If you are seeing / hearing it every year, it is not Apple saying it. It is tech media trying to pump the click machine.
Lots of people ask their neighbor to manage their life. Some ask anyone else to manage their life as long as it isn't themselves.
Perhaps the vast majority of iPhone users are not in the "we" category. The average iPhone user doesn't know one tenth of what those who inhabit tech sites do and they don't care.
I like your comment, but strongly disagree on the anything less will be a disappointment part. It seems a little dramatic to me.
Are you a new visitor to MacRumors? Cynicism is the primary response no matter what the sub topic is if it falls under the heading of "Apple."
Springboard is the new finder, we’ll gripe about it for decades and itll still have irritating quirks that you just get used to over time
I think people are overreacting a little bit to the AI stuff. When you swipe down spotlight and see suggested apps, or get a suggested calendar event to add based on an email, or turn your car on and get a pop up with directions where it guesses you're going, you know what that stuff is based on? AI. Apple's just going to try to make it more advanced. And I'm sure they'll have privacy in mind.
Apple has gotten so bad at UI design can we just make all new UI and AI optional.
Even better Apple, fix the current bugs before adding new bugs (errrr, I mean features.)

It will be the final end of Apple innovation. I can here Cook now, "If Gurman is talking about it, maybe we should look at it?"
I know this is a BIG ask. Can we finally re arrange icons the way we want to?
If Hair Force One simply showed putting an icon on the screen where you want it, and instead of automatically jumping to the hardest part of the screen to reach it simply stayed where it was put, dropped the mic and flew out like Prince's guitar, it would be the best WWDC ever.
Id be fine with being able to resize the App icons, putting them FINALLY anywhere on the screen and deactivating the useless App Library.
Oh and get rid of that ugly shadow on app labels again. Literally does not allow me to use any light wallpaper because it’s so ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb

And look where it got us?
Even my ex wife who was blind as a bat can tell that's a bloody horse.
I hope they add more Emoji's on iOS 18.
How about fixing the lock screen, and disabling long press to edit.
Half the time I open my phone it’s in that more.

I like hearing that they’re doing something other than generative AI. I’ve gotten heavily downvoted for saying this on Reddit, but I don’t get the utility of Chat GPT. Sure, it “talks” better than Siri does, but what use is it if you ask it a question and it gives you an outdated or incorrect answer? I’ve seen so many examples of LLMs giving an incorrect answer, being told it’s incorrect, and replying “you’re right, it’s actually [this other incorrect thing].”
I welcome improvements on things I actually find useful like Siri suggestions and natural language input for reminders and calendars and whatnot.

Good design is timeless. The iOS 7-style design was hideous and awful even when it was introduced. Long live iOS 6.
If you go back and look at iOS 7 you will see that the UI has evolved a lot since then. I don't want to go back to stitched leather and brushed metal. Some more pushable buttons would be nice though.
Again? Hasn't every iOS since 2.0 been the biggest believed update?
Siri's original promise. Still waiting.
You realize the last time they did this in iOS 7, it took like three iOS releases for it to become fully stable again, right?
Please, no UI refresh. Small incremental changes like we've been having is fine.
