What does the iPhone need to reach perfection? I’ve thought of 7 things I could change or ask Apple for iOS
It is enough to look into the past to realize that iOSthe mobile operating system of the iPhone, has changed through 18 long years of history. Starting with the name, since it was previously called iPhoneOS and it was not until the iPhone 4 when iOS was officially named by Steve Jobs. The App Store was a vital part of its success in later years and users always want more and more changes. Something as delicate as customization just started happening with iOS 18among other changes that, although they make it the safest; There are other details that could bring it closer to perfection.. I will list 7 things I would change for the iPhone.
Have a home button (although it already existed)
The iPhone was especially characterized by having a single physical buttonwhich some time later was transformed by incorporating a fingerprint button and then a haptic button that ended up disappearing with the arrival of the iPhone.
It’s strange that something like this hasn’t been carried over with later iPhones considering that Apple decided to include the Action button instead of the mute switch. However, Apple may have left it hidden somewhere and that’s right. Just go to the Accessibility section to search AssistiveTouch. It is a function that, although it is true, has existed for years and some users like it for the simple fact that the start button is still present, Apple should consider having it by default.
iOS AssistiveTouch Button
Of course it is easy to return to the home of iOS with the lift-up gesture, although this gesture is mixed with the multitasking gesture. Should we have a dedicated home button like we once did? It doesn’t have to be physical.
Unlock iPhone by viewing it without having to lift it up
If you thought the first thing didn’t make sense, you can mix it together with this other one. Some iOS users complain that they cannot directly access the home menu with simple Face ID unlocking. Apple implemented that swipe up mechanism perhaps for a security aspect. On Android it is possible to do this, although on iOS it provides a more careful visual appearance when doing so. Will we ever see this type of unlocking on iOS?
Two apps at the same time, is it too much to ask or is it exclusive to iPadOS?
On Android it is possible to split two apps on the screen or have one in floating screen mode. On iPadOS it is also possiblealthough the floating window is kept in a single position. What happens with iOS? It’s somewhat mysterious but I suppose it must be an issue precisely of not “mixing” exclusive functions of operating systems.
This is what Split View could look like on the iPhone
Apple would not lose followers on the iPhone by implementing something that for others is complete normality. You could gain Android followers who stay here for this very reason.
An important iOS extension, CarPlay should allow this
Although it has already been shown what the next generation CarPlay would be like, There is a small detail that could be taken into account to significantly improve. We know that Apple doesn’t want car drivers to be distracted by their iPhone behind the wheel. What I could do For a better experience for the co-pilot and passengers, it should be possible to connect a secondary iPhone in such a way that it allows video playback. on the car screen.
If it’s too much for Apple, It should at least allow this playback when the car is stopped. Waiting in the car would be much better. Android Automotive will allow you to share content from any Android mobile using the native Google Cast function.
Apple CarPlay vs Android Auto
Use iPhone in landscape mode
In the same way as in the first thing, This is something that existed on the iPhone and that was liked in the iPhone Plus sizes because of the screen. It is possible to use certain apps in landscape mode to take advantage of the screen. It is said that Apple removed this option for Face ID). What would happen if you decide to return it as it exists on the iPad? The iOS screen would look good in landscape mode now that it is possible to modify the position of the apps.
Preview on iPhone
This thing is something more personal since Preview on macOS is one of the nicest apps that exist if you dedicate yourself to editing content. We have talked at length about the functions it incorporates and Having an app like this on iOS would be great. Apple, if you’re not going to give us macOS on the iPad, at least include one of your best apps on iOS and iPadOS.
Siri more human even if she doesn’t know about AI
Siri, graphical interface of Apple’s virtual assistant
To conclude this compilation of things, With the arrival of Apple Intelligence we know that Siri will gain many functions. It will be completely renewed but that will be thanks to the AI itself. What would have happened if AI had not yet reached Apple? Siri would perhaps be the same clumsy, convenient assistant who gets confused when asked simple requests. There will be millions of devices that will be left without Apple Intelligence. Why doesn’t Apple decide to renew Siri without AI? Just as they showed the type of understanding that you will have on the screen and the most natural language when requesting a request, how difficult is it for this to be transferred to an iPhone that does not support AI?
They could at least improve Siri so that it becomes more effective even if it doesn’t work with ChatGPT. By users who are not yet familiar with AI, for older adults that have gone viral that can be understood by a virtual assistant (like Alexa) and by many other users who declare themselves enemies of technology because the iPhone is unintelligible to them.
These are 7 things I would like to see iOS change or include in the future. Some existed, some may be activated, and some may be things we never see. Which ones do you stick with?
