It could use a better keyboard implementation.

Dreaming here, I’d really like to see an iPhone fold.. iPhone on top, iPad mini on the inside

[–] cha0z_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A lot, to name one - better thermal solution and SOC efficiency as right now the phone can get hold quite easily if you play anything heavy + the screen dims on top of the not that comfortable to hold phone (and the heat is also not good for the internal components, including the battery).

improve cooling and faster charging time

[–] Fender_Stratoblaster@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How could it get any more awesomer?

[–] ILostMyMainAccounts@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Something like routines from Samsung

[–] gigantojimuk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Only your imagination could limit how good it could get. There are always advances in technology. Eventually come become a personal transporter device. 🖖🏼

Integrate notifications with dynamic island

[–] lucassster@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Next is folding. Then it will switch to “eye-phone”

A simple Toggle for location services in Control Centre :(

[–] brimston3-@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You mean you don't like going into settings -> privacy & security -> location services, toggling the location services button, then pressing the "Turn Off" confirmation popup at the bottom?

It's almost like they don't want us to turn it off and their airtag service falls apart without participating iPhones providing that location information.

Apple Vision Pro will probably be the next best thing once they can make it into a pair of glasses instead of helmet

Split screen. My old xiaomi did it.

[–] e7ang@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

In screen finger print, built in magic pencil, even smaller notch, super fast charging

Pretty much everything the s23 does already.

[–] soreyJr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Where the split screen apps at tho 😩

Nah. Under display camera and face id is the right way, notch is a bad design choice to aim for.

[–] FabianValkyrie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I disagree. The under-screen fingerprint sensor and built in pen would take up a bunch of internal room that most people would rather use for battery. Fingerprint sensors are generally worse than FaceID anyhow.

Smaller cutout and fast charging are def true though.

Most u can do is remove the notch completey but yeah that’s abt it

[–] Available-Fill8917@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (54 children)

iPhone is a nice piece of hardware, but the OS has lots of room for improvement.

  1. Better robocall blocking
  2. Call screening similar to visual voicemail
  3. Better voice assistant
  4. Wait for me on hold feature that listens for a person
  5. Visual phone trees so you don’t have to listen to phone tree systems on customer service calls.
  6. RCS for better cross platform communication
  7. A better notification system with built in interaction systems.
  8. Better app icon movement experience and the ability to put app icons anywhere.
  9. Default map app choice similar to browser and email
  10. Universal back gesture that works everywhere consistently
[–] Present-Ad-9598@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

1.) It already silences calls from spammers 2.) what are you asking for 3.) I agree, Siri is lacking in many places 4.) what 5.) what is a phone tree 6.) maybe, but I’d hope RCS enabled devices work with Apple on a universal end to end encryption (that’s not owned by google) 7.) how would you improve the current system 8.) I could take it or leave it, I put everything on one screen for the most part anyways 9.) you can already set a default maps app, and have been able to for a while now (iOS 15?) 10.) back like going back a page? Swipe right from the left edge of the screen

[–] krusebear@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Apple needs to adopt all the pixel calling features. I miss them so much.

[–] Ahleron@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The calling features, particularly call screening, is what has kept me on Pixels for so long but I've reached a point where I can no longer ignore the rest of the failures/problems with Pixels/Android. Pretty well hae made up my mind to switch to iPhone because Pixels have turned to crap since Google switched to Tensor.

I do the exact same things - often with the exact same apps - as I did 15 years ago.

Google, eBay, PayPal, Amazon, Pandora, Associated Press, Box, Shazam, Kindle, Chase Bank, Flickr, Twitter, IMDB, 1Password, are all apps that I downloaded in 2009. If you add in the apps from 2010, that would cover 90% of what I do today.

Changes have been pretty minor overall and I don’t expect that to change.

[–] spaceraingame@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I personally miss the home button

[–] MoistDef@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (8 children)

My short list is battery life, RCS, and Nokia 3300 level durability.

The best iPhone would be an S23 ultra with iOS, or at least with FlymeOS form Meizu.

One day, phones will project things in the air like holograms. Interactions will be more fluid-like. Apple Vision Pro is a sneak peak at the technology we will one day have in our pockets.

I think it'll be optional though, I think there will always be people who proclaim that "2D phone screens were better!" but the vast majority of people will enjoy the Star Wars tech.

I would love a folding iPhone. I really like my fold 5 but my 13 pro is still my daily use phone. I think once rcs supports hits, I may fully switch over to android.

[–] FabianValkyrie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I want a folding iPhone with the Pixel Fold’s aspect ratios

[–] swagglepuf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The big difference between Samsung and Google when it comes to the fold is thier focus. The pixels fold has a great front screen that just happens to be on a folding phone lol. The inner screen has no advantage outside of being bigger.

Samsung has always made its focus the big folding display. All of their refinement is based on improving the experience on the big screen. The front screen was never meant to be the main display of the phone. I appreciate that a lot, it kind of makes use the big display and all its glory.

One of the reasons I actually canceled my pixel fold order was because of the front display. Why do I want to pay 1800 for a phone I will rarely open lol.

Split screen multitasking please and allow me to move my icons where I want.

I know I’m gonna be in the minority here but I don’t think the newer models have really had much to offer to the point I want a new device. What has come out has just been a bit stale for me.

T9 dialling, side loading apps, actual RAW output from cameras with native camera app, i.e. no AI massaging. 120hz on base models.

Let’s just say the only thing I’m freaking waiting for is for them to unlock the app grid and let us put apps wherever we want. I don’t even care about the custom icon crap, I just want to put all my apps on the bottom of my Home Screen without having to use widgets I don’t need to push all my folders down to the bottom. Back when I used Android long long ago, I always had just the bottom two rows of apps and an empty space above to see my wallpaper, I liked the minimal clean look and be able to see my wallpaper when I’m actually using my phone and not just on my Lock Screen. Other than that my iPhone does literally everything I need it to and it’s my only device. TV, Movies, YouTube, Social media, photography and videography, editing, rendering, occasional gaming, finance, business, everything is done just on my phone I don’t even own a TV let alone computer or tablet etc. iPhones and smartphones in general have peaked. Until we have some crazy technological innovation, they’re gonna stay basically the exact same with spec improvements. Foldables still are janky and damage stupid easily for $1700+ devices… and they aren’t good for the general public besides basically literal office workers that don’t do anything besides sit there all day. The plastic “glasstic” screens dent with a finger nail or the pixels bleed in less than a year.. give it another 5-10 years and we’ll see something insane happen but till then it’s gonna be much of the same we’ve had. Sorta how we went from these tiny ass smartphones with sub 300p displays, all the way to 2.5k displays in less than 10 years. Just gotta give it time. Till then start saving some money and rock your favorite iPhones till they lose support unless they come out with something insane before that point!

Faster charging

[–] Fantastic-Minute-939@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I just want to be able to have icons for the folders instead of mini pictures of the apps that I can’t see!

Also, call recordings!

[–] randomnerd97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Let’s start with fixing iOS so it doesn’t lag like a 2012 Android. (A hyperbole of course but if the keyboard on iOS 17.1.1 still lags so bad it’s driving me insane).
