WWDC 2014 Wish List

iOS 8:

  • Conference calling for FaceTime Audio (more than two people)
  • Separate DND schedule for weekend (vs. weekdays)
  • Offline Apple Maps
  • Which apps are using the most battery power?
  • Inter-app communication (almost any solution would be better than the current state of affairs)
  • Let me see more than 9 icons at a time in a folder (on iPad)
  • Fix lock screen passcode entry. If I tap the digits too quickly, it misses some. Regression since iOS 7.0
  • UISafariViewController
  • UMA/GAN, i.e., Wi-Fi calling (on supporting carriers, e.g. T-Mobile)
  • Let me set DuckDuckGo as my default search in Safari
  • Get rid of Newsstand
  • Do something about push notification spam
  • Do something about the game IAP plague
  • And finally: finish what was left unfinished.

OS X:

  • Just don’t totally ruin it, please. OS X has got a good thing going here. Be careful with those low-contrast pastels and that unreadable text…

Apple TV:

  • Anything. Anything at all. (Besides more unwanted icons cluttering up my home screen.)
  • Crash less?
