Re: IOS 6: Higher Hanging Fruit
#32My wish is that Apple adds paid upgrades for apps in the app store. I'm now close to releasing a major upgrade for an iPhone app, but these upgrades aren't going to be sustainable for me without paid upgrades (I don't want the new features to be IAP features) In the long run, this will also benefit customers because paid-upgrades will help developers add more features to the app. Users who want the new features can p…
Paid upgrades make no sense with IAP.
That would work well for enable/disable type of unlocking through IAP (eg: extra levels in a game), but how would it work if the whole app were overhauled? How would you determine who is re-downloading version 1 vs. who just purchased and should get version 2?

Disagree wholeheartedly. Read this post to see why: http://blog.wilshipley.com/2012/03/mac-app-store-needs-paid-...

I think it's a great idea.
As a caveat to this I'd also like to see support added for hosting multiple versions of an app on the store at any given time.

#35There is no way that Apple is going to add any sort of direct file access into iOS 6. This would completely undermine the work that they have done to get rid of the metaphor. That said, there is certainly a problem with how files interact with iOS, mainly when it comes to email. Bridging the gap between the non-mobile file world and the pseudo-fileless iOS is going to be tricky.
Usually, if I want to share pictures or whatever, I am in the application that makes it easiest to navigate or search the content I want to send. Then I tap the share button. In fact I do a similar thing in Mac OSX. The iOS email client has only annoyed me a few times.
What they need is something like Intents on Android or maybe something like Services on Mac OS X.

When you start a search it should search the server as well, it doesn't just search the emails it has stored locally. I have over 15 GB's of email and the iPhone uses server side searching and finds emails back to 2002 with ease. And I am pretty damn sure those are not local on the device.

I can't believe I was about to type in a response to this. How do I delete a HN account?

#38My biggest beef is a low hanging fruit issue. I can't get any reliable voice dialing recognition (I'm using Voice Control but I haven't had any better luck with Siri on my wife's phone) - it would be nice if you could limit voice dialing to your favorite contacts as opposed to your entire address book.
You can add nicknames for your contacts which will be used by Siri.
I've never had Siri dial the wrong number when I have asked the device to call someone...

#39Major flaw on all platforms: switching apps is cumbersome and slow
We need ALT TAB on phones

A paid upgrade would also signify a breaking point for further free upgrades for any user that doesn't buy the upgrade. It's not really meant to work that way.
