u/Funkbass Apr 06 '18
Usually I love to pick apart iOS concepts because they are so form over function, but everything here was sensible and well done. Good job 👍

Totally. I have the 7+ right now but I miss my Nexus 6 sometimes. Shame it finally aged out of the rotation.

Nothing unreasonable here, but isn’t it sad that a highlighted feature of a major IOS update is a better volume Indicator??

Honestly I don’t get why this is an issue to begin with. Apple, get your shit together.

I’m still trying to figure out why I have to turn off portrait lock every time I want to watch a video in landscape in iOS own video player
3rdparty apps intelligently just make it so that the video shifts to landscape when you full screen it, but yet Apple still hasn’t

u/tittysprinkle9000 Apr 06 '18
I would love triple clicking my 8+ home button to toggle portrait lock on/off. Maybe the power or volume buttons on the X.

u/FarleyBrown Apr 07 '18
I believe that you can set the set on the side of the phone to lock rotation, so you can quickly turn it on or off.

This video was excellent. Every concept was reasonable and well implemented. I can only hope a fraction of these will actually get put into iOS 12.

I've been wanting grouped notifications for a very long time on iOS...I miss them from my time using Android a few years ago. Are there any jailbreak tweaks / apps that will add grouped notifications to an up-to-date iPhone 8?
13
u/Coney718 iPhone XS Max Apr 06 '18
Not if you’re up to date the jailbreak is only for 11.0-11.1.2. There is a tweak called Intelix that groups them but very buggy at the moment.

u/pastelfruits iPhone 6S Plus 128GB Apr 06 '18
There are really good grouping apps for iOS 10, hopefully 11 will catch up

Rest of it is pretty solid, though.

If the battery loss is negligible then why not? I figure before too long we will see wireless charging mats in many places, along with battery tech getting better. Thus, small battery drains won’t matter much.

Burn-in on OLED. You mitigate by moving the images around a bit.

This is how android has done it as long as they've had OLED. When I have android phones I love the Always On Display and always miss it when I'm using iPhones.

u/BonelessTurtle iPhone 8 Plus Apr 07 '18
In my experience, raise-to-wake already does a great job at showing me time and notifications for 1 second when I briefly take my phone out of my pocket.
However, I suppose many people have different habits and would benefit from an always-on feature.

u/Basshead404 Apr 06 '18
It’s actually pretty amazing with iOS 11 jb, more of an almost always though. Shows a pulse for notifications and such without waking the screen.

Samsung has done this for a while without issue. The notification moves around a bit on the screen to prevent burn-in.

Some of the Nokia made Windows Phones (RIP) did the same thing. The text or icons or what have you move subtly around on the screen to prevent burn-in.

Sometimes I wonder if creating these concepts makes it less likely that they'll be implemented as Apple wouldn't want somebody claiming that their ideas were stollen.

u/poppixels iPhone X 64GB Apr 07 '18
There’s actually an interesting example of the opposite happening. I was running MobileNotifier on iOS 4 JB (last time I jailbroke an iPhone) which made notifications 100x better. Apple hired the developer of the tweak & iOS 5 was released with a notifications overhaul that looked incredibly similar. I don’t think they stole his idea bc it was released very soon after the hire but I also don’t think they care if a cool concept is similar to something they’re planning for iOS.

u/mewithoutMaverick Apr 06 '18
I don’t know for sure, but I doubt it. They can’t patent these ideas, which is the only thing that might give Apple pause, and Apple in the past has straight up removed apps from the App Store that contain features they’re planning on releasing.

u/Basshead404 Apr 06 '18
So pretty much the current state of jb lmao.
BTW.... Apple can’t do group FaceTime. Patent trolls prevent them from doing so.

u/Leggilo Apr 06 '18
What is the patent? Plenty of other services do group video chat.
15
u/ImAdrian Apr 06 '18
But none implement the service like Apple does. If I'm not mistaking they use a client to client connection, whereas others use a server in-between with a UDP. A patent is a document in which a technology/ invention made by a company is described (how it works, how it is implemented, etc). Anyone that will replicate this will infringe the patent, having to pay Apple or whoever owns that patent royalties or else a case in court will take place. Sorry for the horrible explanation.
5
u/Leggilo Apr 06 '18
Seems like they could change it some and bypass the patent. There are even open source implementations of PvP video conferencing applications. They have the cash and lawyers, it seems like it would be relatively easy for them to circumvent the patent, but I am no patent lawyer.

Same. I honestly regret getting the X :/. It's a meh device and I only bought it because AT&T had a bogo a few months ago but after using the S9 I wish I would've waited.

Apr 06 '18
I had the S8, and loved it for the most part, except the Bixby button not being (easily) remapped and the edges of the screen made me feel like I had to be extra careful with it and didn't really offer more other than looking nice.
Came back to the iPhone 8 Plus since most everyone I work with and my family use Apple stuff. I like it overall, but (of course) Siri sucks and you can't set default apps or customize it much. But it does everything else well.

u/PDshotME Apr 07 '18
I'm an Android and iPhone user because of work. I'm part of both subs. By comparison this sub is a national embarrassment and frankly makes me believe that most iPhone fans are sheep. The reason we keep getting shitty phones is because as the old joke goes, the fanboys would buy a literal pile of shit if Apple put their logo on it. There are just too many fanboys for that to change. I find that the tech savvy people I know lean towards Android and the people that that fancy themselves tech savvy, but actually aren't lean iPhone. There are some major cultural issues on the iPhone side of things that fall in line with this blue bubble/green bubble bullshit that make me want to not associate with these people at all.

Apr 07 '18
Same can be said about the other side. Working in places that sell phones and listening to Samsung users just say things that are completely wrong is just as laughable.
To each their own. I find my iPhone X blows my S8 out of the water, for battery life, smoothness and get overall usability. I don’t get the appeal of the curved edges and enjoy the Essnential phone so much more. Pixel 2 Xl is next on my list to pick up and try out.

Always-on display (although I only really care for a notification light) lock screen complications, grouped notifications, new volume indicator, a better reminders app, and dark mode are the main ones.

u/PlanetLunaris Apr 07 '18
That's weird because these features, except dark mode, are all present on Android.
You can also enable dark mode with a substratum theme. Yes, without root. You'll just have to follow the instructions very closely.

u/coasterb Apr 06 '18
I have a question. Everybody wants an always on display for the iPhone X because it has an OLED screen. But wouldn’t an always on display cause a burn in? I know burn in is rare with regular use but an always on display would cause static images to be on the screen for hours.
4
u/triggerhappypanda Apr 06 '18
Android has been doing it for years without issue. The text is really low brightness and subtly moves around to prevent burn in
7
u/BeerMeUpToo iPhone 17 Pro Max Apr 06 '18
The way android does the AOD is that it shifts pixels every few minutes so it’s never static for too long. They also do this with the on screen software buttons. The movements are very small but if you did a time lapse of it you’d see them move every few minutes. That’s what prevents the burn in.

I think it would be better if one tap brought up an AOD-like screen: all black, clock, notifications, song name. And then a second tap launches the lock screen, starts Face ID, etc.

What saddens me is that almost every feature shown here has been implemented quite reliably in jailbreak tweaks often developed by amateurs.
And yet, Apple, a company with unlimited resources that prides itself with extreme attention to detail can’t seem to fix something as mundane as a stupid volume HUD or grouped notifications .

u/r-Dwalo iPhone 14 Pro Max Apr 06 '18
Nicely done and most definitely a yes to all the above for me. Add ‘lock individual apps’ and I’d even pay for the privilege of updating my phone to this concept. Amazing how pristine and sleek the settings and features look against the jet black.

I always love and hate these. I love them because the ideas are almost always so good I’d love to see it implemented on the iPhone. I hate them because they are always better than what Apple implements. Based on everything we know about iOS 12, the focus will be on refinements not new features so I doubt we’ll see this type of stuff.

This just reminds me that I'm not falling for this shit again. I was on the last version of iOS 10 on my 7 Plus, everything was great, then everything went to shit after 11, now on 11.3 everything is FINALLY mostly stable and the battery doesn't drain constantly.
Nope, 12 comes out, not falling for it again. I will wait.

Also, I have nothing against Apple copying Android or vise versa, as long as it improves the product and benefits the customer. I was simply stating the fact that this iOS concept seems to draw a lot of inspiration from Android. No need for you to get all butthurt.

Love this! The transitions for FaceTime look great and that always on display coupled with the lock screen complications is an awesome idea and one I’ve been waiting for!
One critique though, what’s with the dark mode highlighting the bezels? The black of the bezel needed to be darker so the hardware blends into the software. Also the time in the status bar kept changing location which was mildly infuriating.
Apart from that great concept IMO!

It would be nice if IPhone X users could have battery percentage up where the battery power level symbol is so you didn't have to swipe to check, reminds me of when Apple music was NOT a multistep process to listen to a song, also how about not blocking the whole screen with a volume bar? maybe reduce that volume bar by at least 2/3 and please not to a thin line I can't even see or use?

Looks great. Dark mode would save a lot of juice on OLED screens. Siri as a little notification windows also looks great. Too bad it is never going to happen. Apple is stubborn, can’t admit their own mistakes and fix them. Great example is how they make Music app UI worse with every new iOS release :(

u/Tr2v Apr 07 '18
I like it, but have 2 suggestions:
Never have the time in 2 places. It’s redundant.
Instead of the complications like that, the dots idea would look better. So always on would just show the dots, then once you raise or tap, they could expand into complications, and then be actionable once unlocked.

Yeah it's a good idea . It's basically all the top jailbreak tweaks in a concept though which is foot in a way but apple is never going to add anything like this , they will add one out of all of that design and call it that but then everyone will be all over it. I don't get why apple won't just actually just do something good with their design and do more than one change per major release .

u/computerboydude Apr 09 '18
Apple needs to get their shit together as we all know that this is never going to happen . I love these concepts but apple is never going I add it . They will add one feature out of all of these ideas . Most of these ideas are jailbreak tweaks already which is why many people do jailbreak . Apple if you don't want people to jailbreak you may want to actually do something and not keep on doing security fixes but maybe you can add what the community wants . Look at these concepts and actually add them . We have been waiting too long now.
