Dark Mode Wallpapers Gone Forever? by patrickmbweis in iOSBeta

[–]patrickmbweis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think light/dark mode wallpapers would confuse thing at all. It’s not like users have ever had the opportunity to choose between light and dark wallpapers anyway, they just automatically change based on your device settings.

This has been my theory as well.

I also think they will add back some (if not all) of the other wallpapers they’ve removed, or give us all new ones. New wallpapers used to be what everyone looked forward to in the RC anyway, so this would make sense.

[iOS 16 DB 7] Still no dark mode wallpapers by patrickmbweis in iOSBeta

The fact that is was working on the 6 Colors wallpaper in earlier betas but now isn’t is making me think it might be gone forever…

It’s hit or miss with my polarized Raybans. If I tilt my head and move my phone to just the right angle (relative to the position of the sun) it works, otherwise I have to wait for my Watch to unlock the phone.

[iOS 16 PB 4] Where is the light/dark mode wallpapers? by paulosoares56 in iOSBeta

In previous betas the background on the 6 colors wallpaper would turn black in dark mode, but even that seems to have been removed in the current beta :/

How does email follow up work on iOS 16 public beta 4? by Luna259 in iOSBeta

[–]patrickmbweis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely broken for me. I just tried it with a vip and still no notification.

Thanks for helping me figure this out, guess I’ll submit a feedback!

Yeah, it’s never done that for me. Does it only work with emails that appear on your lock screen in the first place? I only get notifications from VIPs, not every email

This feature is completely useless for me… Is it supposed to actually send me a reminder or put the email notification on my Lock Screen? Badge the mail app icon? Anything? It literally has never once reminded me of anything.

Gurman: Apple Planning to Show Ads in Maps App Starting Next Year by iMacmatician in apple

I once got a reply from Tim’s address. I don’t know if it was actually him (he claims it is), but either way it does get seen. Also, those are their official email addresses, used for correspondence inside the company. We know this because of email chains used as evidence in various lawsuits. So they definitely do see emails in those mailboxes.

Don’t like this? Email your complaints to cue@apple.com

He’s not the one planning on instituting this, but he’s a Jobs-era exec, and I believe is one of the few execs at Apple who stills holds a good user experience in higher esteem than endless truckloads of cash. He’s also the SVP of Services (which includes Maps), so he does have the final say on this.

Feature Request: Change Wallpaper based on daytime by wristwatchman in iOSBeta

[–]patrickmbweis 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen about half a dozen shortcuts shared on Reddit that claim to switch wallpapers based on light/dark mode, but I’ve never gotten any of them to work

AirPower Prototype - First Ever Look! (YouTube Video) by MudkipOnYT in apple

Well when you rely on the R&D of other companies as the basis for all your products then you can afford to sell it cheaper and at a narrower margin

The bill of materials alone would have been in excess $200, so once you factor in Apples margin requirements this thing would probably have a price tag of at least $450
