Are they letting you guys keep your screens on yet? Or is that something that's being saved for 19? Probably not a big deal for most, but an always on display for time, calendar, and alerts without having to do anything to active my phone is clutch for me. When I see other peoples phones with blank black screens they look so dead.

They have actually introduced AOD, but only from the iPhone 15.

Their reasoning for not backporting the feature (unless phone is charging) is that the older models don't have LTPO displays that go down to the 1hz they do in AOD on the 15. A stupid reason imo.

RIP in peace Windows Phone 10. Still the best home screen setup ever.

Say what you will about Microsoft, lemmys, but Windows Phone 10 had great performance and battery life. It's a shame that it was nuked because MS couldn't bring themselves to go all the way on the Android bridge.

They also messed up Nokia before killing Windows Phone. Nokia's Symbian used to be a serious competition to android.

Symbian was a fantastic OS, but it never competed with Android in any meaningful way. Nokia was already circling the drain when Microsoft bought them and first Windows phones (Lumias) were fucking awesome. And then fucking moron Nadella killed Windows Phone.

Nokia's Symbian was shit and you're the only person I've ever heard saying anything positive about it. To be a serious competitor to Android or IOS you need to have as much apps on the store and Symbian had very few.

Apple fan boi here.

I also love to shit on Apple.

Some of the big reveals are so dumb. They just give things a different name to blow your mind.

“Omg! They invited spatial computing!!!”

Believe it or not: Straight to jailbreak.

There is a tweak, which I don't recall even having on Android, that lets you select tons of apps and move them around, you know, like you could in a desktop environment... I wonder how much time will take to have that.

(Probably some 3rd party launchers or Android skins allow this, but I can't do it with Pixel Launcher).

Well this is good news. I never owned an Apple product until my recent purchase of an iPad Mini.

I was nervous about switching from an Android tablet, but everything went great until I tried to move my home screen icons where I wanted them, and resize a weather widget the way I wanted it. Neither worked, and I had to laugh at how ridiculous it was.

I'm very much looking forward to version 18 now.

...I thought we all just stopped having apps the Home Screen when we could put them in the library and unclutter everything.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what I do. My home screen only has the time and weather on it. The next two screens have folders.

[–] hibsen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you, I thought I was nuts for a minute.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I mean you still could be. I'm not a professional.
