I have always disliked the iOS 7/8 design which Apple is continuing into iOS 9. When do you think we will see a refresh again?
What do you mean by that? Differences between Yosemite and El Capitan?I don't think we will see anything MAJOR anytime soon but I really am hoping for a Yosemite/Capitan-esque refresh. More dropshadows, more slight round-ness, etc. Oh, and Dark Mode please! I thought we would see it with iOS 9 but apparently not.
It always goes in circles...Even if it was, I guarantee you it won't look anything like pre-7 iOS. That era of UI design is over.
In that case we will get puke green and woodgrain eventually.It always goes in circles...

I hope it will be called iOS X
That would become ambiguous
I'm actually expecting things to change with iOS 11.
My reasoning behind this is because we've had Mac OS X for so long now that it's far from following any Semantic Versioning. I have a feeling that Apple are waiting for iOS to catch up to Mac OS and then we'll see a mass crossover where all OS's (excluding watch OS) sync up into one.
This may even see an iOS device that can plug into a screen meaning we don't have to buy a Mac and iPad and iPhone. It could just be one device, very much like Ubuntu Mobile.
This is my dream and prediction anyway!

If you think they're 2 iterations away from merging a seven year old, lightweight mobile OS, with what is referred to as "the most advanced OS in the world", that has over 30 years of code/history, and that magically all the input issues (mouse/keyboard combo vs. touch/tilt) will be solved by then...... ummmmmm, I'll have what you're smoking please! =P
Seriously. Just no. You have NOT thought it through in the slightest, beyond your personal desire to not buy multiple devices for multiple purposes. iOS and OS X will be seperate products (& rightly so!) for many, many, many years to come! Speaking as to your dream/prediction: the best you could realistically hope for in the next five years or so, is a "convertible OS" device. Say.... a fancy implementation of Fusion Drive in a MacBook, where the HDD is on the notebook & the flash memory is in the screen.... which is removable, & when removed, becomes a tablet, running iOS. Running the same OS is not probable, logical, or even feasible.
Aren't you guys getting this? iOS X!
?? There's already dark mode in iOS.I don't think we will see anything MAJOR anytime soon but I really am hoping for a Yosemite/Capitan-esque refresh. More dropshadows, more slight round-ness, etc. Oh, and Dark Mode please! I thought we would see it with iOS 9 but apparently not.
