very little time is left before the main summer presentation of WWDC 2023.
It’s time to dream up a little and list the most desirable innovations that have been asking for a long time in iOS. The meetings were not repeated.
1. Third party stores for installing SBER, Tinkoff and other remote applications
One of the most popular, but also very rare, innovations could be third-party stores for the iPhone. This is not the idea of the Cupertinos, but the tough government of some countries that want to destroy the monopoly. App Store. Some consider it a breath of fresh air, while others consider it a disastrous innovation for the iPhone.
I think novelty is really important. For the “Old Believers”, the usual favorite App Store is tied with strict moderation and the destruction of Russian programs, and for everyone else, it is possible to install any programs and games without any restrictions without external software influences and dances with a tambourine.
The matter is all but resolved, but Cook and company have postponed the issuance of the bank to early 2024. That’s when App Store monopoly laws begin to take effect in many countries.
2. Access to NFC to replace Apple Pay
This is the second most important innovation that we would like to see in iOS 17. After buying Apple Pay in Russia, there is frankly not enough opportunity to pay for the help of a smartphone. The solution to payment stickers is part of this problem, but they are very far from the convenience and security of Apple Pay.
Forcing Apple to choose access to NFC for external payment systems is also for the parliamentarians of some countries. However, the pressure is not too strong, as is the case with third-party stores. The probability of seeing this innovation this year is falling, but we continue to believe.
3. Protect any apps with Face ID or Touch ID
This feature has been around for a very long time in the jailbreak world, but Apple stubbornly does not want to transfer it to iOS. All you need is one option that allows you to block any game program or a biometric scanner.
Additional verification does not require operating experience, but if the gadget is in the hands, it will not be able to move beyond the iOS desktop. Often, smartphones are stolen after the unlock code is verified, allowing thieves to gain access to the data and apps of the owners. additional verification Face ID or Touch ID could solve the problem.
4. Settings for the Application Library
This element of the system appeared in iOS 14 and was necessary for customizing desktops and hiding application icons. In this case, the library itself is found in the place of origin.
An additional window with folders and icons is practically useless, because programs cannot be moved in it. If a developer uses the wrong version for their program, then it will constantly end up in a different folder.
It is highly desirable that the folders be favorites and recently added applications.
5. Customize iPhone Lock Screen Buttons
In iOS 16, Apple developers have added settings options and screen lock options. At the same time, they did not guess to make a couple of standard buttons on the screen built-in. It’s about calling the camera and turning on the flashlight.
Currently, the called program can be replaced, which can be called using quick commands and crutches. So instead of the camera (which you can launch with a swipe to the left), you could approach Safarifavorite messenger or network rating.
6. Interactive widgets without launching applications
There have been widgets on the iPhone for nearly three years now, but they haven’t changed much since then. Our main complaint about the cards is that they are purely informative and do not allow you to manage the collection.
Widgets count well to keep track of the remaining consumption limit, battery charge or the number of steps taken. However, they do not allow, for example, to switch VPNs, change SIM cards, or activate other iPhone options without switching depending on the app either.
Major changes to how widgets work are long overdue, and some insiders are promising such an innovation in iOS 17.
7. Easily switch between SIM cards from the Control Center
We have long been accustomed to the fact that the iPhone has become dual-sim and now there will be more. Many users are satisfied with several SIM/eSIM cards, for example, with tariffs for favorable rates and unlimited internet. But in some cases, it is desirable to increase the options.
I’m used to using a couple more extra numbers. One “spam” for registration on sites and conversations on ads Avitoand the second from Tinkoff Mobile with convenient recording and transcription of conversations.
Every time you need to change the number, you need to climb into the menu Settings – Cellular and change the connected card, and then you still need to remember to purchase a SIM card so that I can get through to the usual number.
IN iOS 17 I would like to see an easier way to juggle “sims” from Command centre or at the discretion of the operator.
8. View battery level of other gadgets with widget and console
A very simple and banal feature, which for some reason cannot be assembled at Apple. Almost a year AirBuddy 2 and is very used to such functionality that you already want to meet on the iPhone.
A simple widget on the iPhone will immediately tell you the charge level of the iPad and Mac, mood automation will remind you of the need to put this or that gadget on charge.
9. Replacing the stock photo and video app
The iPhone camera has long been capable of capturing cool pictures and recording videos in high resolution. Moreover, the models Pro the latter factors collect material in convenient formats for further processing.
However, in the standard application Camera some basic options or parameters are missing. To go to system settings or use just the operating system.
It is inconvenient to launch a separate application for shooting from the desktop every time, it would be necessary to track the movement of the default camera, by analogy with an email client and an email client.
10. Choosing a default voice assistant
This Wishlist is from the category of fantasy, but it is necessary to mention it. It seems that Apple forgot about the birth Siri and for several years now, an assistant of useful options and innovations has not been added.
enjoy Siri not all Russian-language applications are on the iPhone, and outside the USA, Great Britain and Australia, the popularity of the standard Apple assistant is even lower.
We would like to call Alice from Yandex (well, or an assistant Sberbank) with a familiar gesture or phrase on the iPhone, change it on computers and even on Apple speakers. Think, homepod after such an update it becomes much more popular, because the sound and stuffing there is just top.
Here is a set of chips and delays that can be seen in the Apple ecosystem after updating to WWDC 2023.
