in iPadOS i’d love to see the calculator app 🥲

Make apps request access to play audio like they request access to use location data, notifications, and the camera.

Siri is a disaster that seems to actually get worse with each release even for the most simple things.

It’s especially terrible when there are multiple devices in the same room and they all act independently. Why the fuck can’t my phone, watch, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and HomePod all co-exist in the same room and share the same music controls, timers, alarms? If music is playing on HomePod and I ask to turn on the tv in the same room maybe pop up a subtle prompt on the Appletv asking if you want to stop the music and dim the lights? This could all be possible even with apples more strict privacy guidelines. Instead all of these Siri enabled devices just refuse to work together in a coherent way.

A change in the design language of 1st party apps to eliminate pop-ups (which will hopefully encourage 3rd party apps to follow).

I’m ridiculously tired of opening apps, and they need to do a little animation to tell me about some new feature, or to ask for a rating, etc. Popups are a horrid user experience and Apple needs to lead the way towards getting rid of them.

VisionOS is shaping pu to be Apple’s nicest looking OS, i would love to see ios 18 adopt that design language.

Multiple profiles. Bar that, then at least multiple instances of apps, so say I could login to two different accounts of the same app at the same time.

Transcribed voice memos.

External storage photo capture of any format, not just ProRes log.

Allow true flexibility where I place icons on the homescreen

a number row in the keyboard

give us ability to turn off the feature that lets you change lockscreens directly from the lockscreen

T9 dialing FFS.

Expand photographic styles to include some that have way less sharpening

Stop with the air quality/clean energy/COVID stuff. The Mother Earth ad was bad enough. Now I’m getting political lobbying ads on my phone? This is completely out of line for Apple.

Swiping unlock passcodes. And scrambled-swiping-passcodes for privacy.

1. Customisation such as icon backs, transparent backgrounds in widgets, freedoms to place icons anywhere.
2. Ability to change the default voice assistant.
3. Sideloading apps.
4. Battery life and general performance improvement if possible.

Photos

• Smart Albums synced to iOS/iPadOS
• Ability to import Raws only or JPEGs only
• Ability to separate Raws and JPEG (keeping only jpeg)
• Ability to zoom to 100/200% for checking critical focus before import
• Improved culling experience

I just want a google calendar widget for the lock screen

Your mom’s assssss
