What is with all the iOS hate here

Many of those are legitimate gripes… probably by people that don't hate iOS.

 

What I really hate is all the threads about why people hate stuff.

It's a forum - get over it!

 

Welcome to the Internet, where everyone is right.

 

I like iOs since it just works and my original iPad functions like the day I got it, I love iOs

 

Why do you label it "Hate"?

How about "constructive criticism" where backed up by reason? Or some other appropriate label?

Maybe not in this case - but often Apple fan's take any sort of criticism as a personal attack.

The items you listed are valid BTW. If you've been used to them on other smartphone os's then why not want them on iOS too, quite possibly?

 

I think there are very few people who hate iOS here, but wish it have the features they want. Many of them being the more 'open' sort of features that we can assume that if they're not in iOS by now, they're never going to be in (filesystem/multitasking/themes/Siri for all iOS 5 devices).

 

This.

It isn't hate to want new features which would increase the utility of the product.

 

iOS, as an operating system, is sorta simple and boring and lame. That's my gripe with it.

 

Why? Because this forum is where fanatics hang out. The millions of typical customers could care less about what people here complain about.

 

I hate all the posts complaining about the threads about why people hate stuff.


Just jailbreak....no issues with iOS.

 

The iOS is the reason I don't own an iPhone.

 

The reasons I don't have an iPhone are that it's too big and heavy, and also it costs too damn much per month.

 

They are pretty self explanatory if you ask me. Some (but not all) users would like to see iOS have the filesystem available to the user, real multitasking, to be able to theme or change the look of the GUI and have Siri on iOS5 capable devices (not just the 4S), without Jailbreaking.

What is so hard to understand about that? Because there isn't much to elaborate on.

 

I like to tell everyone that they are entitled to their own wrong opinion.

 

I think most people just want to be able to share files between apps. So for example you could create a document in pages, then upload it through Safari. Or you could download/transfer a PDF and view it in any app you like.

 

This is my problem. It's hardly ever confusing to use as a benefit (which I suppose is why people like it) but there's no innovation. It's all dumbed down as much as possible, I feel so limited with what I can do with it. And that's something I think a lot of people would agree with. Yes, less bells and whistles means nothing will likely have a problem, but the user experience suffers because of it.

 

So you telling us you are cheap.

 

Well, you can only view one app at a time full screened on the iPad. Not exactly great multitasking is it? iCloud with its document sharing is bringing some sort of file system at least.

Well, I was really surprised Apple didn't put Siri on the new iPad.

I don't hate iOS, but doesn't mean I think it's perfect either.

 

Um, how about having a Safari window open with a webpage of information while you type in a Word document?

My point is you can't display more than one application at once in iOS on the iPad.

Maybe you aren't a user who multitasks within applications on the Mac. You sound like you probably just use Word, Safari and iTunes. Those of us who do multitask will often be working with between 2-5 applications at once, and being able to see those applications all at once is very useful for workflow.
