So, dark mode wooooo and all that, but has anyone else been using the smart invert colors feature as a substitute dark mode? It's actually pretty functional for most things and it works to introduce a pseudo dark mode into apps that otherwise wouldn't be touched by a system level update. Map that to triple-click on the power switch and boom; instant dark mode on demand.
I'd love for CarPlay to be added as a mode directly on the iPhone's screen. There are still too many car models out there without CarPlay. It would be good if we could clip our iPhone to the dashboard and have it display the simplified interface of CarPlay rather than the full iOS.
The only reason I include the 6 is because of their 1GB RAM and the 6 Plus' tendency to be a slow piece of ****. As a former 6 Plus owner, the screen size was awesome, but the performance was garbage. I can see the 6S and SE being supported for another several years like the 5S because they have everything they need to keep going.
Fair point about the 6. I must admit, for me I never had any issues for my 6 but with my friend, she was threatning to throw her 6 out the window because of how slow it was.

Actually having CarPlay consistently work would be a nice change, especially with 3rd party apps.
Mark my words. They'll find a reason to only permit iPhone 7 and newer to upgrade. Everyone else will have to buy new phones if they want the cool, new features.
Which was generally not the case for the past several years of iOS, unless it was a hardware constraint. What makes you think this year would be different?
I could see the iPhone 6 not getting it. I could see them making it only available to devices with 2Gb ram. If my iPad Air 2 doesn’t get it I’ll be pretty frustrated. That device is still runnning like a champ.
oh, I do like that idea! i used to have a dimmed mode mapped to my home button. but this is a nice idea too. I have yet to add a Triple-Click to my new phone. i didn't even think about how without a home button.
Because he’s spot on most of the time
Yep, it's going to be that translucent dark shade we see in the Notification Center
I don’t think they’ll ditch A8 devices this year, unless the iPod touch and iPad mini is rushed out before WWDC. Even then it would be rare to see Apple ditch software support a few months after discontinuing a product.

They need to push forward. Yesterday proved that their phones are too good and last too long. I see at least SE and 5S dropping support.
I like CarPlay, but I would LOVE it if they made split-screen apps possible. I hate having to switch between the music screen and the Maps screen. I don't need a giant interface for both (especially music). It's frustrating when your car's default, built-in home screen can incorporate all that stuff and more, and the "advance" CarPlay system can't.
For the love of good just let me put app icons anywhere on the screen at any size. Been asking for this since iOS 2 or 3

Apple has been guilty of a lot of sins but, especially with IOS 12, having the OS cripple a phone by itself hasn’t happened. The entire reason I ended up with an iPhone was when I wanted to upgrade my Android to a current version I found out that I couldn’t. My phone wasn’t recent enough. Look at the different Android phones then look at the OS they support. Just like in the Apple world the expensive phones can accept updates longer. The only advantage, and in a world where old OS’s means security risk, is it’s evidently easier to move backwards to an older OS on Android.
What am I missing about the love for dark mode? What's so great about it?
I can see Craig Federighi on stage now with this top 10 features of iOS 13:
1) Dark Mode
2) Carplay updates
3) Magazine subscription
4) Mail handing attachments normally
5) ...
Just release a new iphone with the iPhone 8 form factor to satisfy us all.
Please Apple make it so CarPlay has a split screen mode. I want to see the current music that is playing while also showing the map/directions. Bugs me that I can't see current music information if I'm following directions on the map screen or while in any other app.
Multiple Do Not Disturb schedules, please! Been sending in feedback requests for a long time and this would make my wife very happy! Happy wife happy life! You know it!
I didn’t have it long after I installed it, but I installed IOS 12 on my 6 Plus and it ran so well, and the new iPhones were so expensive, that if I wasn’t having screen problems on the 6 I definitely would not have upgraded my phone.
