iOS Feature Rant: Widgets/Short Cut Keys

[Killuminati1773]

its not long -_- maybe for you fat people

[jamaic1aboy2]

Nice video Adrian!

[thinkpadx60]

i dont think apple will go down that path. your asking for power user features which is where android scores a big plus. Also looking at germany and australia going against apple in favour of samsung.... its a beginning of something new... shows that the rest of the market is as innovative as apple and are able to deliver equivalent products at a lower price point.

[Komighty1]

Thats why android has those quicker access things that you would LOVE.

I've been an iPhone owner since the beginning.. 2 months ago I switched to Android via a Galaxy S2. I have to be completely honest with you...... I'm MUCH happier now.... Widgets, customization, large screen(makes a huge difference especially with gaming), AND a removable battery, which I use a top-notch 1800mAh battery I ordered from Hong Kong(same size as the stock battery).... I am now an Android.

Apple is forcing me to jailbreak because they can't add something SBsettings.

I want bluetooth file transfer and a propper file browser before they even start thinking about improving the UI! That's the problem with some of these "updates", they focus more on how pretty it is than how many features it doesn't have that every other phone does.

Later it's on and off but still u still have to insert a password no matter what and if u leave your wifi on the iPhone would automatically connect

[1kkraj]

In wifi if you connect to a new network u have to put in a knew password so it's same if u have a widget or not

[1kkraj]

When it comes good but wait now

[1kkraj]

Omg why are u moaning so much it's not that long and it's simple please shut up about it

[DRBUK]

@1kkraj it is long, you clearly have more time and patience lol and easy on the language

[HepTiCzClan]

@1kkraj dont diss DRBUK

[abobeck]

I think theyIf you download the app Quickpick you can get them in notification center and it doesn't open another tab in Safari.

But yes, I still agree that Apple needs to include this by default. 

[M4dMo77o]

Isn't Apple getting its knuckles slapped by Android for that drop down menu ?

[amjid300]

Patience. They will definitely be coming.

[muk546]

ios 5 untethered jailbreak is coming soon can't wait

[alarm991]

[alarm991]

[stringer630]

Three words: First World Problems.

[jin37uk]

They need to overhall the UI in iOS 6... I got bored of the current implementation in 2009

[mastersirus1985]

Sadly those App Safari Shortcuts will be killed with the next iOS Update

[DRBUK]

@mastersirus1985 ye i heard about that

[dontwalkhand]

The reason? You're supposed to leave them all on, I've noticed that the battery life is negligible anyways leaving them on vs. turning them off and on repeatedly.

[ThomasRojan]

I don't think Apple will ever have shortcuts to Wi-Fi in the notification bar. They don't want you to worry about that. And the majority of the users don't. Apple is good with Wi-Fi since it turns off when your not using the phone. But the only way I think they would do this is like you said through Siri.

[TheAppleMicrosoft]

how did you get the personal hotspot option under the wifi option?

Thanks for the great vids!

[DRBUK]

@TheAppleMicrosoft was always there, personal hotspot comes as part of the tmobile iPhone contact in the UK, with other carriers you have to get it separately as a paid option

[DRBUK]

@TheAppleMicrosoft and i think only new contracts will allow for hotspot with no extra data plan

[TheAppleMicrosoft]

@DRBUK okay, thanks

[dontwalkhand]

@TheAppleMicrosoft In the United States, if you have a Personal Hotspot plan, and you set it all up, that will show up. On unlocked iPhones (in the US or anywhere else), enter a valid APN for your personal hotspot plan and it will show up. On UK iPhones, they just show up

[411M3D]

@TheAppleMicrosoft You have to be on the new contract to be able to get the personal hotspot feature. I have the same problem as I'm still on the old contract so I can't use the personal hotspot feature. Hope this helps. :)

[iJonnny]

i always get frustrated to go into settings just to change the brightness up and down..i thought siri could do all those things already

[akmalrosli]

Yeah, I agree with you. Widget on NC, is gonna be great! Going though the settings and all, is such a pain in the ass.

comment 2!

[renegade8164]

We need the guy Jan-Michael Cart to make some design changes in iOS interface, like some better kind of widgets... then It's great :)

[silverstreak34]

Woah... where's the rest of the video? It's missing like 8 minutes ;P jk Great vid!
