Just give me the ability to arrange things any way I want, lock apps, MOVE photos from one album to another, delete photos that are imported from Mac and change volume of things independently. Why is that so hard!!?
Got a tip for us?

Users Underwhelmed by iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Survey Suggests
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
People's perception? lol good one. I'm sure you've convinced many now and will end up switching to iPads Pro.
It seems like that is exactly what iOS 15 and Mac OS 12 are. The focus has been on stability and polish. Most reports about the betas say that they are remarkably stable for an early beta release.
This is something that many of us have been asking Apple to do. Focus on 'under the hood performance and bug fixes'. However most of the posts here are complaining that there are not enough big feature changes (which ignoring the feature changes that are coming).
Someone is always going to complain.
I just ordered an iPad Pro. We’ll see what comes down the line.
Apple keeps playing this game and announcing the IPAD as your next computer when they hamper it on purpose as to not to cannibalize their laptop sales. The iPad is capable of being the laptop if they would give it a proper interface / features.
also does the upcoming OS enable or use the memory in the IPAD or still nothing?

I have already paid for the Podcast app. I am not going to buy another one. Fingers crossed they bring Podcasts back to iOS 13 functionality in 15. It's ridiculously slow at the moment.
seems to me that iOS in its current incarnation, has reached to a point where it’s hard to come up with new and revolutionary additions. I would struggle myself to come up with something. What I would like though, is the little annoying things that never seems to get fixed actually fixed.
As for iPadOS it seems crippling for more and more powerful hardware. My hope is that has something up it’s sleeve for iPadOS now that you have an M1 tablet with the same power and internals as a Mac. Can’t see anything being in the way for running macOS if you plug in a mouse, keyboard and external monitor. But that would hurt Apple sales if you could do with only one device and not 2.

It seems like developers are tinkering under the hood to justify their existence, break major components of the OS in the process.
Tell me. What would I, an iPad user, do if whilst i was working I decided I want to use the keyboard and mouse and the interface changed to macos? Where would all my stuff go?
Alternatively, if you ran it via a boot camp type thing, where the iPad operated just as a monitor and no ‘iPadiness’- why on earth wouldn’t you just get a MacBook?
If you ask me, a sidecar inspired macos as an app type option is the way forwards. And yes, requiring a mac.
With so different users on an iPhone, Apple is smart to leave things as they appear. Our older users can't function like younger users whom are always ready for changes. Speaking for me, I don't want to see any front changes because I use it for work - Candy is for the casual user and Apple would be smart to allow an activation for folks who need to see a new look and way of using their device.
I'm always aware of the slew of new features, do I need all of them? Probably not, but at the end of the day they always have one or two useful things to make working more efficient.
Thank you, Apple for leaving things the same, but hope in time you can add a feature for the young at heart and those who just want to see some really cool front facing features through an "activate tab".

This is understandable for those who can afford to upgrade their phones every year. It's like being able to vacation at Disney World every year as opposed to going every 3-5.
I for one am on an quickly aging iPhone 6+ running iOS 12...so iOS 15 on an iPhone 13 is gonna be sweet.

3 and 4 are in the wallet app? Specifically 4 does that too...unless you mean the baked in wallet app is too much to use.
I will point out that 1/2 are very niche use cases, and a phone profile for kids is a whole other topic.
Damn people are spoiled.
I'm thrilled about three main things:
I'm thrilled about three main things:
- Live Text
- On-device Siri voice processing (although, wasn't this already supposed to be a thing?)
- Photo metadata
2 of which require an iPhone 11 or 12 (maybe XS too?) So a large proportion of us won’t be getting it.
Doesn’t even need to be full macOS, just something that’s not a bloated iPhone OS. Some sort of hybrid that runs macOS apps and has a desktop. The familiar app pages of iPadOS can be the app switcher.
What is a total flop is MR suggesting that we should give any credence to the survey from other strangers, who have zero say in what we (individually) like, buy or use.
The survey is only meaningful if one adheres to the herd mentality.
I will come back to your comment when Apple adds them in 4 years.
I had the same conversation 3 years ago about Google lens and focus mode on Android, an Apple user said it was a gimmick, and now that apple did it its revolutionary
The old anecdotal, "I had this conversation years ago and an Apple fan said it was a gimmick, but since Apple implemented this feature, the feature is now as great as sliced bread."
Step 1. Search any business you want
Step 2. Select any photo (not look around)
Step 3. Tell me what happened when you clicked on a photo
For those that are to lazy to try, what happens is you need to download yelp to view (screenshots attached 2021)

I’m not enthused about ios15 but I’m sure my itchy trigger finger isn’t going to stop me from tapping the install button i in the fastest method possible.
I could see this is you have well defined focus events and a lot of apps. For others I really struggle to see the need for focus. Good idea just not very well implemented. Kind of like widgets.
JMHO YOMV
and just where is that? Heading ...
Based on what I am seeing, I am not sure if they (Apple) even know.
