WWDC - Yearly Disappointment

Well, the main WWDC press conference (apple keynote) is almost over and everything I really cared about is gone. iOS 11 is the worst, somehow worse then 10. New shitty app store with a terrible huge mess of a interface. No new music features, and nothing new with customization. Literally. Nothing. New CC, but it's shit, catering to people with 3D touch devices and only 2 new toggels. IMessage got an update, only with a new app counter. New MusicAPI is probably the only thing to look forward to, as apps can acsees the whole music library and add songs. It's kinda a shame there are more improvements to iOS on ipad then iOS.

iOS 11 feels like a very minor update, and compared to the other iOS updates, it feels like we are getting to a standstill. There are less and less improvements and new features to iOS.

How do you feel? Do you even own an iOS device?

I personally think 10.2 was the most visible update. After a few later updates I stopped updating. No point and was happy with how my phone was.

I'm kinda not sad that I only have an old, shitty iPhone now. Still slightly pissed off that iOS9 made it slow as fuck but the phone was free, so whatever.

I'm updated too far and have a 32-bit phone
 
Agreed. And Affinity Photo on Ipad is just icing on the cake. Finally a full blown app that challenges Photoshop.

I don't own apple devices. I won't own anything by a company who believes I don't actually 'own' the product that I bought with my own money. The iphone 7 has arbitrary software to prevent swapping of any part by anyone but a qualified Apple Technician. That itself puts it into question whether you actually own the electronic or not.

There are so many things that apple could improve or add, iOS feels like a fancy unfunished mobile OS for me. (Im an iPhone user)
 
Maybe it's time to switch allegiances? Customization and Apple don't really mix, unless anything has changed you can't even set the default app on iOS devices.

You're paying a lot more than you need to for something you're bored with and doesn't cater to your power user requirements.

Time have changed a lot since iOS 6. Since then, there are widget, custom APIs that modify the stock apps, you can "delete" the Apple official apps and use third-party ones as default, etc.

I didn't even see anything about apple carplay. Have they given up? Or can someone enlighten me if they did announce anything? Honestly android auto Is eons ahead anyways, last time I tried I couldn't even ask Siri to play a song through Spotify. Plus with Android auto you can just use the app while going down the road as long as you have Bluetooth using only your phone. Sure, the standalone app for Android auto is still a bit buggy at times, but it has gotten a lot better over the last few months and Google has definitely been hard at work improving it.

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
