I just want to see a better window management. It has been painful!

Switching between multiple windows of the same app it's hell!
CMD+SHIFT+´??? Why can't I just choose to use CMD+TAB, or something like that!
 
What, no "Griffith Park" theme name? Anyway, I'd like to see the restoration of Apple Mail's ability to remember folders where I save emails so that I don't have to click on a menu and scroll to find it. And then close the email. Also: I'd like the restoration of Apple Mail's opening the message window in front of the current windows when I share something, not in back.
These are things Apple Mail used to do. But no more. I've reported these bugs; no action.
Oh, and how about an upgrade to Image Capture? Is it too much to ask that the window open at the previous size?
 
"Mac iOS".

You knew it was coming.

"Simplified navigation system..."
Will there still be a "finder"?
Considering many at Apple use Path Finder, I don't think they would dumb it down that much or at least the hooks will still be there for apps like Path Finder.

The best would be like DVD Studio Pro was, UI wise. Simple, Intermediate, and Expert modes.
 
They need to make an option, even if only dark mode option, to have the menu bar background be black. The notch with a dark gray background is stupid when you could make the notch disappear with a black menu bar.
 
MR asks "What do I want see in MacOS 16?" I want to see. Tim Cook says that "accessibility is part of Apple's DNA." But Tim needs to step up his game.

Apple, Apple's website, Apple's tech documents, Apple everywhere is replete with tiny fonts, light gray fonts and light blue fonts, all of which make it more difficult for any person with vision impairment to see. And not everyone's vision impairments are readily correctable with lenses.

Please please Tim, give the huge numbers of vision impaired folks (including yourself) a global switch to turn off the damn light gray and blue fonts and provide black fonts.

?? Command-Tilde key does just what you ask.
 
A change of this magnitude would be announced well ahead of time. No way Apple is going to cut Intel machines cold turkey with no notice. There are too many Intel machines still out in the wild. This isn't the PowerPC days.

High Sierra 10.13.4 started warning that 32-bit applications would no longer be supported in future versions of MacOS, and Mojave 10.14 still supported 32-bit apps.

People that are not Apple enthusiasts do not upgrade their machines every year. Lots of people don't know or care what OS they have because most of what they do is done in the browser. The oldest Intel machine is only 5 years old. Until more Intel machines are retired, the lack of an Intel OS will create large OS fragmentation, with Intel machines on Sequoia and Silicon machines on 16+.

iOS 15 is old but just got a security about a month ago, and the majority of apps are still written for iOS 15 baseline requirement. Only the nichest of apps require iOS 16+. For apps that no longer get updates on iOS 15, the "last compatible version" from the App Store works fine. And yes, there are still apps in the App Store that only require a minimum of iOS 12 (Roblox), iOS 13 (Zoom), iOS 14 (Snapchat). To a lesser degree, I see apps that only require iOS 9, like VLC Media Player.

Windows 10 remains the #1 Windows OS, because Microsoft was too aggressive and dropped support for machines that were little over 4 years old when Windows 11 was released.

Shift inverts the direction, just do CMD+` or TAB for forward rotation.

Nop, it does not rotate around windows of the same application. Still it would be better to choose what CMD+TAB could do. Windows/Linux management system continues to be ahead to Mac, don't know about next release if they had change anything around windows management.

I am complaining more about the use of the ` more than SHIFT. Would prefer to have a different behaviour for the CMD+TAB.
IMO we can have a better windows management system. Other OS have it for decades, but sometimes Apple is just ignoring, like the Calculator APP for the iPad... That took a lot to show up.
