I’d love to see stock widgets become more useful. I use the 4 person contacts widget and there’s easily room to add the message and call buttons under the names, in the same way you can with an individual contact. I don’t understand why it isn’t an option. Sometimes it seems like Apple thinks we are all using our iPhones with maximum size text turned on.
Got a tip for us?

What do you mean?
Android has yearly releases as well. Many Samsung and Google phones receives updates for 5+ years.
7 years of software updates for the Pixel 8 series
Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will receive seven years of ongoing software support across Android OS, security and Feature Drops.
Tim, just make sure iOS18's Siri knows who I am. After all, I am the most important (only) male in my household. She shouldn't have to ask me who I am twice a week!!!
Strange. Mines the other way around.
Also if you need to create a custom password, it still saves it. Not much of an issue.
This has been the direction for iOS for the last few years. The last few versions borrowed quite a few features from Android.
At the end of the day having more options, more flexibility is great, those that don't want it, they can just keep using iOS the same way they've been using it until now.
Now if Apple will announce a few changes/upgrades for the notification system it would be brilliant.

All this super high-tech stuff like changing colors and moving icons around is mind-boggling. I can finally understand why Android i so far ahead!
If they are finally able to introduce the ability to type "Hello World' on the home screen then all bets are off! I don't want to sound like a doomer but perhaps it is time for a moratorium until we can wrap our heads around these new technologies.

Exactly.
Current icons all stink. I'd like to be able to replace them with the previous good ones.
As an example, Firefox icons have gone seriously downhill over time. I've replaced the one on the Mac with the good one from 2009, it would be great to do that on the iPhone too. As a bonus, it doesn't have the awful square box around it.
(I like the 2004 icon's fox better, but the 3d globe is MUCH nicer from the 2009 icon. 2013 is much worse, 2017+ is just unspeakably awful.
This is exactly why they haven’t given users that ability so far
But this sounds like a way for them to maintain some control over what the icons look like, while still giving users some customization over color palette, so they can make an “aesthetic” home screen. That’s what i’m hoping for 🤞
that's a welcome change actually. I always felt the messages bubble should be blue, and the notification of red badge on green icons was always eye pain inducing
Nope. Apple password don’t comply with many sites… datxUp-zuhcu5-kedjox
Apple just uses the same format for every password. One upper, no symbols (just -), too long, etc. They need a lot more controls to specify password formats (excluded symbols, number of symbols, uppers, etc). I should have to override the password it generates. Computer should make my life easier not harder.
About time
people can really enjoy their wallpaper without massive amount of apps

Let’s hope you can recolor credit card in wallet I have 3 card that’s look exactly the same except the numbers.
"Biggest update ever," they've said, or at least, the rumor mill has suggested.
I know this is just the beginning and just a snapshot of what we'll actually get, but the leaks I've seen so far do not seem terribly exciting or compelling. They're certainly not enough to breathe new life into the platform, if it even needs it.

Not really as almost no one asked for this lmao. If you want to tinker and customize and fix a lame Os, get android. It’s what it is made for and stop trying to make iOS act or look like android.
These features might get current users to continue buying iPhones but it isn't going to get Android users to switch.
