Waiting for the day when I can set my own Search Engine in Safari, set Wifi hotspot as default (it defaults to USB / bluetooth), and use iPhone hotspot to update my iPad (iPad refuses to download updates when connected to iPhone hotspot even when Low-Data mode is disabled).

Wdym? I have hotspot enabled on my iPhone, and it's always shows up on my laptop as wifi to connect to whenever I'm away from home/work/coffeeshop wifi that I've previously connected to.

#13"Users can now set separate volume levels for alarms, timers, alerts, and system sounds. Users will need to navigate to Settings > Sounds & Haptics, turn off the “Match Ringtone Volume” toggle, and adjust sliders manually." The biggest new feature if you ask me!!! I'm gonna tell my wife, she's gonna be so happy with a new feature for once! Also this: "The emoji keyboard has a small scroll bar at the bottom." For some…
One of the features I personally do not like. That was/is one of the nicest things on iOS IMHO - set volume more silent and it means more silent, not "only in these 3 out of 27 cases".
It would of course be very easy to add 1 slider to rule them all.
But in general it is very annoying that your ears will bleed when your morning alarm goes off (and then I mean on) if you want to hear your texts come in during the day. That is, if you don’t use the “health based” alarm. You know, the one you can’t set for 6;00 (am) anymore after 0:00 (is that 12 am? I mean midnight, Boy what a language you have ;)

It requires you to always keep your Wifi radios on. What I meant was that the hotspot option should toggle Wifi radios when needed (and not always). This is possible through Shortcuts but is a bit finnicky.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
Features are fun but agree. seriously fix all the bugs and optimize performance But that’s not what gets promotions or where money is allocated.
We’ll have to see how it shakes out in reality, but this was actually highlighted in their keynote. In one of their slides they had a massive list of small tweaks, performance improvements, etc. So I’m hoping that they’ve actually taken the time to do it right.
I can only hope the Ai they are using fixes more bugs than it creates
