RCS, Statelite and Locked Apps.
RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.

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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Pixel 9
Can’t wait for Google to cancel Android and replace it with a messaging service.
None, still waiting for third party stores.
Cries in non-European
Control screen customization I guess? Maybe the hiking thing? (But like there are already decent 3rd party apps for that…)
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.
Well said!
So many features, yet the calculator is still a piece of shit. What’s the thing with Apple? Is it THAT hard to make something like this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calc-smart-calculator/id576675190
Something decent that actually shows you the entire expression with the ability to place the cursor anywhere to edit previously inserted numbers?
I just don’t get it, their calculator is the most useless thing ever, you type a number, hit “+” and the number is gone.
Lots of updates coming to the ios calculator with ios18. They obviously focused on the ipad version because it has the written math notes stuff, but a lot of those features are coming to the iphone, too.

The current calculator has had a lot more options if you turn the phone sideways, but no one ever does that. Personally, I’m a pCalc guy.
They want you to buy the app for that 30% commission.
Devious
No shame in leaving room for third party apps. I don’t really expect the built-ins to be all encompassing…
I fucking do if you can’t install whatever you want.
You might want to check out Android
I am on Android
Nice!
Why am I getting down voted? What did I do?
All of that has been fixed in the iOS 18 calculator, they just didn’t talk about it in the keynote. It has history, multi-line, and your can place the cursor anywhere and edit expressions.
Give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised.
No, it hasn’t. It’s certainly better but not up to what the other one I liked is able to do.
I said the complaints you listed had fixed in the new one. I didn’t say it was suddenly as good as a dedicated calculator app.
Not listed, but Music Haptics. I’m joking, but it’s a thing now. Super glitchy to activate in beta 1.
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!
Nah this community shills for Apple too much
I don’t think that word means what you think it means
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.
The new homescreen grid for sure.
I rather have a real firefox browser.
And uBlock Origin🤤
Well Japan has your back now!
