I call that smart thinking. Keep the operating system to a minimum and rely on third party developers to expand the functionality of IOS. @LeadingHeat already debunked your original post.

This is the first year that I'm not really looking forward to any of the iOS changes/features - the only thing that was of interest were the changes to the weather app.
The iPadOS updates had some useful changes but it still seems like Apple is holding back on the OS.

1. Android had focus 3 years ago 😂
2. You can't even look at images in apple maps without downloading yelp 😂
3. try to scan a random loyalty card and get back to me chief
4. iOS does not have the ability to show you flight info in the Home Screen like in At a Glance
That is true. That isn't going to stop people on here from complaining about not having more features, even though the phone can already so much.
😂 Why would I want 1000 apps on my phone just to do a simple task
Do me a favor, open apple maps search for something and then look at photos of that business. You literally have to download yelp to do it 😂
Yes. No. In that order. Didn't mentioned what a mess Siri is.
Not even a Camry and Accord look similar these days. I'm not saying iPad OS 15 is worse than 14, but many of us expected much more from 15 than what we got. Not to say what we did get was bad. Better looking maps is always welcome, but let's get real, many of us have wanted way-points in Apple Maps since day 1.
The correct question would be, Apple why haven't you made a simple calculator app?
Apple paying us to figure this all out for them?
You use iCatcher too? I love it, expect for when Siri asks me which app to use every time I ask her to play some music.
Unreal the battle I had with Siri yesterday asking her to play some rock'n roll on the way to my sister's house. The wife finally had to take the phone and manually start a rock'n roll station.
Well Apple does do a pretty good job of hyping it every year. Maybe you should tell them to stop the advertising?
Don't even know where to start with that one...
Also why can’t we have an EQ setting……music has one and it could be argued that music is recorded in a studio with better quality control, so surely as the quality of podcasts can vary quite a lot then this would be a very useful feature.
I for one would WELCOME a year or two without a new iOS and "innovation" and instead a stable platform that... just worked.

Hrmm, I was rather excited for the release of iOS 15. I thought the additions and changes were compelling. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe productivity took a big hit with CV19 and CA being shut down so long. Lots of things might bounce back slowly all over the world due to the shut downs. A small update is hardly anything compared to the thousand who lost their businesses so I think I can tolerate a boring iOS update.
If we're going to have yearly iOS updates, I'd very much prefer for there to be years where there's refinement and stability versus having a host of new things that may or may not work as intended. We've seen some pretty horrendous bugs in the past few versions.
I'd rather be underwhelmed with new bells and whistles if it means being overwhelmed by Snow-Leopard-levels of stability and lack of bugs.
Apple's software has been mediocre at best for a few year now, same with HW. Seems the only major innovations coming from Apple is the fact they change the size of their hw and up their prices and people keep buying Apple products. Can't say I blame Apple...they're making money and if it ain't broke, why fix it? IMO, they are opening the door though for a competitor to take market share (we all know it won't be MS, 🤣). If someone comes out with winning combination of software/hardware, apple could see a strong competitor to the iphone/ipad/etc.
LOL, they haven’t even released anything yet. No consumers are using it, when they do we will find out how successful the next updates are. Especially on the new devices being released.
Why? Microsoft has Surface, Google has Chromebook. What is so hard for desktop mode with keyboard and mouse? Heck, what is the point for magic keyboard?
Or could it be they see Android and be like damn they had those features for years 😂
IpadOS was extra disappointing. They come out with the M1 chip and all that ram and then push out that meh of an update? lol, the pro model is no longer worth the extra $$ since apple refuses to give it actual "pro" features.
the main problem with android is google always listening. And if you don't have a phone with the latest update
you got a problem.
I must admit that I am finding the look of iOS very stale now, considering it's appearance is pretty much the same since iOS 7.
I think that Apple should have designed a new look for iOS back in 2017 (for when the iPhone was 10 years old) and I must admit to been surprised they didn't at the time.
I must admit to been underwhelmed with iOS 15, despite the 500+ changes announced by Apple.

A 1000 apps can do 1000 tasks better than what is built in to the operating system?

I didn’t even know this was possible. I used focus for work the other day and thought “it would be cool to have a separate page for work, but I don’t want it to mess with the rest of my layout”. Problem solved!
Why should we care what a cickbait YouTube revenuer thinks? Max tech can go pound sand.
I think ios15/ipados was pretty good out of the gate. We'll see what comes down the line further in the development cycle.
