iOS 18 Rumored to 'Overhaul' Notes, Mail, Photos, and Fitness Apps

I hope the Mail overhaul includes them using the Gmail API instead of IMAP for Gmail.
I agree apps like Mail, Maps, Notes, etc. should get weekly fixes and updates through out the year.
I have a suspicion it might be to prevent people from reading lines of code and seeing potential updates coming in the future iterations of software.
How do you even "overhaul" Mail? We're talking about an app that's stayed largely the same since the early days of iOS, and the only really noteworthy change was when it got a visual update moving from iOS 6 to iOS 7 over a decade ago.
I really hope they don't turn it into a buggy, bloated, over-engineered mess... I already have Outlook on my iPhone for that. 🙃

First off I agree with you, but I doubt it will ever happen considering that most of the new features for the annual OS updates are from the standalone apps. Which is a shame because all of Apple's major OS's could stand a good sprucing up/optimization/bug fix update a la Snow Leopard.
In another matter regarding Apple Maps, could Apple, please, sort out the orientation at the start of the journey, especially when you’re driving. It doesn’t know the front from behind and only when you start driving often when it’s already too late, will it find its orientation.
He would think that $1 trillion company could do better.

They should fix scrolling in the Notes app instead (on both iOS and macOS). It’s just terrible in longer notes.
Mine struggles as well, what would you like to see new in the app though?
A calculator (with a tape!) as a top OS feature will finish the joke with a solid punchline.
And the thing where if you multi-select messages and flag them as gray that it’ll flag them as orange. How this one has stuck around for so long is mind boggling. (Edit: My bad; this is just on Desktop Mail.)
Some improvements on Notes would be great. Don't make it another OneNotes, keep it structured, maybe propose more dimensions (tabs ?).
Mathematician here.
Some of us have bits of screwed up paper all over the carpet.
Some of us even use Goodnotes.
Some of us use LaTeX.
Some sickos use Word.
NONE of us use Notes for mathematics and probably never will even if they improve it.

When will they just call it iOS.... just iOS (2024, 2025)
Because its just sounding stupid at this point.
Some nice new features... but if someone buys a tablet.. they will likely spend more time watching YouTube and streaming video than using AI on the device.
Only if the iPads gain a Samsung DEX like environment would it be a game changer. Improving battery life instead of making it thinner...

Just the ability to send all the originals (without the database around it) to an external backup without crashing would be a nice start.
Yet still no redesign for the awful calendar app.
Those who really want to mess up use Excel.
(And kinda terrifying how much of the world relies on it.)
Great. So not one of the biggest update in iOS history like Gurman had made up previously.
Gurman the chancer strikes again.
Instead we’re getting maths in notes, calculator in iPad and you can place icons in any space which Android has had for 15+ years.
Innovation.
And they wonder why they’re failing in china.

Why doesn't Apple just focus on making things "Just Work" like they're supposed to these days?
Everything is flashy and new, until after a few weeks of use you begin to realize the shininess is riddled with bugs and broken features that Apple then (hopefully) releases patch-work updates to fix.
Good ol' Timmy, focusing on profit and pure sales instead of quality and reliability.

what we need is calendar update so we can see what we have on the month view not just dots
I have recently started to be more intentional and organized about my photos library.
I made a few folders within iCloud Drive / Files for memes and funny screenshots so that they’re separate from what I really want in my photo library.
9to5mac says design changes but not as dramatic than iOS 17, well iOS 17 had like nothing so now im losing hope, we need a whole revamp, I hate the calander app where it shows dots on monthly view
THANK YOU! Been saying this for years.
They do it on purpose to incentivize users to update for ACTUAL productivity features, not just “new emojis” and “customize your Lock Screen”
