If Apple wants to elevate everyone's mood then get rid of Yelp on Apple Maps, everyone will be delighted and no need for a journal.
That would require a form of data collection and tracking. Kryptonite to anything Apple.
Isn't this the truth! It is an absolute sh*t show. Seriously, from a company that prides it self on making something easy to us, they sure missed this one.
The journaling app is most likely best on M2 12.9" iPad Pro with a hovering Apple Pencil. I am good-to-go. Bring it. 👣
The mood app can tell the user to do some journaling. In the journaling app a person can write how annoying the mood app is.

Lots of features on the iPhone have gotten too fiddly. Settings is now a maze that is difficult to navigate with settings in one place that can negate settings in another. It's like playing Myst, where pulling the switch on one side of the island opens a door on the other side.
Journaling? Mood tracking? who the *** uses these? Seems so weird to have first party apps for this.
I just want Markdown support in Notes app ffs.

I understand what you mean, but if you can find out that your mood is crummy when you don't get good sleep or when the barometric pressure is up or down (I don't know which would affect people) or anything like that, I think it's helpful.
I once tried a migraine tracker, but it was difficult because it didn't fully integrate with other things (plus I don't like logging food and drink; that just takes some joy out of living for me!), but something that could tell me at the end of the month, "It looks like you said you weren't in a good mood on days when you got less than 20 minutes of exercise and only 5 and a half hours of sleep" could be really beneficial.
Nope. Just a reminder would do. No need to place the order or anything like that.
Agree with others that the Journaling may come handy. Mood tracking however is pointless because moods are and will always be unpredictable. Which means they happen spontaneously and are not under our control. You cannot know the precise moment when a mood (change) will happen, nor can you know the precise mood that will happen. Tracking them won’t change that. Looking back, you may see a pattern, but that pattern will vary unpredictably.
Tracking moods makes sense as far as it helps you understand that it makes no sense

While I agree about mood tracking app, I honestly feel these are two apps or features that NOBODY in the Apple iOS community asked for.
To be honest having the mood tracking data available via API for 3rd party developer apps or for doctors would be ideal.
It’s posible anyone with BPD or similar disorders could benefit from this but I’m doubtful the use of the journaling app will get heavy use.
So, do we know if BOTH apps can be deleted and the APIs disabled?! This along with ML on chip seems far too close to training models for a Cyberdyne Systems model T101 (aka Terminator). My moods and thoughts are my own to know and my choice to reveal.
Perhaps no one asked for them, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t welcome. I didn’t ask for Focus Modes, but I use them daily. And I doubt seriously Apple adds features like this without focus grouping them first. So its quite likely that a representative group of Apple users actually did ask for these features, at least obliquely.
Just because you don’t find a feature compelling doesn’t mean it won’t be of some use to the other billion or so Apple device users.
I see it this way, the homescreen is like a car, apple can apply a new coat of paint, out a giant wing on the trunk, some stickers, but that doesn’t make you go faster, or make the car “new”. When I think of actual changes I’m talking about structural stuff, the backbone of the homescreen is the same as the original iPhone. Sure you can change the background, the dock background is different, the icons changed, once. But it’s still the same vanilla statusbar that doesn’t give us much information, we are still forced to have all our icons snap up to the upper left corner of the screen, no way around it, and the dock is just a static place that can old 4 icons.
One of the best jailbreak tweaks ever was one that ported the iPad dock to the iPhone, it would be such a simple thing to add but apple will never do something like that. Instead we’ll get more stuff that nobody wants and more clutter in the settings app I’m sure.
Here’s how it looks.

I wonder if they'll tailor other stuff to match our mood... like changing our wallpaper to some storm clouds, or queuing up some happy songs to cheer us all up.
It's hard to see what they're going to do with it otherwise. The health app can tell us lots of information we don't know, like our pulse rate, but what will moods do? We'll tell it we're happy, and it will tell us we're happy. Then we'll tell it we're sad, and it will tell us we're sad. It might just be a log of our moods

Just like how the wheel is still round?
I agree and disagree at the same time. Last year Apple rebuilt the System Preferences in macOS with a new UI, and that turned out amazing with absolutely no problems....I see it this way, the homescreen is like a car, apple can apply a new coat of paint, out a giant wing on the trunk, some stickers, but that doesn’t make you go faster, or make the car “new”.

I am curious as to what can be added to the status-bar for NotchPhones besides the weather that isn't already superseded by Live Activities. There's not a whole lot of space for two corners.
The ability to freely move application icons would be a nice quality of life change, but I am confused as to why it's of such importance to some people. It never struck me as a big deal honestly.
This is true.. I do like Notion.. It just feels clunky at times.. Its weird... It gives you great features and super powerful.. Then it makes it so hard to do the basic stuff at times
Don’t be dense. You know exactly what I mean. And the retort is missing the point. I hope your evolution doesn’t allow you to eat from your ass.
