A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
When you receive a text message and you have CarPlay on, it’s super loud. I have not found a way to lower the volume on that.
Also someone I knew that used to have android said you have the ability to schedule text messages to be sent in the future. I don’t think we have that on the iPhone.
Apps that can *really* stay in the background while doing some processing. Very often I had to wait for the iPhone finish doing something before going do something else, either in other apps or within the app.
A T9 keypad in the Phone Dialer, where punching numbers would start bringing the results from saved contacts.
Ability to add additional memory/storage via SD or other card.
Privacy.
To pause while video-recording
Not a very heavy user, but now that it has a USB-C port, I am out of improvement ideas
Good camera. 15 pro is my first iPhone and I really loving it except the camera. The skin looks horrible in selfie mostly due to some added sharpness and food photos mostly comes out terrible.
Back Gesture !!!
Sound settings for speakers and external speakers.
Side loading apps
Controlling volume on individual things.
Camera as good as the latest Samsung phones
AM/FM RADIO! it should be fucking mandatory
Sending files over Bluetooth to non-Apple devices
Add words to the dictionary.
Ctrl + F type of function
Sideloading 😭 the moment they can do that without much trouble or expiring it’s OVER for android for me! And maybe the iPad Pro can actually do a lot more “pro” things
A back button
Pricing and battery
Stop dictating what level my music is at. I ride motorcycles. I operate large open-cab tractors. I mow my lawn. The phone picks up external racket and piles that on my volume setting and the SOB throttles my volumes for a week.
Alarms that don’t sound like the world is ending when they go off
Long screenshot
Innovation
I’ve been struggling with this for ages: Ability to disable the calls app from showing calls from whatsapp, teams, etc in recents. The number of times I’ve butt dialled work people on my iphone is insane, as teams calls from desktop show up on phone too :(
CLIPBOARD
A desktop like experience that is presented when connected to a monitor. We all know that is never happening, so a more grounded alternative; separate volume controls for different apps.
Side loading. Imagine locking iPhone’s true potential.
Better spelling correction. Better telephoto and super wide angle sensors, better haptics.
Proper widgets. The current ones are hamstrung with some really stupid limitations.
Siri still stinks, and so does voice to text. For the life of me, I can’t understand why there’s been virtually 0 progress in voice to text over the past 20yrs. You’d think it would help you when driving; no, it makes it more dangerous trying correct the wrong shit it typed out.
Better battery life. I wish battery tech was commensurate with hardware advancement. B4 the smart phone, the regular phones had damn good battery life. I feel like I charged the battery In my LG envy once every 2 days or so, and I wish the iPhone was the same
Having no button to close all apps but having to swipe them away one by one.
Needing to learn where the back button is located in all the apps because there is no universal back button.
A fast way to sett different volumes of call, media, notifications...
So many settings can be turned on from one menu, but you need to go to some other menu to turn the function off. Then what the hell is the point of the toggle switch?
Bluetooth is audio only, and when using Bluetooth buds they only last half as long as they did on my Android.
The pure specs are abyssal. I went from a almost 5 year old Samsung S10 to iPhone 15 and there is literally no perceived improvement in screen, battery, speed, camera. Like usb 2.0 and 60hz on a new $1000 phone is bullshit.
I’m that old….. The home button…
Smart dialling!
Different volume for ringtone and alarm. That’s the thing I miss the most of my Android. My alarm are always at 15% volume, but I want my ringtone at 100% volume. It sucks…
The fact that I can't have ringtone on without also having screenshot and camera sounds is crazy
Unless I’m confused, you can do this? It’s definitely clunkier than Android’s but you are 100% able to split them.
Like on the left is my current media volume for videos that might play on Facebook. But in the settings there is my Ringtone, Alerts, Alarm volume which cannot be changed by my volume rockers, because I disabled “Change with Buttons”
Edit: sorry I need to read closer, you said ringtone vs alarms, but I’ll leave this up in case someone didn’t know about this.
Being able to make private folders and hide photos in albums from the main camera roll
A “X amount of time until fully charged” thingy
there’s a shortcut that you can add for this i believe
A “clear all” button to close all apps instead of swiping up one by one.
You can swipe up 2-3 at a time if it helps.
