LOL, yeah there are some pretty harsh folks on here
Hoping for a lot more improvements and redesigns. Oh great, more multitasking on iPads. How about bringing some of that to the iPhone specially the 8Plus and XS Max. You have a huge screen and a super fast processor and yet can only do one thing at a time. I would love to facetime while doing something else. Or even having the ability to watch videos on half while composing a note or searching the net. For god sakes please also update the lock screen, incoming call obtrusion, volume hud, unlocking the phone once faceid confirms, no extra step of swiping up. Move the control panel swipe to center of the screen or bottom.
Takes a $1 trillion company almost 13 years to remove the most obnoxious effing volume indicator this world has ever seen from their OS. JFC SMDH
I know it’s always thrown around, but will dark mode help battery on OLEDs for sure? Does anyone have a battery test link to prove this? I would use dark mode for this alone.
A lot of times UI uses dark grey, not black. In these cases, the pixels wouldn’t turn off. Curious to see real world results.

if its true black dark mode implemented system wide then it should definitely help with battery life on OLED displays.
I’ve been doing a little google searching since I posted. It seems each color draws different power on OLED displays. So even red is better than white. Dark grey or black is the best. Also, Google outlined what dark mode does for Android.

Results should be similar when paired with an iPhone. Apple loves to optimize, wouldn’t be surprised if they took it a step further.
Right?? It's like, I know the functionality I want is there, it's just that about half the time I accidentally trigger something totally different. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the functionality is there somewhere, but... there's definitely some room for improvements there.
I just want the ability to send phone calls automatically to voicemail if they aren’t in my contacts, if it’s important they can leave me a voicemail. That and disabling autoplaying videos on the web. Let’s go already, such a blight
There's no shortage of dictionary apps in the App Store. I don't know what you're asking for here.
And while they're at it, don't hang up on an incoming call if I close my iPad cover. It's happened more than once that I'll be using my iPad, a call will come in, and I'll instinctively close the iPad so I can go answer the call on my iPhone. But closing the iPad hangs up the call. Not cool. If I don't specifically tap Decline, I shouldn't be able to stop the call on any device except my iPhone.
I have no issues whatsoever on my phone. On my iPad? It usually takes two swipes when it should only need one. I'm not sure why it doesn't translate at the larger sizes, but I thought it was just me.
I have learned to use the gestures pretty well, but I don't think you are wrong here. There are a ton of gestures and it's gotta be really tough to keep them easy and consistent across the OS. I am sure Apple realizes this, but I would imagine it's a pretty difficult task. We'll see what they do.
Sorry but I don't get it. LCD displays use less power with a static screen but with LEDs you're always powering the display. AOD would be more practical with an LCD, where you could dim the backlight to save power. Not the same with LED. And moving the display around a few pixels won't prevent areas of burn-in.
I'm ready for my phone and iPad to not assume their screens are the same size. I'm fine with the icon layout on my phone. Why does a device that is roughly three phones put together force that same layout on me? 5 icons wide when in landscape on an 11" device? That's ridiculous! The iPad really deserves its own interface. I keep wishing every year. Maybe this year.
All: this is a news thread about the revelations today. For a more exhaustive discussion, head over to the dedicated thread for all iOS 13 speculation: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-13-speculation-thread-merged.2173921/
If they make it so that a phone or FaceTime call doesn't totally hijack the phone until the call is either accepted or ignored, that'll be a big win in my book. If the phone is locked, I don't care if the call notification takes up the whole screen; but if I'm in the middle of doing something on my phone, what I'm doing shouldn't be totally interrupted when someone decides to call or FaceTime me. A simple banner notification with the options to accept or dismiss the call would be much better, I think.
Dark Mode = Awesome
Volume HUD = Cool
Siri not picking up every time it thinks it hears something close to that = Game changer
While those things are great, here's what we really need (IMHO):
Siri shortcuts able to access anything and everything. For example, I wanted to setup a voice activated shortcut to set my display to never sleep while I'm doing certain tasks where I need to see the screen while doing other things.
Ability to access network drives (both internally and remotely), as well as being able to have a real filesystem on the device to store those files if need be. This would alleviate saving a PDF to iBooks and then sync'ing the device, along with a host of other files people need on a daily basis.
Built-in calculator on the iPad (2019 and this is not thing?). I have to run an ad based 3rd party app just to crunch numbers. Insane.
Mail app that has rules just like the desktop app so that I can automatically send SPAM to our mail server's spam folder. I should not have to buy a 3rd party app that doesn't interface properly with all other iOS apps to do something so simple and critical.

Wow! Grounding breaking stuff happening at Apple... keep up the awesome work TC.
Just in case anyone didn't catch that
