You can always switch to a Huawei phone if you’re not happy. I heard their phones are awesome.

Privacy.
Performance.
External drive support.
Spam call handling.
These are things that actually matter to me and surpass design updates by a big margin. Happy with the update.

Some will like the update, some will not, and many will not really care much one way or the other -- nothing really new, strange, or surprising any of it.
I would think that everyone would like the update, but some may be disappointed that certain features they wanted were not included. Who am I fooling, in this day and age people can find reason to complain and be offended by just about everything!
aside from the privacy stuff, i agree. the announcement was a let down. maybe the software is actually way cooler than it sounds from what little they said.
Haters gotta hate. There's plenty in this release to get excited about... if you want to move your icons around all willy-nilly, there's an android for that.

Would be better if it got silenced automatically and then dropped. Getting my voice mailbox filled up with spam isn't really the answer that I want... but it's close... and better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
This is kinda written like a troll post so idk, but I do generally agree. iOS 13 was supposed to be a big change and it does feel like a let down. I just feel like iOS is a more fluid, easy to understand operating system overall. If it weren't, I wouldn't hesitate to leave the iPhone.
I wish that was the case.
Biggest issue I have and had with Apple iOS; if the basic app had issues you were not allowed to define an alternative default. You were stuck with it.
I also have to say that the Apple version when launched, especially software, is not always doen as right as possible.

That is a hope. Have to see and keeping my fingers crossed.
What do you mean no one has done it better. Um android has. You can place app icons anywhere or by swiping up you get your app drawer in alpha order.

Um i don’t know anyone that actually uses Apple Maps in my family.And keyboard word predictions in SWEDISH! I might finally get scribble as well on my watch
And keyboard word predictions in SWEDISH! I might finally get scribble as well on my watch
- Street View in Apple Maps with clickable stores when "virtual walking" a street.( not sure who uses Apple Maps)
- Apps launching 2X faster, App download sizes smaller
- swipe typing natively on the keyboard (wow way to go, you finally caught up with android after 10 years
- location services privacy
- Sign in with Apple over google/facebook that creates a random e-mail address to register you for a app/service that you can delete later. (Your still letting Apple store your information)
- more intuitive photo editing, video rotation and filters (this was good but unless they put the camera functions right in the app and not having to dive into the settings app then they were lazy to not do this. I mean why can’t we change the video quality within the camera)
- live radio listening (iheart radio does this)
- Siri sounding more natural
- Airpods reading back messages and going into listening mode if you have them in your ear( great a $150 item has some function)
- Bluetooth sharing.
It is an incremental update like any other. It may have more features than your normal ios upgrade. But this was supposed to be the ios which would finally bring a new design etc.
I’ve used YouMail for a while now and it does this very well. Nice to have it natively but will be interesting to see how much control they give us.
I think that assumption about a bigger change is what ends up throwing things off for plenty. It's something that happens with almost every new version where someone assumes something, whether or not it seems like there are more or less rumors to "back it up", and then gets disappointed.
This is what i agree on. Everyone was like wait till ios 13! It will be so different! A whole new redesign etc! They are saving so much for ios 13! And then we get no new redesign or nothing, but added features. And ppl are perplexed as to why others are disappointed. lol!
Well, what if it was a call from someone that isn't a spammer and perhaps there was something important one way or another to it -- a voicemail would be good to have.
Yes that’s what they said last year that they were pushing the new design this year so that iOS 12 would be more for older phones to run smoother.
Probably because it really wasn't even close to everyone and because it was all essentially mostly just rumors/assumptions/hopes/etc.
I still don’t really know what the major features outside dark mode, Apples own data tracking vs social media/google, and the performance upgrades yet again.
Who are they? Some rumors essentially?
Many of the new things major features. If you are talking about major features in the sense of large overall systemwide design/interaction changes, then that's something kind of different.
