I feel like the last 8-10 ios updates have just been minor 'tune ups' with a crap ton of bugs. Where is the innovation?? iOS can use a large design overhaul IMO, and it's long overdue. The last time I was excited for an update was ios 7. There have been barely any cosmetic changes since then and Android has far surpassed on the customization front.
If you say “where is the innovation” you aren't keeping attention about features, both the pro ones and the every day one like iCloud copy&paste, extract text from photos in real time…

Apple changed the strategy for iOS 17 later in its development process to add several new features, suggesting that the update may be more significant than previously thought, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports.

In January, Gurman said that iOS 17 could be a less significant update than iPhone updates in previous years due to the company's intense focus on its long-awaited mixed-reality headset. Writing in his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman explained that a change of strategy during the update's development process has added several new features:As with previous iPhone software updates, iOS 17 is expected to be previewed at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June ahead of launching in the fall. The update could offer a range of enhancements and new features, such as a next-generation CarPlay experience, changes to Siri, support for sideloading and alternate app stores, support for Apple's mixed-reality headset, and more.

There is an option for making notifications fill the Lock Screen. It’s in Settings. It’s the List option. I hope that helps you out. 👍🏻

I still don’t get why Siri still requires internet for seemingly
simple things that should be completely on device. Call so and so, or add such such event to calendar should not require the internet. Really any request interfacing with a native on device app should all be able to happen offline.
 
I can’t really think of a lot. Just a few things:
  • Option for increasing the Home Screen grid size to five wide (which would also add a row or two depending)
  • When you swipe up to multitask on iPhone, the dock would slide up from the bottom like the iPad
  • Third party app shortcuts in Control Center
  • More controls and refinements in the Camera app
  • For iPadOS, I want the new Lock Screen stuff and to continue to make the iPad more capable like a Mac
 
There are a lot of relatively small or UI-related things I want, but beyond extensive power efficiency and stability improvements, I primarily want the proper lock screen back. The iOS lock screen always existed to (1) prevent unauthorized access (if you so-desire) and (2) avoid spurious input on the touchscreen. Now, not only are there swipes on top of swipes for things I don’t want, it’s covered with one-tap or touch-and-hold buttons I can’t disable. The only input I want on the Lock Screen is swipe up to ‘open,’ and swipe left or right on notifications – absolutely nothing more. I don’t see why we can’t disable at least some of the more annoying interferences when not using a passcode. Then again, there are a great many things in iOS I want to disable/hide/delete because I don’t use them and they just clutter the UI/get in the way/waste power/etc.
 
I'm confused, who says they won't be working on the bugs?
When Apple set out to develop iOS 17, the initial thinking was to call it a tuneup release — one focused more on fixing bugs and improving performance than adding new features (not unlike the approach the company took with Snow Leopard on Mac OS X back in 2009). The hope was to avoid the problems of iOS 16, an ambitious update that suffered from missed deadlines and a buggy start. But later in the development process, the strategy changed.

Forget all known networks and selected networks should be an option in the settings app. Network names are saved somewhere but are inaccessible and this poses a security risk.
Settings > Wi-Fi then hit Edit in the top right. You can't delete them all at once from here but you can see them and delete them individually.

You can also reset network settings to delete them all at once from Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset

There are problems with this in my experience. All wifi passwords went away.
 
...can they PLEASE just FIX ONE OF THE MILLION BUGS ON THIS OPERATING SYSTEM
Ya know, I can sympathize with this quite a lot. Every time I encounter some (admittedly annoying, but usually inconsequential) bug or issue on Apple software (with increasing frequency), I always think "hey, this has to have been fixed in the newer revision(s)" since I'm normally on some outdated version. So I might, for any number of reasons, finally update that device, sometimes across several so-called 'major' revisions, just to find they still never fixed any of those issues and there are actually now more issues than before.
