What do you use as a utility app or hope Apple will make this year or next year?

Well a wish list utility app.

—clipboard app manager

where you can copy text, images and pictures into the clipboard and than later on paste it into the app you want..You set a limit how much you can copy and the app remember it in the clipboard. The app remembers 10 things, 50 things or 100 things so on.

Than Apple built in clipboard that will only remember one thing at the time.

I use FileBrowser for Business for file management; I don't use Files at all. I use Photo Manager Pro for managing photos; I use Photos to the minimum extent possible. I use System Status as a system info app; among other things, it tells me storage usage on attached external storage.

I believe some of those options are available in Safari settings.

It'd be nice if Apple allowed to have some more control over known WiFi networks in iOS, so you could prioritize them, for example (like you can on macOS).

I don’t know why any OS today support Java scrips.

Most malware and adds come in by Java scrips.

When I use windows and go to web sites with JavaScript turn off well pages load really fast with plain old HTML.

You might be confusing Java with JavaScript perhaps?. A lot of web technologies and sites are built on top of JavaScript and a lot of what's out there wouldn't really work without it. (Java is actually behind a lot of things as well, but it's more on the backend side of things, so that doesn't really need to be explicitly supported on the client side.)

It just that most of the malware out there and adds come in by javascrips.

With desktop computer with Firefox you can block it.

And web sites load faster and are safer.

Many simply wont work in many ways without JavaScript. Not really sure about much malware coming through either (and with iOS devices that's not much of a factor either).

We get more browser updates now to address the malware issues. On iOS, in the Safari settings, there's an Advanced section at the very bottom that has the option to disable JavaScript. It's mostly so a developer can put a message to tell you to turn it on though.

And yeah, it's used everywhere on the web these days. Even Apple supports it in Script Editor on the Mac, a lot of us are writing JS based stuff.

We got a translate app from Apple this time around. Not really something you would've expected...
