I have no idea what you are on about.
The changes in Photos, Messages and Spotlight alone are amazing.
Add to it the long overdue improvements to FaceTime, Focus modes, Wallet improvements, redesigned Notifications, Authenticator, etc…
Either we watched different presentations or you are hard to please.
Normally they would get away with some UI tweaks and a few new emojis.

The whole event was a disappointment.
iOS, nothing new or exciting
iPadOS, screwed over the people who spent the big bucks on the 16gb ram model, same old garbage for iPadOS as well.

There is a lot they could‘ve done to refresh iOS/iPadOS, but hey we got new animoji festures 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
iOS is pretty much perfect. No need for big changes. I'm happy Apple is not ruining it by adding random features that nobody needs. If you don't appreciate it, just try using an Android phone for a few days. I did. That's why I'm happy that iOS will stay the way it is for the foreseeable future.
Spoiler alert: iPad will always be an iPad. Macbook will always be a Macbook. Apple will not let iPad cannibalize Macbook sales by turning iPad into a Macbook, or vice versa.

I was thinking the same until I saw this list:

There are some nifty little things in there. I don't have any Airtags, but if the "separation alert" option works that's pretty cool.
Sure, this feels like iOS 14.8 but I was happy with iOS 14 and am glad Apple have focussed on consolidating that rather than coming up with something totally new, as it's only been a year since we've had widgets etc.
I don't have an iPad, but I reckon iPadOS is still a disappointment to many. Buy a laptop
iOS 15: All the little things
QuickPath (swipe keyboard feature) new languages are: Dutch, Hindi (Latin), Russian, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese I also added these to the wiki post.

This just makes the iPad a perfect companion for Mac users, nothing more nothing less.
But hey, a $999 Macbook Air now can provide seamless keyboard and trackpad input to an iPad.
Yesterday you had to pay $349 for that feature alone in Magic Keyboard form.

Returning my iPad Pro m1 12.9 today, goodbye don’t need a social media tablet waste of money
In what way exactly; what’s the point of them, they are not interactive they are barely useful and the multitasking still sucks; the iPad is a toy; it’s still just a big iPhone, apple have screwed it up and everyone is agreeingOnly disappointment is iOS15 for iPad is basically just catching up with the iPhone, and because we are used to widgets and stuff on iPhone it doesnt feel as special, but its a great update, having widgets on Home Screen and App Library makes such a difference
They still give decent information and some have interactions that help loads. They could defo be improved.
Take a step back and realise the world doesn't revolve around you. Breathe. It's that easy kid.
thanks for calling me a kid
I haven't been asked for my ID in 10 years, that's the closest it will ever get I guess
Wouldn’t say lazy, problem is they don’t have any competition, so they’ll continue to roll out features and new hardware at a snails pace, new iMac is a perfect example, thick enough for Face ID, still no fave ID and ProMotion won’t affect the battery since it runs on power, yep still no ProMotion
iPadOS 15 isn't the final version of iPadOS on the M1 iPad Pro. If anything, you'll probably make it to iPadOS 20. It boggles my mind why people thought Apple would do everything, right here right now. In the end, the M1 iPad is a fabulous product.
Also...
Rule #1 : Never buy a tech product for promised future features.
Rule #2 : Never buy a tech product when assuming what future features should be.

Yea, pretty disappointing for me too. All that power in the new Pro's for nothing. My 2018 is looking better and better every day.
Can you still view the homescreen in portrait mode? Haven't really seen anyone flip it from landscape, yet.
Yes, it rearranges the widgets when changed to portrait.
I can usually tell my non tech friends a "major" feature from a new release they would notice or use, like widgets last time... this time around, I still can't think of a single top feature that makes me say oh! You "have" to update because now you can do this.....
They could just have updated the apps themselves (facetime and maps) and call it a day.
Also.. at least the new wallpapers are cool, but this one.....at least the daytime version, geez.

That's the problem. Apple doesn't seem to be able to update their apps individually; they have to send out an entire new OS each time they want to add something to e.g. Mail, Safari, Maps.
