New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

(marshmallow up, not 4.2 or whatever)

everything in iTunes now looks like this http://5883-presscdn-0-37.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/mtd375x360nsQ290dG9uIENhbmR5ffffff.u1.jpeg

wasn't aware that Samsung was running a bastardized version of Android but lol the name TouchWiz perfectly encapsulates how junky and cut-rate it feels.

changing swipe up for camera to swipe right for camera sucks

otm

change is fine but so much of ios10 feels like change for the sake of change

your muscle memory will still swipe and you end up on the notifications screen

doesn't happen on my 5. if i swipe in the traditional way then "press home to unlock" just bounces back mockingly

seems odd that people with squidgy/mushy home buttons (i.e. people still using their 5) would now be asked to press the home button many, many more times a day but i suppose that's the goal, to hasten this beloved object's demise :/

so you're saying I shouldnt update on a 6? i'm debating

Exactly. As I mentioned earlier in the week, there is absolutely no need. Download the new iOS and don't worry about buying anything until next year.

This doesn't happen on my 5s after the update? Still swipe up from the bottom.

There's both. Swipe up to get the control centre, including the camera icon as an option. Swipe left from the lock screen is new and takes you straight to the camera without having to tap on anything else. Very handy for a quick shot.

a few new accessibility features are great: colour blindness modes, reduced white point is now variable. apple totally leads on this stuff.

Generally a great update - but I'm getting confused over swiping and using the home button. Sometimes pressing the home button takes me straight in to the main screen, but at other times after pressing the home button I then need to tap in my pass code.

I'm also finding the direction of swiping needed confusing so far. Maybe I'll get used to it.

If you've got TouchID enabled then you should only have to enter your passcode in this situation when the phone restarts from power down, or when it fails to recognise your print a few times. ie no change in this regard from iOS 9.

not new, in ios9 there was a camera icon at bottom right that you could swipe up to get to camera

Yes, I'm saying the swipe left direct to camera is new. Swipe up to get camera icon was there before.

Maybe you're talking about the fact that if you're playing music and swipe up as before, you have to swipe right to get to the camera icon as the Control Centre is now split into two screens. That is a little annoying, but as I say, from a locked screen you can now avoid the Control Centre-> camera icon altogether, by just swiping left. This does mean that it can be quicker to get to the camera from a locked screen than an active one, which is a bit crazy I guess.

no, in ios9 you could swipe up from the bottom right corner of the lock screen to go directly to the camera, without opening the control center

Wow, I never discovered that.

you people all sound crazy

The proliferation of undiscoverable interactions is the worst thing about iOS imo

i think its great, takes about 20 minutes of menial searching/reading to figure them all out and in general they are all good. i too will miss the swipe up from the bottom for the camera, tho.

IT is disgusting savagery that iMessage message styles are disabled if you have "reduce motion" turned on. But if you turn it off to see them, you have to put up with those bullshit 1-second swoopy-app homescreen animatinos and all the rest of the junk

oh wow did not know that! other than not being able to see some of the things and wondering wtf was going on

that is disgusting

what are iMessage styles? i've had reduced motion turned on ever since i could walk

same here.

imo file a complaint on that. "reduce motion" was implemented in a really shortcut way, I am pretty sure they just turned off a subset of quartz effects in the OS and didn't disable particular things

You can send messages with laser beams and fireworks and stuff now. Hold down on the send button to see. (Maybe needs a 6 or better)

btw iOS 10 works really well on my iPhone 6!

spent some time yesterday deleting all the apps I never use, going to take the gamble of restoring my backup to my new phone later today now that I've minimized the amount of crap it'll need to download

might even remember to authorize google authenticator on the new phone instead of fucking up and having to dig out my backup codes like i always do

Ha, I'm such an idiot. Looking at my wife's iOS 9 phone now, I can see I must have swiped up directly to camera a million times, but something about the Apple release reality-distortion field made me feel like swipe left to camera was a new feature, rather than just a moved one. Maybe the fact there used to a camera icon there in the bottom right made me feel like I was clicking on it first to get to the camera. Right, that's enough crazy for now.

do people still line up for iphones in the usa?

gonna go to the apple store sometime this evening and check if they have iphone 7's

yup

hm might give them a ring before going then

Having that turned off with "reduce motion" sounds like a bonus.

How's the "raise to wake" thing working out? I mostly like touch ID but it drives me nuts when I just want to look at the lock screen/control center/notifications/quick camera and I end up unlocking because I didn't contort my thumb enough to just hit the button with my nail. I try not to use the wake button on the side since I almost invariably end up changing the volume at the same time.

Raise to wake is brilliant. Can see how it's a total pain on the older devices but it works a treat on iPhone.

Still haven't reliably figured out how to interact with notifications though. The old swipe method was great, this new "sometimes force touch sometimes pull" thing is bloody stupid

still out for delivery, c'mon fedex, get w/the program

so i just got off the phone with apple and my local apple store

the no carrier/unlocked iphone 7 will not be available til another 6 months or so

i have to buy a phone tied to a carrier -- if this is the case, i'll just buy it online for tmobile and if i switch to verizon i'll just resell it and buy a verizon iphone 7. having to do this sucks though

6 months would be a break in tradition

I'm also counting on that scenario

Seems unlikely that a random Apple rep and even moreso a bumblefuck carrier rep would be privy to that info as there's been zero news about that to this point

that's very possible but what is your solution

Upgrading to a Plus in a couple hours. Let's hope this works...

We just have to be patient grasshoppers

the core accessibility requirement addressed by "reduce motion" is probably the same core accessibility requirement addressed by removing the swoopy homescreen animations (apple is not explicit about the category of users who benefit from "reduce motion" afaict). i haven't seen the new imessage effects because i have no friends only one person i know uses it instead of telegram/whatsapp/wechat/vanilla sms, but it seems that the imessage swoopiness would be equally disruptive to the springboard.app swoopiness purely in accessibility terms.

really the problem is that apple won't give us a simple "don't swoopy the homescreen" setting that addresses personal taste. loads of friends people i know found "reduce motion" on day one and left it switched on.

not available on the iphone 6. planned obsolescence?

also not on my iphone 6; in fact notification functions i had in ios 9 seem to have been taken away. did apple shuffle it into the 3d touch realm to leave some of us feeling like we need new hardware? tap-and-hold does nothing and should just do this.

previous late-model exclusives felt necessary (e.g. always-on "hey siri" using battery, visual transparency slowing down old models), but now it just feels like apple's being dickish to sell more phones.

hmm, this says otherwise but it still doesn't work for me

my SE wakes on raise just fine, notification interactions are hurting my brain a bit (I liked swiping to get to the app in context just fine thanks) but I imagine I'll forget it was ever different within three weeks

the se is newer than the iphone 6 which is probably why.

also multilingual typing doesn't work, even though my languages are on the list and i've downloaded the dictionaries. this is the sort of thing that should Just Work.
