The only feature I am looking forward to is “live text” where it lets me simply copy text in images. That can be quite handy.
I specifically dumped android phones because I was sick of Google and Apple still seemed to be the better option.
Edit: Guess I upset the Apple and Google shills ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is there a timeline for the client side scanning?! Or has that plan been dropped for good?! Cause I am not gonna upgrade if these features come at a cost to privacy caused by client side scanning.
All we know right now is that it isn't in iOS 15.
For anyone wondering, this was supposed to be the release where Apple could scan your photos for child abuse. This was delayed for this release: https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-delays-child-abuse-phot...
Did they removed the code? commented it or defaulted it to off for now but the code is there and ready to scan.
Wow, I had no idea they were going to add support for cross-platform Facetime calls with this. If that works well that will definitely replace Zoom for me.
It is better than nothing though. Mostly feels like a late response to Zoom eating Apple's lunch though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Posting on HN is probably more valuable when your feedback is requesting new featureful changes and not just bugs. There are likely quite a few Apple engineers that browse this subreddit which might be able to make an internal push for these changes (eventually).
Freudian slip here, I guess.
I'd still report them through the normal channels. I wouldn't bet on any given Apple employee of the right team to happen to read a specific comment on HN.
Meanwhile, my flagship android phone from 2018, the Samsung Galaxy S9, is stuck on the last version of Android. At least it still gets security updates, some manufacturers don't even go that far.
Apple Maps is so close to being a fantastic app, but is sorely missing “search along route” that Google has. Right now, you can press the “coffee” or “gas” button but there’s no way to say, search for a CVS on the way back home from work. I really wish Apple added this instead of just suggesting searches that might be useful.
