Re: What features do you think will be included in iOS 7?

The ability to:
- Send attachments in the native Mail app... Photos, documents, etc...
- Make iMessage more visually friendly (avatars could be a good start)

You can already attach photos in email by long pressing in the body of the email.

iMessage shows the picture of the person from my address book as their avatar.

I'd like mission control style multitasking

Re: What features do you think will be included in iOS 7?

Spotlight is another option. I'm just not one to type. Siri is somewhat limited because of older hardware or situations where you need to be quiet (movie theaters, offices etc.). I'll be watching to see if anyone correctly guessed what finds up in iOS7.

Just let me hide that stupid newsstand icon or at least place it in a purgatory folder.

I'm voting for some of Siri going local

Make messages app more like messages for Mac. The ability to add other services like yahoo and Facebook. Then I could get rid of IM+.

The ability to show nicknames over the full name when someone calls, or when creating emails/texts/iMessages. The way I currently handle this is to create an additional contact card with only the nickname as the first name and unite it with the contact card with the full details. Bit of a hassle. I'd rather see "mamma" calling versus her full name.

Don't take this the wrong way,but couldn't you just use the nickname as the contact info? That's what I do.

Re: What features do you think will be included in iOS 7?

personally, i do not want any new features..

this will help me lower my expectations and avoid any possibilities of frustration when that time comes. every year people set the bar high and Apple always seems to come way beneath than what most people would like to see, i'm not necessarily complaining about it either

i have been an iPhone user for a while now and am smart enough to know how "it just works"

the rumor is iOS 7 is to be completely revamped. everything is a rumor until Apple officially announces it. their definition of "revamped" could be completely different than what you and i are thinking. but like every year, i lower my expectations and go from there. probably a method a lot of others should adopt

Yes please. One of the most annoying things about using iTunes. I think that's why more people use alternates like ifunbox.

Weather integration onto the lock screen. Like on this JB tweak. OR I am sure Apple could find a better implementation. This tweak looks very much like the weather widget in the notification center. I am really looking forward to this on the lock screen. It is clean and wonderful!

True, but there's going to come a time where resting on past success won't work anymore.

i have been an iPhone user for a while now and am smart enough to know how "it just works"

Well, you should be smart enough then to know that that is 100% BS, pure propaganda spread by fanboys. Ever since 6.1.X came out battery life on many many peoples phones is absolute garbage, way worse than Android phones, the supposed "bugginess" of Android is also a thing of the past, iOS has all sorts of problems, just read any iOS help forum and it's riddled with people having all sorts of issue's, that aren't JB related either. And I'd say Android is ahead of Apple now as far as the so-called "user experience" goes, for being such a locked down, restricted OS, with zero customizability, it shouldn't be plagued by battery problems, freezing, data loss, etc. Whatever issue's there still are with Android, I feel they are ahead of Apple since there are so many options with them, at least you get something in return! All Apple's restrictions do is hurt the end user who cannot set the phone up to his/her liking, it will be interesting to see what the next update to Android has in store, I'd bet money it makes Apple's iOS 7 update look like another joke non-update. Now that companies like HTC have come out with hardware as good as the iPhone, I don't see any reason to buy a iPhone 5s unless you really really want to stick with the Apple ecosystem.

the rumor is iOS 7 is to be completely revamped. everything is a rumor until Apple officially announces it. their definition of "revamped" could be completely different than what you and i are thinking. but like every year, i lower my expectations and go from there. probably a method a lot of others should adopt

I don't expect anything but some more boring, flat icons, and a removal of all bits of skueomorphism from Apple's stock apps (which hardly anyone uses anyways). Those are the rumors we've heard, haven't heard anything regarding the dated and convoluted OS. Quicksettings? Quickreply? Actionable notifications? That tedious way of deleting notifications from the pull down? don't bet on it.

 

[Les74]

I will ever understand why people come here to bash Apple products. If you feel that negative about it, feel free to buy an Android phone.......since,ya know,they make such stellar,bug free devices and all.

Ah, the tired old love it or leave it nonsense..

Almost as tired as the "Apple sucks" rhetoric.

Re: What features do you think will be included in iOS 7?

I could absolutely be in the minority here but I'd love to utilize my notification bar much like android does. I came from the droid ecosystem so it's been a change to give up some of the features, although the stability has been worth it. I miss the clock and weather widget the most, but would still like the abililty to disable or not use this to avoid draining battery or memory. Quick reply in notifications, integrated messaging like others have mentioned, and it would be awesome if we had a swype keyboard in either the app store, or natively. Swype was awesome for one handed replies.
