Turning off pixels has nothing to do with processing power, thats just how OLED screens work...
Yeeeeaaah it was a sarcastic joke to show something Apple would try to pull in order to sell the newer model. Sorry that one went over your head
If all of your friends jumped off a bridge would you do it too?
Dude really? Jumping off a bridge is the same as using the same phone as a couple friends that I frequently send videos and pictures to? Next time think before you post. In life people use things that are convenient.
This has to be the oddest list of potential iOS hang-ups I've ever seen.
- What if Apple’s 2019 iOS didn’t support a device from 2014? Are there any smartphone manufacturers whose flagship OS runs/supports 5-year-old devices? (Genuine question.)
- And how is the iOS going to increase iPhone prices?
- Is the volume HUD a big deal to you?

I understand that, but it's about choice, there should be an option to have it unlocked to the homescreen if you want that kind of behavior.... Give us the choice, we paid enough for it... so is it not to much asked ?
I went from Samsung S9+ to XS Max some time I ago, have always used Samsung but had an iPhone 6S for 1 year.
I really miss the Dark Mode!
And a little more tweaking of the home screen would be nice
iOS needs dark mode and they need some better picture sorting options in the Photos app!
Semi transparent notification and themes would take it to another level!

I think notifications need to be more condensed. As it is now, everything is too separated and big. You should also be able to remove them with a simple swipe.
I think switching away from iOS would be for me, a bit drastic if it doesn't have a feature i like...
Consolidate "Personal Hot Spot" as well.. Its in two places... Settings, and under Mobile. (or Cellular, which region you selected.. Still trying to get used to that)
When you have search,, (in three places) its becomes less of a reason to have more options of the same item, as if you don't wanna drill down, just search ...
The problem is ,, Apple's got search for Notification Center (swipe right from Home screen), They have it when you swipe down anywhere, and hey have in in search
Why can't just 1 place have it all? Use the most convenient, so a swipe down home screen and you can search *anything* settings included. and it you should also be able to swipe down from the settings to bring up search.... Its there anyway, so you as well hide/show it.
You should not be limited depending on which search box you pull up. that way iOS will be less messy.

You can swipe them away...just swipe from right to left over the notification and it goes away.
This! Most of the people I communicate with use iPhone, and if I need to send a long(er) video to ones that don't, it's the biggest pain in the neck. iMessage is killer here.
easy, I’d stick with iPhone. To me OSs don’t need to be new every year, a few years of refinements is fine by me. Dark mode I just don’t care at all (what all the obsession is I don’t know), the volume UI sucks but I wouldn’t switch to a whole new platform just for half a second of my life being taken up by it, I like the design of iOS as it is, I don’t have the 6s so wouldn’t affect me, and iPhone 11 prices wouldn’t be affected by iOS
The obsession about dark mode is from an health perspective, the bright wight screens with a lot of bluelight damages the eyes retina for ones, and also choices are nice.
Im using Google Drive for everything anyways, if I wanna send someone a large video, I just send them the link on sms and they can watch in full HD or 4K or wahetever.
I also like ios and the iphones design wise, but they could be so much better giving more options to the user.
Yeah but you have to swipe way too far. It takes a lot of effort to do it consistently, at least for me on the xs max. I’d like to see the swiping behavior default to dismissing the notification unless the user holds and pauses it for the options.
This makes far more sense as most people aren’t utilizing the other menu options other than clear on most days, I’d imagine.
- Complete redesign
- Mouse support
- Probably Apple’s ugliest native app is Calendar. Apps like Outlook and Google Calendar look so much nicer
- Force all apps that use video to have picture in picture
- Dark mode
- Proper multi monitor support (with support for touchscreen external displays)
- Support for external drives in Files app
- Xcode for iPad (also giving more power to app developers so we can get apps like Android Studio, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Atom etc for iPad) - give me this, mouse support and proper multi monitor support and my Mac would legit just collect dust in the corner.
- Apple Music handoff
- Apple Music crossfade support
- Apple Music ability to edit music tags like in iTunes
- Apple Music ability to import local music like in iTunes
- Customisable home screen
- Battery percentage on phones with the notch
- Multi user support
- Always on display for OLED devices
- Safari on iPad runs like desktop Safari
- Change default apps for browser, mail, contacts, calendar, maps etc.
- Change settings in the app in native Apple apps rather than having to go back the main settings app.
- Split screen support on plus size phones as well as picture in picture.
- Add the option for horizontal split screen, as well as side by side, maybe have the option to split screen 3 or 4 apps on iPad 12.9 (a grid of 4) and all iPads when connected to an external monitor. Possibly even the option for floating windows with the option to resize, which makes more sense on the larger iPad and when connected to an external monitor.
- Incoming phone calls do not need to take over the full screen when the phone is unlocked. It is especially annoying on the iPad when I am working. Same with the occasional time the OS pops up a dialog asking you to enter your Apple ID password.
- Allow to change location of the dock on the iPad - left, right, bottom, with auto-hiding
- Cmd+Q keyboard shortcut to close an app
- Option to replace iCloud backup with another cloud provider like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.
I don’t care too much about updates to the phone, I mainly want updates to the iPad to make it a genuine desktop replacement for 98% of people. Also, continue to improve Shortcuts and promote it more. Shortcuts is really great and makes Android users jealous.
Also, not really related to iOS 13. Services. Hardware sales are slowing in growth, so services are really the future. What I would love to see is better cross platform support. Such as iMessage on Windows, Android etc. ICloud Photo Library, iCloud Drive, Apple Notes, Apple Music in the browser, better iWork.

I just want to say, if apple doesn't step it up in iOS 13, I'm not necessarily gonna switch away to android, but I am definitely going to be stretching out the amount of time in-between iPhone purchases. I can't be paying $1000+ every 2 years or even 3 years only to have the exact same operating system. I would easily and gladly stretch it out minimum 5 years. I'm reaching that point where i'm seeing past apple's gimmicks and marketing every year, and at the end of the day its just a shiny new phone with the same apps....
But software updates shouldn't influence your decision to upgrade your phone, iOS updates usually support 5 or so generations anyway.
