How do you all feel about instead of totally killing the home bar, make it widget so you can either delete it or put it where you want it to be?
 
Dropping phone calls

iPhone 13 pro bricking

Face ID won’t recognise your face

Unstable connection with Apple Watch


Plus probably something ultra obvious that they can’t notice, like when you send a voice message on iMessage your screen goes on standby and the message stops recording (like in the last 10 years), stuff like that.


On top of that, new emojis, new wallpaper, new ringtones.


This should sum it up

Nice idea but will never happen in the Apple universe.

Go ahead and start speculating...what are the features you think we will see? What do you WANT to see?

Obviously the GUI will need to diverge between iOS and iPadOS. Lots here are wondering about when iPads will start having interfaces that are not like flipping though a book of your favorite apps. I think we are past the point that a iPad is suppose to look like a larger iPhone. Just the hierarchy of this forum is questionable.

There is absolutely nothing at the moment separating the iPhone experience and iPad experience yet Apple likes to market the iPad as a variation of a computer.

As iPads possibly offer larger screens in the future the current GUI is a joke. Yes its perfectly usable, but very difficult to be doing several things concurrently. All you have a limited side by side multitasking.
 
I’d bet 99% they won’t allow moving icons freely, and I think it’s one clear case of split between the techy and real world.

The homescreen should be a tool to quickly access your apps (and maybe some info, via widgets), but there’s no need to spend time in organizing the slots whenever you remove or add one app/widget. Removing one app and seeing a blank spot in a touch-based interface seems broken to me. One of the best UX tricks of iOS is the concept of gravity (used in a different way in scrolling), and they know the automatic lock to the top-left of the homescreen is something core to iOS, and changing it would bring a lot of confusion.

What I definitely agree with is that moving icons is way harder than in the past, it seems like the sensitivity when placing apps in the gaps between icons or moving between screens is very bad adjusted.

I posted that in an other thread a few weeks ago, but I still think this would be a great step in the continuity-like features within Apple ecosystem

Something I'd find very handy would be a continuity-like feature for my Notification Center. Sometimes, I wipe off a specific notification on my iPhone, but it will remain in the Notification Center on my iPad and my Mac. It's annoying to have to see the same notification twice or trice a day because I own more than one apple product, especially when there are already too many of them in the Notification Center. I could turn off notifications from an app on other devices, but I like to be able to manage it from any device. It's definitely a minor inconvenience, but I think that this is the kind of feature that would be worth it in the apple ecosystem

I can’t argue with that, but I do think they say exactly what it can and can’t do. IPadOS brings JUST enough features to take advantage of the larger size and typical use.

I use it as a laptop when I travel and it works just fine for me. But mostly thanks to my company’s use of Office364 and Sharepoint so I’m able to access anything I did on my laptop if needed.

At the end of the day, Apple also sells laptops…quite a few. Their not stupid enough to eat much into that market.

TONS of options on the Lock Screen. I would sooo buy an iPhone if it had tons of options on the Lock Screen for example seeing your favorite websites to see if there’s an update.
I would sooo leave android that I been using for over 12 years and switch to iPhone.
 
I'd like to see an option to be able to remove the titles under the widgets as well as the icons. Also, widgets that actually move/function rather than just take you to the app. Being able to place icons where you want anywhere on the screen would be nice but I know that only gets about a .0001% chance, hard to get to optimistic with Apple.
Better voice typing accuracy, Smarter Siri. More default options like google assistant instead of dingbat Siri. Don't ever expect this to happen but sure would be better.

  • The ability to have multiple icons for the same app. This would improve the Focus experience.
  • Sort out the audio switching. Sometimes it’s too quick, sometimes it’s too hard. Rarely is it a consistent experience.
  • Organize Settings.
  • Organize the App Library and stop moving the apps and folders around in there.
  • Granular notifications. I’d like to get message announcements from favorites, for instance. Right now everything is organized by app, when what really matters is what/who has prompted the app.
  • Let me get rid of the thumbnail sidebar when “previewing” in Files.
  • Let “preview” in Files be the default. I hate launching whatever app just to find out I tapped/downloaded the wrong thing.

I’ll take some general stability, too. New bugs keep appearing. Like lately the keyboard has been disappearing in spotlight.
