iOS 11 expectations !

I want a design overhaul. Material design makes iOS feel too antiquated.
I expect a night mode, split-screen multi-tasking, group FaceTime Audio and Video Chat, an upgraded Siri Assistant or Siri becoming intuitive, the rest might be up in the air because iOS 11 is the precursor to the next iPhone.

I would personally like to see a tidy up of the OS and apps. e.g. merge facetime into the phone and messages app, it doesn't need a separate app.
group facetime audio and video calls
Redesign on control centre. more customisable.
Siri big update. More natural conversation. ability to have a continuous conversation. e.g. ask 1 question and then ask a follow up etc. Ability to use text instead of voice with Siri. Update the widgets page to be the Siri section, recommendations on travel time, news etc. Need to link more services to Siri, transit being one
More API access to notifications and notification centre. E.g. somebody leaves you a facebook comment, ability to see the comment and 'like' from the notification centre
I would actually be quite interested in a 'Work Mode'. Between XX:XX and XX:XX hours, I want to see these groups of apps and email accounts forefront, but outside of those hours I want a different set of apps, wallpaper etc.
Dark mode
Put camera options back in to the camera app and not in settings
Offline maps in Apple maps
build find my friends into the OS. I don't need a separate app, just go to that contact and see their location (if approved of course)

In the Messages app, go onto a thread where the contact has already accepted your location request invitation in Find My Friends. Then, press the 'i' button in the top-right. You'll see it retrieve their current location away from the FMF app.
interesting. Does that still work with the find my friends app deleted? Strange that its in messages and not contacts/phone though, but guess its half the way there
You'd have to try, I wouldn't be willing to since my family use it in case of emergencies but I imagine it wouldn't work - it has to be getting that location data from the FMF app.
It is strange it's not in Contacts, but I'm not too fussed about using the dedicated app.
The "Work" Mode used to be my favourite feature of Nokia Symbian OS devices! You could select "work" or "personal" and your Nokia smartphone's home screen would change icons, wallpapers, ringing mode etc accordingly! All at the press of a couple of buttons! Loved it
The people finder in Messages appears to be simply an embedded instance of Find My Friends. If you tap on the map, it will open the full app.
Hi i have a question for you guys. The last time we had a interface refresh for ios was ios 7 and since then nothing much has changed with other iOS updates. So do you guys think ios 11 will have a redesigned interface this year. Please respond back i would appreciate it. Thanks
In reality: We're just going to be getting more Emoji and iMessage effects.
Did they? I don't have the latest Windows 10 version but I haven't heard about any significant changes to its design language.
Microsoft are actually copying macOS in their new Fluent design, with frosted transparency and depth effects throughout - no skeuomorphism thankfully.

We should get some form of redesign, or at least I hope so anyway.
iOS1 - iOS3 same design
iOS4 design change - iOS6
iOS7 design change - iOS10
So looking at that, we are overdue a design change if the trend remains the same.
That's not entirely true.. iOS 6 is still the same as iOS4.. just look at the picture.
- iOS 4
- iOS 6
The BIG change came with iOS 7. and is still present in iOS 10 today. Will they tweak some icons, CC, NC, widgets, etc maybe and probably but not a system wide overhall.
Siri that works.
Apple Maps that works.
Apple Maps StreetView.
Night mode.
Faster Safari scrolling (on the way!)
Fix to the blank page Safari bug!
Google Photos iMessage compatibility.
Split-screen CarPlay.
FaceTime Picture-in-picture.
10GB Free iCloud backup (so old people can stop bothering me).
iMessage payment system.
That sums it up for me.

Oh god i know exactly what you mean!
"I bought a 128 GB iPhone. Why is it full already!"
"This annoying pop up wont go away even tho i have 100 GB free!"
"I cleaned out my iPhone but it keeps saying it is full when it is not!"
"I am not gonna spent 99 cent on storage" ... even tho "i" just bought my daughter and wife a brand new BMW. Each!
While that's true I don't think you could say that iOS 6 and 7 look similar heck even feel similar.
An image on Twitter (likely fake)
Imagine if they did this and all icons became 'alive' within a semi-transparent rounded rectangle (allowed to leave the boundaries by a small amount). Would be a massive change.
Also if tilting the phone moved or altered the light on the icons, that would be crazy cool.
I really am expecting no UI changes for iOS 11 (including no dark mode) so as not to be disappointed.

iOS7 is the design change. Read my post again
