iOS 13 Expected to Feature Dark Mode, Redesigned Volume Indicator, Improved iPad Multitasking, and More

I really want better notifications. Group chats constantly interrupt my reading and music listening with unnecessary overlays and "bings" which also lower the volume on my music. It's all getting to be really annoying.

Why are they adding dark mode? No one wants it And no one will use it if it comes out.. what a waste of billions of dollars to develop it

I'm probably well outnumbered here but I think pure black dark modes look dogsh!te.
 
Wait, so somebody actually composed an email so full of angst about the current volume indicator situation that it went all the way up and Federighi was compelled to write a response? Ha ha ha, this is so :apple:.

Also, the mock-up shows the Airplane Mode to be on while the cellular signal indicator has full bars.. :rolleyes: Just saying :)

These are things that people have been asking for on a virtually non-stop basis for a long time. Every time there's a beta of a damn point release the first comment is "dark mode?"

I also wanted dark mode for my Mac and it's so confusing I couldn't even work. I use the original... So who cares? I rather have new real useful features, not an inverted mode.
[doublepost=1555385848][/doublepost]has anyone seen the volume indicator in the instagram app? it's tiny on the left corner of my XS max. it's awesome & unobstructive. They need to use the available wasted space of the notch.

Try a dark mode only for menus on your mac. That is how i used it and it is much nicer than the dark mode apple introduced.

I hope that the ios dark mode has nothing similar than the awful dark mode in macos.
 
Apple are going to have to be VERY careful with their implementation of Dark Mode in order to conceal the grey banding and uniformity issues on their OLED models. If you don’t know what I mean, you will soon enough...

While I do recognize that not all people have the same needs/use devices the same way, for me, battery life has not been an issue with the iPhone X, can't remember the time when I had to charge the phone before the evening. So for me, battery life is not a big deal at all.
 
Would really love a new UI redesign. I love iOS but it’s really boring to look at now.

I use many apps with their own dark modes and I see no banding.

Battery life has gotten worse since the X models. It’s most noticeable with the plus-sized devices which have much worse battery life than their pre-face ID versions.

Its a nice feature that just allows you to glance over at your phone and see any info you want without having to pick it up or without needing to activate the screen. Android phones have had it for years, Is actually a useful feature IMO (When I had a Note 7 for the few weeks before the recall, I really grew to love it)

Ergo, Apple Watch.
 
Floating windows for ipad multi-tasking like a NORMAL computer. A decent file system, not this "lucky dip" if a file opens with something on the extentions. The ability to plug in a USB or Hard drive and get files off physical media, my god! Better cross app integration, like endnote citations within word for example. Mouse pointer support when its hooked up to a screen! Basic stuff like that

Yeah, well. For me is the opposite and I consider myself moderate to heavy user. But to be fair I only need my phone's battery to last until I am ready to go to bed.

This is not something that people can have different opinions on. Even apple says the battery life is less.

An ipad isn't a computer replacement and never will be - fundamentally different use cases. It's primarily a device for content consumption, not content creation. Apple claims that it is because of their steadfast refusal to build a touch enabled mac.
 
iOS is almost too simplistic and has been generally the same for the past 5 years or so. I’d like to see more features to the various native apps (Camera, Notes, iTunes/Podcasts, etc) and an overall redesign to be honest.
