Same old Gurman. Always a "may", "might", "expecting", "possibly". These guys are getting attention for just writing wish-lists.

Gurman: iOS 16 to Feature 'Significant' Improvements to Notifications, New Health-Tracking Features, But No Major Redesign

The only thing I want is a homepod app like Sonos. It’s such a mess at the moment.
When you finally get to control a speaker, there is a major lag in getting anything to play. For some reason if you go into the podcast app it will then start playing on the speaker you were controlling, even if it was 2 hours ago.

One thing I’d like to see re. notifications is being able to recover recently deleted notifications, like on Android 12.
Otherwise I’d still like to see a revamped keyboard.

If it doesn’t get a major redesign then there is still a good chance that the iPad Mini 4 and Air 2 may receive the update. Same thing for tvOS as well considering it also hasn’t changed much in terms of design. Dont forget the A8 Apple TV HD is still on sale for now and who knows if it gets discontinued before WWDC
Sometimes what Apple calls "improvements" aren't really that.
Yeah, I agree completely. Those types of top-to-bottom visual refreshes are hardly ever good, they always launch missing features or with significant issues that soak up dev resources just to get things back to where they were.
Thats what happened after iOS7 and its exactly whats happening right now with Windows 11. Its better to iterate and update areas as new features/functional improvements require them.
How about fixing multitasking? How about actually keeping apps open in the background for more than 30 seconds so they don’t have to reload when I switch back?
Notifications are fine, just sync them across devices. But multitasking is garbage compared to Android.

Sure would be nice if Left Behind notifications didn't sound like every other notification. As I drive away, leaving a valuable behind, it'd be nice if my iPhone/watch blared out a siren or alarm or something instead of a ding like I already hear a 100 times a day.
Please let me place my app icons where I want while aligning them to a grid. AOD would be nice too. And oh, while you're at it, interactive widgets also please, with cherry on top.
I was hoping to see some quality of life improvements to Mail and iMessage, myself.
How about allowing whatever audio I'm streaming to return automatically after being interrupted by a phone call or FaceTime session? Also, another vote for coordinated notifications between all devices. If I respond on one, I respond on all.

I am with you. Me: "Hey Siri, what's the weather like today?" . . . . Siri: "Where?"
All these pastel colors, on the new macs, macOS, iOS and iOS icons look awful. Too childish. Give us a minimal, neutral and more futuristic look.
I don’t believe anymore to see an AOD on an iPhone in the near future.
Apple wants to sell Apple Watches tonnage this quick view for time and notifications.
They won’t bring an AOD to the iPhones.
Have them like android basically
I’d love that, but I think it’s unlikely given that the bright colors are the norm across tech platforms right now, on Windows and Android too. But looking at pictures of older macOS reminds me how nice the subtle, more neutral color scheme can look compared with the bright, saturated, “Playskool” look.
As long as you can easily turn it off.
I feel like apple makes these “synced” features and then its like pulling teeth to disable it.
Personally I don’t want any interaction between my iPhone and anything else. I like that I don’t get texts on my mac or iPad.
They may as well call iOS 16, 15.6/15.7 or whatever number we are at during the time. I think we’re at 15.5 beta now.
Glad to hear notifications will be fixed. They’re trashed compared to Android.

Please please get rid of the the 3 spot horror on top of safari on iPad.
I’m sick of accidentally opening tabs and apps that have tabs and multi windows.
Adding new features is good but it’s now becoming at the cost of ease of use!
To many things to press tightly packed together is always resulting accidental taps on things I don’t want or need, and no option to turn them off.

And alarms… my wife’s alarm is torture… especially when she snoozes three times.
Lol. The amount of people that were pissed about iOS 7.
I would like to actually share my „Focus“ status (Opt-In of course). There is a difference between „sleeping“ or „working“. The latter may just lead to a delay in responding, while the first one would imply „don’t expect an answer“.
iMessage also needs improvements or minor tweaks that are more than Memoji. How about a custom background! Self destructing messages etc
Oh and how about finally extending the TouchID / FaceID lock from notes to any other default app such as Photos or specific folders? I know 3rd parties can do it (many do!) yet apple is lacking behind its competitors in this regard

This must be what Bloomberg means.
A relatively slim feature set is promising.
It likely means that they are focusing on enhancing, refining and fixing what they already have.
Curious at to what the new Heath tracking features could be with no new hardware.
Get your wife an Apple Watch and then she can use haptic feedback as her alarm; no more annoying alarm sound.
I have found it so much nicer to wake up to, instead of abrupt, jarring sound.
