IOS 13: some leaked feature info
- Thread starter OtherWorldly
- Start date
I am pissed about a bug that got me this weekend on iPad Pro. I had typed up a pretty long and important document in split pane multitasking mode - one side was a PDF (in acrobat I thought) and the important doc was word processor. I went to check a fact online and I got the hard silent app crash- where the app you return to just dies and vanishes. I hadn't saved and it never made it to drafts, save or autorecovery. It happens a few times a month but usually it recovers a copy or reverts to previous condition/open tabs if it's browser etc.
I was bummed. My fault partly but stability of multitasking and caches seem to be contributing factors.
Oh and apple- Facebook is never going to fix their (possibly deliberately) buggy iPad browser forms so maybe you can throttle their ridiculous invasive keyboard and autocorrect scripts because I am not switching to their apps. Ever.
Not Mobile version I guess but that's a user preference so I share your confusion.

I use my pro as my primary travel laptop and writing device. 12 inch with Smart Keyboard cover. For word, final draft, review playback and script notes — it is Fantastic. And some sketching. but I can't upgrade to new gen because they removed headphone jack making its "Pro" designation for media/screenwriting/AV/editing just ludicrous and completely unnecessary.
I don't like the phone removal but there's no rational justification for removing an almost essential industry standard connector from a thick 12 inch form factor. Hell it's fatter in that slab than the edge of the older model and there's not even the waterproof excuse.
And they better fix the random vanishing cursor bug. Happens on every app with typing.
Only took them 12 years to get that giant ass icon off the middle of my screen.

Nothing super sexy since it's all developer geared, (and they should have had access to long, long ago anyway), but good strides nonetheless. A lot of it seems to be setting the stage for a real file system on iOS. Finally.
Fucking finally. But not enough. I love my iPad Pro 11 but if they really want that whole "pro" label to mean something they need to open up the usb-c port to far more than SD card readers and bypassing the photos app.
iOS 13 is supposed to have the total Home Screen refresh that was rumored for 12 but delayed for under the hood stuff, right?
I wonder if my 6 will even be able to run iOS 13 ):

Siri being opened to developers is pretty sexy. I would love it if I could just command Siri to play song on Spotify, since I don't have an Apple Music subscription.
Exactly. I like a good storage space up sell like anyone else but they gotta do this.
Maybe instead of drag down to open notifications -> drag right to open camera it opens finder instead. Something where it can be accessed without leaving the current window. iOS needs a modern redesign for modern user flows and make it more platform specific.
I'm not sure if you're being serious. But battery % is available now. You have to toggle it on in Settings. Then just swipe your finger down in the Home screen to see it.
I'm a bit apprehensive about changes to the Mail app. It's so simple and clean as it is now.
That should hopefully quiet the Spotify users who complaint that it doesn't work with Siri.
And hopefully this will mean that I can reload my Presto card with my iPhone.
External storage support is inevitable since USB-C is on iPads now.
Finder.app....yeah probably not happening. They want to keep iOS and macOS separate, and guide you to cloud storage
So will each app be like a window, so you can move them around freely and have multiple apps open at once?
Incoming calls take over your device? You don't just hit home and continue using your device when you need to? Or do you just mean initially? I know certain carriers don't let you use data while on a call but you can still use WiFi if you are on one.
After years of reading and listening the "it just works" mantra, I got an iPad about a year ago and it is easily the worst browser experience I had. Any kind of "interactive" content is a complete hit or miss, here in the forum for example if someone posts a twitter video, or even just a Twitter text with some link I need to pray to god that my iPad will let me open the link / load the video. Same happens in a number of other sites. Just makes no sense. Workaround for me, sometimes, is reloading the page and trying to access the link a few seconds after it loaded, if I wait to long it wont work again. Im tired of "clicking" on a link and the browser zooming on the webpage.
Hope they fix this shit.

Initially. It's annoying at this point especially with the prevalence of spam calls. Personally I don't get many calls but my wife does and I've seen her browsing her iPad or iPhone and a spam call comes in and it just interrupts her since she knows it's spam and declines it. It's 2019. Incoming calls should be an optional notification w/ the standard sound. Or a notification w/ no sound. Or just a sound. Or the way it currently is. Let users customize it the way they want.
Personally I'd leave it the way it is since I rarely get a call and when they do come in it's a family member or a friend and I'd want to speak to them asap anyways.
You sure this is a carrier thing? I thought it was due the fact that it wasn't until 3G networks that simultaneous voice/data were a thing. (i think you couldn't do that on CDMA networks like Sprint and Verizon).
Ever since 3G and LTE this shouldn't be an issue, right?
If I'm not mistaken, you must accept or decline the call before you can resume what you're doing, even if you press home. Kinda lame, as someone who doesn't like talking on the phone 😆
i've seen word crash on every platform under the sun, with people losing data. save your stuff, otherwise you're gamblin
do you have an example of this? i'd like to test and see what it does for me
I really hope this ends up meaning I can tether my camera directly to my iPad and shoot in Lightroom CC. Would be incredible to have that kind of flexibility (and portability) with photos on the go when paired with Photoshop.
System wide dark mode and true iPad multitasking is fantastic. Love my Pro and use it as a defacto laptop but hate how much it feels like a giant iPhone at times, this is a welcome design change.
Also less intrusive volume control is a god send, gets in the way every day when I'm trying to watch MLB At Bat highlights.

Anyone else have an issue adding text to a picture in the current Picture app? (Edit/markup/text/double-tap = can't select add or alter text. Occasionally the double tap will make a cursor blink for a nanasecond but then it goes away and the text is unchangeable.)
Wondering if the error is between the keyboard and the chair as they say, or a known issue with pic edit right now

Please - I might even buy your overpriced Smart Keyboard. Although i'd Prefer your even more expensive Smart Keyboard and trackpad cover..
If I could have a MS Surface Pro-like type cover with an Apple quality trackpad for use on an iPad along with proper file system access then an iPad Pro could replace my Macbook.
