so with the worldwide developers conference, just a few months away. I thought it would be adequate to discuss what necessary changes need to be made to IOS 9.
1. Clutterless Homescreen
The one feature that android has got almost perfect, is the home screen. Haven’t you ever found it annoying that as soon as you unlock your iPhone the clutter is just too much to deal with. You have all these icons everywhere whether you like it or not, it gets worse on iPad.
My suggestion would be, as soon as you can unlock your iPhone, you have a screen with just the essentails, for example your dock, the clock, the weather and important calendar events. To get the app screen you click on the launchpad icon.
This will save the annoyance of looking at a cluttered screen and a useless lock screen.
2. Themes Not everyone likes white, not everyone is as mad about minamalism as Jony Ive.
iOS 8, has many grown up apps like Weather, but many childish ones, like reminders, game centre and above all else Compass.
Apple needs to introduce themes for its users, you can choose the classic iOS 6 look or even a brand new Watch OS style look.
Lollipop is what iOS 7 should have looked like, the icons in iOS 7&8 look childish to say the least.
3. Wallpaper timers
If you are like me and love a new wallpaper daily, wouldnt it be great to have a timer which changes it daily?
4. Night Mode
When the sun goes down, so the smart phone should react. This can be done by making a less bright operating system for the night, or automatically enabling dark mode. Such in your face apps should be less bright and easier to read.
5. Guest Mode
Yes again Lollipop hit the nail on the head, having a guest mode when people ask you to look at your phone is essential, things such as the photos app should be deleted on this mode automatically.
6. Better Music App
Lets face it, since the slowdown of the iPod craze, apple for the best part has not been up to scratch with its music app. Such enhancements should be.
1. A full FM/AM radio app
2. A better cover flow, maybe by genre. The cover-flow currently looks like it was done on PowerPoint.
3. Automatically retrive album art.
4. The ability to make a playlist from your phone.
5. The ability to listen to a video’s audio without watching the video (ie if you are listening to a review)
7. Colour coded apps
Apple should colour code thier app by making the status bar change to the apps colour, for example Calender would be red and messages Blue. This would take away the nessasary white space which is hard on the eye.
8. Calender, Health for iPad
9. The ability to send certain numbers to voicemail for a set period of time.
10. News App
Finally Apple should have a news app, and with the news you consitantly enjoy, apple can then stream content you want to you instantly.
Misc features
1. Ajust the ipad screen for more apps
2. Better bluetooth file transfer to iTunes
3. Smart Homescreen, adjusts to the weather and time of the day.
4. Splitsceen apps
5. Privacy app, which uses touch id to safegaurd certain apps like whats app.
6. IMessage status’s and profile pics
7. Dictionary app
8. Better stock apps
9. Delete apple apps
10. Tweet from notification centre
I would hate this. This sounds like an Android guy writing about why we hate Android. If Apple does any of this I am still going to be on iOS 8.
Um, no.
Pretty terrible suggestions, overall.
Some of the worst suggestions I’ve ever heard actually. Thank god I’m not alone on this. Suck a Lollipop Bradleyza.
You sound like you should just go Android. You also need to work on your writing skills.
No. Just no. I like how they do it. Though some features really need improvement or fix. But anyway, your suggestions are not 10. They’re 15. Do you know how to count?
All you are saying is that you want Android for iOS. That will never be the case, and these features would take away the key features of iOS
My First comment is about iPhones look, the childish look; it correspond to major customers demand.
Most iPhone customers are below 18, big Childs.
My second comment is about the phone, sometimes it doesn’t sound clear enough on a call on noisy streets. And please, DO NOT TAKE OUT THE COMPASS. Add a Barometer, a Digital Thermometer, and an Altimeter. And if a real pulse oximeter could be adde that would be just great. Don’t forget that elder people are increasing numbers, we have other needs.
Last but not least, my third point of view. Childhood and elder people are most of Apple’s customers.
Keep that always in view.
Apple’s products should please kids and youngsters and at same time be useful to “people with limitations”.
when will release IOS9 beta version? :)
