RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.

Why does this sub exist? To shit on Apple? Literally all the comments are neckbeards complaining about this or that. Wtf?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Because it keeps showing up on /all and the apple haters just can’t help themselves. People enjoying things drives them insane.

None, still waiting for third party stores.

Auto sorting in Mail, to be honest.

Apple recreating Google Inbox would be an ultimate power move.

Apple Intelligence. The image generation and bullshit text generator aspects I’m over (although Genmoji looks cute), but the ability to process complex natural language requests using an on-device LLM so I can perform tasks via voice without laborious specificity?

I’m in. If they nail this it will be the biggest leap forward in human-computer interaction since the GUI.

The other features I already like in DB1 aren’t on this feature slide either:

  • The new Calendar app with a proper multi-day view is great and has already replaced the “list” view I’ve used since 2009. I like “list” but it makes every day look busy visually, and makes it difficult to see gaps in your day.
  • New Calculator app finally has most features people would like. Multi line, easy editing of mistakes, a history, etc. They only talked about the handwritten stuff for iPad in the keynote but the whole thing is vastly improved across all iOS platforms.
  • This one is on the slide but the new Photos app is great, although some don’t like it I found most features in Photos were buried and people never used the tabs in the app, just scrolling down to see everything actually works quite well. Most users seem to think that the first tab is the only one you need to use and everything else is just settings and whatnot so it’s best to just adapt to that at this point.

RCS, Better Home Screen and Control Center customization, finally getting locked and hidden apps on iOS as Android has had those for years! The Photos update is pretty good, in addition to Lock Screen customization.

No mention of the calculator app on iPadOS smh

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because this is the ios screen and there is a seperate one for iPadOS? Or am I missing the joke?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I took it as a funny

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Locked apps! All the porn, and all the incriminating evidence of my affair. Thank u Tim Apple! Very cool.

I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

iOS devices would be actually good if they literally just let you install .ipa s from anywhere (.apk equivelent for iOS). Not even unlocking the APIs that ensure Apple apps stay on top, just allowing .ipa installation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

What IPAs do you want to install? This is a real question, I know there are a handful of apps that you need to install from outside the App Store but over the years as restrictions have loosened that has dropped to almost nothing for me.

I used to install nzbUnity which has been fully replaced by LunaSea at this point, and with the rule change allowing emulators they really took a ton of wind out of the sails of the 3rd party App Store push.

IDK there aren't that many because iOS doesn't allow it.

Does anyone else have this problem: Some messages only showing up for iPhone users in the group SMS chat? For example someone will answer a question that the Android users never see. Then those questions randomly show up a week later for Android users? Hopefully RCS will fix that.

The one that’s not shown: Standalone Passwords app

The satellite thing will save lives

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Great feature. Will note they did have emergency satellite messages before, iPhone 14/15.

Hmm in most countries:

Satellite connectivity isn't offered on iPhone models purchased in Armenia, Belarus, China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

Apparently no paid agreements to use satellite around those regions.

Honestly, I just hope Siri transcription for iMessage gets better, and that the music app will actually do a decent job of recognizing the artist/album/thing I want to listen to.

Definitely Emoji Tapbacks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

RCS, Statelite and Locked Apps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Control screen customization I guess? Maybe the hiking thing? (But like there are already decent 3rd party apps for that…)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not listed, but Music Haptics. I’m joking, but it’s a thing now. Super glitchy to activate in beta 1.
