iOS 17 Rumored to Feature Wallet and Find My Improvements, macOS 14 to Be Minor Update

[al256]

I'd like to be able to get directions to friends and family that have "Find Me" while driving.

I am not a fan of the way Apple waits to update ** APPS ** with major iOS iterations.

I mean I'm sure the major app updates they do require new APIs, which require a software update.

Can it include a feature where it remembers what the battery percentage of the airpods case was when you last took them out? Please? Anybody...?

 

[funkypepper]

I just want them to fix Finder. I am sick and tired of finding my windows on different locations after each reboot.

I've always said this about macOS... we don't need a whole new OS every year that is really a bunch of app level changes.

Same thing with iOS and ipad os tbf

Android and windows proves it wrong

I think that if apple tries something so sneaky they’ll incur in even more scrutiny. This is a battle they can’t win, they should just give up and focus on important things, rather than anti-consumer policies.

You mean PRO-consumer policies like not allowing side-loading? People disagree on this and the vast majority of people not on an apple website like it just the way it is right now. So the majority believe apple is making the correct decision so based on that side-loading is ant-consumer.

Crazy, huh? It's the same type of behavior you'd see from a mob boss enforcing his protection racket, or a drug kingpin protecting his distribution network.

Or someone trying to protect their business from the mob boss that is the EU....

Android and Windows are also incredibly fragmented. I'd rather them keep it tight and uncomplicated.

I wonder who has my best interests at heart… one profit driven company I repeatedly pay money to, or one I pay via proxy and redistribute money to its members, in essence, not for profit?

As someone situated in Europe, I hope that Apple recognise that some users do not want the ‘sideload’ functionality despite it being legislated for, and give such users a way to keep iOS/iPadOS as secure as the counterpart versions offered across the rest of the planet.

Even if disabled by default, I’m concerned that the presence of the ability alone to activate ‘sideloading’ capabilities could represent a vulnerability.

I’m sure Apple will explain what they did to prevent or at least try to prevent nefarious software from using the feature to gain access to user’s iPhones if they use the feature or not.

I agree. Why do we need an OS update in order to have improvements in the Wallet, iTunes or any other app for that matter. Almost the opposite of agile.

Gurman covering all of his bases so he can claim he was right even though he just literally threw **** at the wall and sees what sticks.

fair enough. there are pros and cons for both

 

[Agent007]

FindMy rules. I keep losing AirPods because they blend in with so many household objects like carpet, sheets, etc. Gotta say they're doing a great job of keeping me enslaved to the "Apple EcoSystem" for better or worse. I certainly don't envy Android users.

 

[slammer0]

Please, Apple, focus on what is your product - operating system and hardware.

People want system that is stable, secure, easy to maintain and open for apps.

We don’t want lock-in, trendy features or new apps. Make sure that essential components are rock solid, impenetrable and apps created 10 years ago still work so we don’t need to pay for updates. Make creation of new apps easy so it makes space for creativity and innovation.

We already pay ******** of money for this ecosystem, we don’t need another half-assed reminders or drawing app. If you want to create apps put them paid on the App Store and check if anybody needs them.

Oh, and make Safari on par with Chrome or add new APIs so 3rd party browsers can do everything that Safari can.

There is one piece of wallet integration I really would like, showing the transactions in there consistently across all devices regardless of wether or not I use Apple pay. Similar to Apple Card and Amex cards.

 

[lovehateapple]

Please let multiple people share airTags for tracking community property, like pets, for example!!

 

[bLackjackj]

Wallet improvements? Oh my,..is this what a trillion dollars buys you these days 🙄🤦‍♂️

 

[Mr. Dee]

2032 ?

Too soon.

I KNEW IT! MacOS 14 Minor update.

Bug Fix the Windows Vista!

Sideloading, a Europe only feature, would be outrageous.

Make sense. Good test without giving up keys to the store.

By Europe I hope he meant the continent and not EU-only.

EU only makes sense since it’s their regulation.

I will be very surprised if Europe would allow apple to steal a set percentage of developers income even if they don’t publish on the apple App Store.

Steal? It’s Apple’s IP and they can license it however they want. Even EPIC, the brave fighter for the little developer, has licenses that take a cut of revenue.

Apple could even start charging for downloads for free apps with IAP using third party payers.

 

[BipedalOS]

Apple has hundreds of not thousands of software devs. The fact they can’t “refine” **** good enough by X.5 is astounding.

 

[BipedalOS]

I am not a fan of the way Apple waits to update ** APPS ** with major iOS iterations.

It’s because most consumer software works that way. Consumers want big-bang features.

Whereas corporate software will be on version 1.X for years before 2.0 is released.

One enterprise I worked we were version 2.471.xxxx. We would release updates about every 2 weeks.

One of the changes even involved requiring a newer version of MS SQL.

macOS is simply a stable platform, there's nothing new and exciting to be done in that space. Remember last time they tried with *checks notes* Stage Manager?

They definitely need to pour some resources into Apple Music (the mac app) however.
