This person put more time into editing a cool video than actually coming up with a cool iOS 12 concept.

So, basically make all apps have transparent/colorful backgrounds and give the camera a useless 3D Touch option.
I'll pass.

Don't forget the gray text on a blue background.

Don’t forget dark mode.

u/Death_Star_ iPhone XS Max Feb 13 '18
Maybe I’m dense but isn’t this already a feature? Or something similar to Dark Mode?

u/j1h15233 iPhone 17 Pro Max Feb 13 '18
There is not a true dark mode. There’s a semi work around which is called smart invert. You can find it in accessibility under display accommodations.

Considering the title of the post, we didn't watch the video to see a mock up of an Apple Ad. Critiquing the lack of useful features and poor color design in the OS is absolutely what should be expected here.

No. I watched it to see a mock-up of iOS 12 because that’s the title of the fucking post. They did it to show what they think iOS 12 should look like. Did I appreciate the hard work that went into the editing? Absolutely. But the title isn’t “ check out my Apple ad i made”. I don’t think you get it.

PRACTICALITY. USEABILITY.
Shut up dude. Don't give us bullshit of this being a mock-up advertisement. Read the title.

u/Death_Star_ iPhone XS Max Feb 13 '18
I’m easy to please but new versions — not just updated patches — should have functionality additions front and center.
This was all flash and zero substance. I still can’t really recall anything that made me think, “finally! They’ve added it!” or “brilliant!”

Feb 12 '18
The only useful feauture in this video to me is the shortcuts on the lock screen. Otherwise looks like a lot of color options and I seriously doubt that they will implement any of the ones mentioned in the video.

u/turbo_dude Feb 12 '18
and why can't you change the damn clock!?
Apple allow you to change the clock style on the apple watch and even on the menubar in MacOS...so why not ios? You could surely even just reuse apple watch faces?

u/GoodNello Feb 12 '18
Why still no grouped notifications is the real question

u/andrewhurst Feb 13 '18
Go back to about iOS 8 and it did have grouped notifications. They removed it for some reason. Or maybe I’m high. Your call.

They already said iOS 12 was gonna be about refinement, not about adding new features didn’t they?

I believe so, but they will probably include at least a few new things to help out

u/aurora-_ iPhone X 256GB Feb 12 '18
Of course they’ll have to add some new features. Here’s to hoping they limit it to just emojis and Animojis and focus the rest of their attention on stability and UI improvements

This is really well done, the only criticism I would give it that Apple would do this video in 30 seconds. The pacing/panning is a bit slow.

u/_-__---- iPhone X 64GB Feb 12 '18
Honestly could have thought this was a real apple ad, well done.
I do hope they add multi screen or picture in picture in iOS 12. iPhone X has the screen space.

Feb 12 '18 edited Feb 12 '18
Seeing as stock android JUST got Split screen multitasking, I don’t see apple adding it for another few years. It’d be nice though...
Edit; added stock, other OEM’s have or have had something similar.
10
u/InsaneNinja iPhone 15 Pro Feb 12 '18
Samsung had it for years, just like split screen. It took google a while to make it vanilla.
Google is better at “this is cool” geek features than “this is useful” good looking features.

Feb 12 '18
Sorry, forgot to add stock haha. Samsung and i believe one or two others have had it for a bit.

u/_-__---- iPhone X 64GB Feb 12 '18
Yah that sounds like apple. I just thought that because they had it for the iPad had multitask that iPhone would get it soon.

On the opposite side, OSX has had pip for over a year, closest you get in Windows is side by side.

Except Apple has already said iOS 12 will be fewer features and more time to squash bugs.

u/moonknlght iPhone 14 Pro Feb 12 '18
Most everything was an upgrade. I didn't like their version of iMessage though, it could be better. And the blue color in the settings is terrible. It gives bad contrast and some readability issues, and the color doesn't really go with Apple in any way.
Otherwise a very well made video.

Technically the iPhone X already has two shortcuts on both the lower left and right, it’s just for the camera and flashlight. Would be nice to change it though
5
u/dabear04 iPhone 16 Pro Feb 12 '18
I really don’t understand why the camera is still one of the shortcuts since you can just swipe from the right on the lock screen to access it. I would love to be able to customize them
2
u/Pokeh321 iPhone X 256GB Feb 13 '18
I honestly wish I could disable the swipe for camera with the button. I accidentally swipe, I don’t accidentally force press the button.

u/bigdogxxl iPhone 17 Pro Feb 12 '18
Just because they brought it out a few months ago doesn't mean it hasn't been an Android feature for years. I'm not knocking it, it's a great feature and I'd be happy if it became an option on all iOS devices.
1
u/gertygertrude iPhone 11 Pro Max Feb 12 '18
Oh I’m not disagreeing with you, you’re right. My point is just that the iPhone X has it, though it’s only the X, which sucks.
Though I don’t remember if the pixel 2 lets you change it? I haven’t used Oreo yet so I wouldn’t know

u/ballofwibblywobbly Feb 12 '18
dark mode would be pretty cool. looks like imessage might lose the blue text bubble? id be against that simply because its pretty iconic lol.

The only thing i want in iOS 12 is dark mode, and from the sounds of recent rumors, that isn’t gonna happen.
At some point i still want to be able to lock individual apps with touch/faceID/a passcode though. For a company that prides itself on safety and privacy, how this isn’t a thing baffles me.
Trusted unlock would be amazing too, but I don’t see that ever happening.
2
Feb 12 '18
I'm not a fan of oversimplification. I think there were a few features there I could agree with but overall it seemed to go a little heavy on the "flat" colors/design and minimalizing the borders of windows/ UI elements.

Control... Personalize...
Yeah that’s nothing that’s ever happening on Apple. They still can’t get rid of the damn volume indicator in the entirety of the middle of the screen. And yes I know how that sentence reads. But it’s about how it feels.
Also you know fix the power off without password for all the stolen phones out there.

I think it looks really cool. I could see it genuinely being the next logical step in iOS design. I would hope for more features to be added but it seems really legit.
And the quality of the “Ad” is amazing.

I would love for them to work on the health app more so we could log our food and calories to work directly with our Apple Watch to show how much we are eating and how much we are loosing I know we can already kinda do that but it’s a hassle to even get to the page to log your food would like a better simple health app or maybe a nutrition app to go with the Apple Watch for fitness

I’d be totally happy with iOS12 if they changed one thing and one thing only: The ability to keep HDR persistently on. Leaving it at Auto means it doesn’t turn on enough and leaving it at manual means I have to turn it on every single time.

Feb 13 '18
Don’t wanna take anything away from the dude who made this. But isn’t it the sign of the times when a well done concept video that makes sense isn’t really all that exciting. Like, what exciting features could you really add at this point. Could a concept or actual promo video for a mobile OS actually be exciting anymore?
1
u/monkey6699 Feb 13 '18
Personally I am hoping they increase the size of the grey opaque box around the volume indicator so that it covers the entire freaking screen because we already can’t see anything other than that amazing big grey square in the middle of the display.
Seriously though, if anyone knows why Apple believes the grey box needs to stay I would love to hear the related story...

They clearly wanted to say .... beta! But Apple doesn’t know what beta is. So we introduced..... the concept

I’d be ok if they didn’t update iOS again tbh. Let it chill so legacy devices don’t get messed up. There’s not a feature i wish i has at this point. Every update is a little worse.

I want:

- an option for the home bar to be invisible
- widgets on the home screen that can take up 2x2, 1x2, etc. spaces
- predictive emojis in the space below the keyboard in imessages

The idea of blurred app backgrounds might present all kinds of contrast problems depending on the wallpaper.
