iOS 16 Speculation Thread

[LFC2020]

Quite sad to think about. It’d be amazing if Apple could include all the wallpapers dating back to the original iPhone in upgraded, device-appropriate resolutions and perhaps some even with their own respective dark mode versions.

The good old days. 😃

You know we aren’t getting any of these features? 😆

I hope they give us an email client back end which has some concept of being actually in sync in all devices at the same time rather than 10 seconds after you open the mail app.

I'd be not surprised if the A9 processor phones and tablets get another year of updates. Or if Apple kills off the support for A9 powered devices. But it could go either way.

1. Less white colour across iOS, more balanced UI colours.

From this

to something like this

2. Music App with full screen album covers:

Ability to edit icons in the tab bar:

And cover flow or similar landscape mode

3. Fix second call screen.

From this

into something like this:

If I remember correctly, this never used to be an issue. Maybe the last 6-7 years. Before that, I could read an email on my iPhone and notice the unread badge disappear on my iOS with out opening the mail app on the iPad and vice-versa.

So much for everything staying in sync automatically. Having to manually open the mail app isn’t automatic/it just works

Unfortunately it has always been like this as far back as I remember. The issue is it uses IMAP behind the scenes which requires a persistent connection to get notifications. They would have to replace the entire IMAP system with something else.

The Mail app is in dire dire dire need of a refresh.

It’s also shocking that scheduling texts isn’t an option on iOS yet either

IMAP, yes, but I could have sworn iCloud mail behaved differently.

I get that, but I feel the people doing it early just wanna have there name on it for a year, but i feel it’s annoying seeing both 15 and 16 we are like 3 months away maybe a month before is good but it’s done now congrats

You made a speculation first, then complained about this being to early in a second post… huh?!?

I don’t think Mozman created this to get his name on a forum for a year ?. You sound a bit gutted to be honest, better luck next year ?

Dark Mode Icons

The ability to choose which holidays you want to see in Calendars would be awesome!

Would prefer to not see Columbus Day, Groundhog Day etc. ?

Dock UI for IPhone and iPad to match MacOS, so your always looking at a unified global style dock across all devices.

* Better/Live widgets

Yeah, I've gotta say, as a developer, widgets are really limited in iOS 15.
Of course all those limitations are in place to save battery life, but still.

Prefer macrumors hamburgers.

 

[PsykX]

All I really want is more more more SwiftUI capabilities ?

(And a lot more stability, we need that badly...)

That’s clearly a character that it can’t display correctly, not a hamburger menu

I’d like to see a more powerful iPadOS.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

I hope for some UI changes, as the UI has become boring now, after 9-10 years.

What does “boring” mean to you? Do you believe a good OS UI should not be “boring”? What would have to change?

Give us an example of a UI that you feel is not “boring” so we have some context.

• Bring back Control Center of iOS 7 to iOS 10
• Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on Control Center and not just temporarily disconnect
• Bring back at least the default wallpapers from previous iOS versions if they cannot restore all of them
• Bring back the iOS 6 look and feel... We have the flat design for almost 9 years now and it's about time to go back or at least another visual change...
• Battery Health for iPod touch and iPad
• Allow users to switch between icons on home screen and widgets on separate screen or icons and widgets on home screen combined...
• Fix the bug[?]/feature[?] that once a page is full of icons the icon of the newly downloaded app gets placed to the very first page [which was never the behavior in prior iOS versions and I only seem to notice it on iOS 15.x]
• Video FPS or photo resolution options within the iOS camera app and not through Settings
• AirDrop support for Windows and Linux
• Split Screen for Plus/Max models similar to Galaxy Note in previous years
• First party calculator app for iPad
• File browser that can access both Photo and Video Library and other files saved by apps
• Bring Apple Music as close to Spotify in terms of features and usability as possible

Bring back Control Center of iOS 7 to iOS 10

Now we’re talking. ?

 

[LFC2020]

What does “boring” mean to you?

We’ve had the same home screen since iOS 8.

Time to spice things up a little bit.

New icons, theme store, dark mode icons, new system font, bring back all of the previous apple wallpapers.

REMOVE THAT HIDEOUS HOME BAR!!!
