram,...) because I loathe data scraping apps. It is insane the hoops you have to jump through to do this. It is almost as if... Apple really does NOT want to you to manage access. Do you have MLO WIFI at home? Good luck with that... iOS refuses to automatically jump to a faster non MLO connection even after you lost connection. How do you operate Apple HomePods without shouting at it? Why can I not select music from my iPhone independently from my HomePods?? Where is this hidden?
I'll stop here now. There are just sooo many stupid things going on in iOS18.
/end rant

Apple can we please bring buttons back to the UI?
We're all tired of not knowing which text fields are buttons (i.e. tappable) and which are not
