I wished they would make the flashlight color adjustable (warmer/colder). It‘s been a “true tone“ flash since the 5s but always the same cold light when using the flashlight.

I've been using Day One for over 10 years now and don't plan on switching. I actually despise when companies release apps that directly compete with independent developers who have worked hard to establish a committed user base and perfect their app.

They instantly either get put out of business or struggle to compete. The least that could have happened was apple could have bought them out for a decent price. Saves your own staff development time, because I can't see how much more Apple could possibly add to make their Journaling app better.
 
It would be handy if the wallet app kept all of your payment receipts forever instead of just the latest ones, or - even better - if they were digital copies of the actual shop receipts. But I suppose the terminals aren't capable of that.

Maybe one day Apple will do a proper money app, like the old Microsoft money

Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 during its WWDC 2023 keynote on June 5, which is just over a month away. Ahead of time, rumors suggest the update will include at least eight new features and changes for iPhones, as outlined below.

The first iOS 17 beta should be made available to members of Apple's Developer Program moments after the keynote, while a public beta will likely be available in July for members of Apple's Beta Software Program. As usual, the update should be widely released in September, around the time that new iPhones launch.

Some of the features and changes listed below might not be added until later iOS 17 versions, such as iOS 17.1 or iOS 17.2.

iMessage Contact Key Verification

In December, Apple previewed a new iMessage Contact Key Verification security feature and said it would launch globally in 2023. This timeframe means the feature would be available in iOS 17, although it could launch earlier.

iMessage Contact Key Verification allows users who face "extraordinary digital threats," such as journalists, human rights activists, and government officials, to further verify that they are messaging only with the people they intend. In conversations between users who have enabled iMessage Contact Key Verification, users are alerted if a state-sponsored attacker or other malicious actor were ever to succeed breaching cloud servers and inserting their own device to eavesdrop on the conversation.

As an additional layer of security, iMessage Contact Key Verification users can compare a Contact Verification Code in person, on FaceTime, or through another secure call to further verify they are communicating only with whom they intend.

Control Center Revamp

iOS 17 will feature a revamped Control Center, according to @analyst941, a source who accurately leaked some details about the iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island before the device launched last year. The source said Control Center will be more customizable, and the flashlight brightness slider might become freely adjustable up or down, whereas it is currently limited to four preset brightness levels.

Wallet App Revamp

iOS 17 will include improvements to the Wallet app, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The leaker @analyst941 claimed the Wallet app will be redesigned with tabs and search functionality, as shown in the mockup above.

A revamp for Wallet could make sense as new features continue to be added to the app, including Apple Pay Later and Apple Card Savings.

Next-Generation CarPlay

At WWDC 2022, Apple previewed the next generation of CarPlay, which will feature support for multiple displays, widgets, and integration with vehicle functions like the instrument cluster, climate controls, and FM radio.

Apple said the first vehicles with support for the next-generation CarPlay experience would be announced in late 2023, with committed automakers including Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Volvo, and others. Apple said it would share additional details about the next generation of CarPlay later this year, and this... Click here to read rest of article

Be nice to be able to change fonts, change icons, and move icons around instead of snapping to a grid.

Why ruin iOS for anyone not forced by law to suffer. The vast majority of users don’t care and don’t want it so why impose it on them.
If you don’t want it don’t use it. Just because you don’t want it didn’t mean others don’t
 
hope sideloading is absolutely nerfed and completely unusable just to screw with EU and the sideloading minority
And if they do, I hope the EU brings down the hammer like the wrath of god: regardless of whether you think it’s a good policy, it’s their market to regulate how they like and every country should have complete control of its internal affairs.

good, hopefully step closer to EU overstepping their authority and businesses will pull out of the market or challenge them at ECJ.

Copyright or patent intensive businesses will never entirely “pull out of” any market that isn’t a heavily sanctioned regime already classified as a rogue state, because they can’t abandon their property there. At most they’ll stop selling products there, but that doesn’t relieve them of obligations towards EU citizens (which is how the GDPR works, for example).

If the members have enacted the enabling legislation, even if the directive is ultra vires the national legislation makes it effective, so a court challenge would probably have to be based on violating an apple shareholders’ human right to private property, and that’s only been successfully used against Russia.

or do what google did and intentionally break laws to get themselves banned. see china.
 
Any thoughts on whether Apple will ever update its abysmal Mail app iOS17? It is awful and glitchy and while Spark and Edison Email are far better, privacy seems to be in doubt with both. Thanks in advance.
