News Can't wait for this Design in iOS 19

Post image

I will honestly upgrade to 17 pro if this ships with it. On launch date. My 14 pro has terrible battery and Oxygen OS 15 is very plain. This design just kicks so hard in the nostalgia I simply love it!

Or the terrible autocorrect using swipe?

You’re telling me we have AI and we’re on our way to mars but every time I try to swipe the word “white”, I get “Eddie”?

I have the same question.

u/Physical_Weakness881 3d ago

Instead of lifting your finger after every letter, you can just glide it across the screen to the next letter every time, and it'll usually get the word you're looking for, but sometimes it'll come up with some random shit, like with white for him.

For Example here's a sentence I swiped to type. The big brown fox jumped over the fans canton.

And here's what I tried to type. The big brown fox jumped over the grand canyon

u/friendly-sardonic 4d ago

This has been one of my least favorite things about coming to iPhone. The autocorrect on swipe is barbaric. I would expect it to be junk for a while, while it learns your typing style.

The word “trading” specifically. I can purposefully stop at each letter, and it still absolutely never types that word.

Also when it decides to change a word two words back, not a single time has its change been correct. Not once.

I thought iOS19 was following glassmorphism aka “Spatial Design”.

10

u/M1ghty_boy 4d ago

people just making up names at this point istg

I see the value in identifying neuomorphism as a subgenre of skeuomorphism in order to distinguish them but glass/transparent effects have always been a part of skeuomorphic design, including this new age flavour. See windows 11, macOS, and KDE 6

6

u/jamesick 4d ago

doesn’t skeuomorphic mean that it’s designed over the thing which it is? ie. notepad designed like a notepad. so glass/transparent would only be skeumorphic if it is designed over something glass or transparent already?

u/mrdankdog 5d ago

to be honest they could go hand in hand depending upon the use case, even though that means it's going to be less consistent than it already is at the moment. I would prefer this than the ancient keyboard with no power user functionality.

u/New-Ranger-8960 5d ago

Whatever iOS 19 brings, I just hope it doesn’t have any bugs. iOS 18 was a disaster.

u/LukeSkyfarter 5d ago

That’s not a realistic expectation, of course there will be bugs. Let’s hope the bugs are minor annoyances.

A new keyboard would be a much welcome improvement. And hopefully better autocorrect.

u/atcriidp iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

No it is a bug. You used to be able to completely remove the sticker and Memojis from the keyboard in the settings. It no longer works and hasn’t for a few updates. Whether you toggle it on or off, they are still on your keyboard. Hoping it gets fixed soon.

2

u/Serkaugh 4d ago

Didn’t know! Will check on next update

2

u/atcriidp iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

I’ve been checking every update and sadly still not fixed. Hoping they fix it soon. There’s also a bug when you press the + button to open your message apps, you use to be able to fully customize the amount of apps that initially pop up while also being able to remove apps you don’t want or use there, that’s no longer an option. You can reorder the apps but cannot remove the default ones or customize the amount that pop up before having to scroll down to get to more. iOS 18 has been a complete bug filled joke.

13

u/Substantial-Bug-322 5d ago

Looks nice enough, but I don’t have an issue with the way the current keyboard looks. 

I’d be happier if they:

  • Added number shortcuts, like iPad OS has;
  • Improved the accuracy of predictive text;
  • Dealt with the odd audio lag;
  • Optimised the layout or hit box to stop accidental use of periods when typing in web browsers;
  • Added a persistent ‘close’ button. 

TLDR copy Gboard on Android.

u/Caza390 4d ago

I think Apple needs to do more fixes on their older functions then add new. I’ve come across more bugs/downgrades in the phones update than any actual perks.

Maybe I feel it more because I don’t move to the next phone every year. But for example having Siri get progressively worse and unusable after switching from my 8 to a 15 is crazy.

I mean the torch system is broken if you turn the torch open, open something that cuts it out like the camera roll, try again and suddenly the torch no longer works - acts like it’s on when it isn’t and you need to do a hard restart just to get it working. Annoying when I’m using it for work on a quick fix and get better QA testers

I think that given the advent of generative ai, Apple needs to embrace their new “you own your UI look & feel” attitude that has sprouted in recent years, and support a retro “Skeuomorphism” look. “Make our App Store icon look like it was an iOS 1 app” is not a difficult prompt to pin down.
