I was never a big fan of iOS widgets until a few months ago when I began using them more regularly. One thing baffles me though: how did Apple overlook the simple function of allowing the user to select a specific photo album for the Photos widget? This seems like a painfully obvious feature that would occur to anyone, yet the Photos widget lacks it.
I agree that I would like to have that functionality with it. Having photos specifically from a vacation album would be nice! I don't need to see the memes I save or the recipes/weather screenshots that I forget to delete ? . Family, pets, travel...that's the stuff I want to see pop up!
Another thing that I would really like to see happen with iOS 15, widget-wise...is for the Music and Podcast widgets to have controls on them. Granted I'm not sitting on my Home Screen or looking at the widget page the entire time I have music or a podcast playing, but it would be nice to have that functionality there for those times when that IS what I happen to be looking at.
The way the widgets are built using Swift kept Apple from making the widgets interactive in iOS 14. I’m pretty sure we’ll a big upgrade in functionality in widgets this year in iOS/iPadOS 15.
I would like to see the title under the icons be removable. Also while we're at it the widget titles, let's have an option to remove those as well. Would make for a much cleaner home screen. Also icon placement left up to the user would be nice.
Can’t believe this hasn’t already been implemented tbh. It’s so unnecessary after just the first 5 minutes of you using the phone and learning the gestures.
It’s also like the notch: after 5 minutes you don’t even know it’s there.
Exactly how I feel about it, but at the same time wouldn’t mind an option to turn it off either. Notch doesn’t bother me at all, I kinda like it in some weird kind of way. I thought it would be weird going from no notch back to a notch again when I briefly went back to Samsung and then this current iPhone, but it really wasn’t. I just get so used to it that it isn’t even thing for me anymore.
What a coincidence...because along with that home bar, I am definitely also in the minority that finds the Notch really annoying as well and am praying for it's swift demise.
I just cannot do with any kind of intrusions into my display / viewing field. It's a huge pet peeve of mine.
I don't know, but some how, I started facing voice (phone) call deterioration (thru speaker) right after first beta of OS 14 last June, and it continued till today on 14.6 B2 on my XS. I tried all options of downgrading and re-installation, but sound quality has been an issue while Bluetooth EarPods call quality is excellent. I thought, it could be because of speaker problem but songs, YouTube and whatsapp call quality are excellent. I would like to have experience of other users of XS. I wonder, whether it is apple's un-announced strategy to de-motivate users of slightly older models to shift newer ones forcefully. Sometime, It was so frustrating that thought of shifting to android but so much complications of transferring everything from icloud.
Now, expecting ios 15 may correct it and I may get back same call quality as of ios 13 or before.

Yes. Next thing they will do is cause your phone to emit foul odors.
Buy a new phone or else! Bwahahaha!!!
Personally, if I were you I’d switch to Android.
The notch doesn't bother me at all. The homebar wouldn't bother me either if it wasn't bright white.
Possibly my level of OCD that causes the notch to drive me nuts. I have yet to buy a phone with a notch because I can't stand the clutter at the top of the screen it just looks way out of place and is not a clean look overall.
So I agree with you 100%.
@arn @maflynn Wouldn't this be about time to create a separate section for iOS 15, moving this thread into that section? My apologies if we do not do things 3 weeks early, I have not really been following when you create the new sections.
Also, since this is speculation, the only two wishes I have for iOS 15 that I can think of right now are that the iPhone 8-style phones get the iPhone X-style dock and that the folder display limit increases to 12 instead of 9. That's it.

Specifically referring to the fact that it doesn’t seem to be an iOS 14 style Settings menu in that image…
