RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.

Chat bubble classism/racism is unacceptable
TIL that Android phone users are a new racial category.
(Not sure if sarcasm)
Android phones are cheaper upfront that then leads to the people of colour often using them in the global south
And people of whiteness in the global north, as well.
It actually kind of is
Literally nobody cares what colour your bubbles are.
What is annoying is how group chats suck when people on android are involved.
I’m mostly looking forward to that being fixed
You a teen in the US?
Saw a teen tell Tim Cook kids in his school were being bullied over not necessarily one hue vs. another shade but presumably the degraded functionality (simplified as “green bubbles”).
Group chats are so huge - and including one non-Apple user means nobody gets bells & whistles.
It’s absolutely ridiculous! But it’s hard to argue - it’s happening, making less money would stop it, but money matters more than kids.
Oh get off it. This is “video games cause school shootings” levels of wrongness
You said it yourself, group chats suck when Android users are involved. So Android users aren’t added to the class group chat and they miss out on sharing notes, events, and much of social interaction with their peers.
I just don’t think you and I are the people who see this stuff.
When it comes to video games and violence, you have to try - try to draw lines.
What kind of line needs to be drawn to deduce “who’s green?” is related to a feature?
Hmm it’s like I missed the second half of your comment earlier… we agree on functionality being more important than color.
I don’t think “color” would ever have been an issue with feature parity.
Sorry 4 misreading this I think
Why does this sub exist? To shit on Apple? Literally all the comments are neckbeards complaining about this or that. Wtf?
Because it keeps showing up on /all and the apple haters just can’t help themselves. People enjoying things drives them insane.
Look at all these kids having a good time! Not on my watch!!! 🙃
Maybe with the new watch OS it could be on your watch too!
Not a neckbearder and not really a hater, but oh my god I fear the day my family’s group chat finds out about text effects.
Nah this community shills for Apple too much
I don’t think that word means what you think it means
I rather have a real firefox browser.
And uBlock Origin🤤
Well Japan has your back now!
None, still waiting for third party stores.
Cries in non-European
Auto sorting in Mail, to be honest.
Apple recreating Google Inbox would be an ultimate power move.
Locked apps! All the porn, and all the incriminating evidence of my affair. Thank u Tim Apple! Very cool.
Jealous partners and judgmental family are going to have a harder time.
Apple Intelligence. The image generation and bullshit text generator aspects I’m over (although Genmoji looks cute), but the ability to process complex natural language requests using an on-device LLM so I can perform tasks via voice without laborious specificity?
I’m in. If they nail this it will be the biggest leap forward in human-computer interaction since the GUI.
The other features I already like in DB1 aren’t on this feature slide either:
- The new Calendar app with a proper multi-day view is great and has already replaced the “list” view I’ve used since 2009. I like “list” but it makes every day look busy visually, and makes it difficult to see gaps in your day.
- New Calculator app finally has most features people would like. Multi line, easy editing of mistakes, a history, etc. They only talked about the handwritten stuff for iPad in the keynote but the whole thing is vastly improved across all iOS platforms.
- This one is on the slide but the new Photos app is great, although some don’t like it I found most features in Photos were buried and people never used the tabs in the app, just scrolling down to see everything actually works quite well. Most users seem to think that the first tab is the only one you need to use and everything else is just settings and whatnot so it’s best to just adapt to that at this point.
Well said!
RCS, Better Home Screen and Control Center customization, finally getting locked and hidden apps on iOS as Android has had those for years! The Photos update is pretty good, in addition to Lock Screen customization.
No mention of the calculator app on iPadOS smh
Because this is the ios screen and there is a seperate one for iPadOS? Or am I missing the joke?
I took it as a funny
The one that’s not shown: Standalone Passwords app
Yes!
Eh on Mac it looks like a downgrade to keychain
RCS support
Does anyone else have this problem: Some messages only showing up for iPhone users in the group SMS chat? For example someone will answer a question that the Android users never see. Then those questions randomly show up a week later for Android users? Hopefully RCS will fix that.
The satellite thing will save lives
Great feature. Will note they did have emergency satellite messages before, iPhone 14/15.
Hmm in most countries:
Satellite connectivity isn’t offered on iPhone models purchased in Armenia, Belarus, China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
Apparently no paid agreements to use satellite around those regions.
Honestly, I just hope Siri transcription for iMessage gets better, and that the music app will actually do a decent job of recognizing the artist/album/thing I want to listen to.
Can’t wait for great dictation (please! 🤞)
Definitely Emoji Tapbacks
RCS, Statelite and Locked Apps.
