Let’s be clear: what I really and truly wish for the next iteration of macOS is a new found-focus on stability, polish and bug fixes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The next macOS should be a “Snow Leopard” kind of release.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

As Apple’s operating system line has grown from one to at least five — more if you count the HomePod’s audioOS and BridgeOS for Macs with T-series chips — the limitations of scale have begun to show. New versions of iPadOS oscillate between key feature updates to fundamental parts of the system, like multitasking, one year, and tepid improvements the next. iOS is a mature platform and, so, it makes sense for there to be fewer core feature updates, but one wishes the slower development cycle would bring increased stability and refinement; actual results have been mixed. MacOS is the system which feels like it ought to be the closest to some imagined finish line, but it also seems like it is decaying in its most core qualities — I am having problems with windows losing foregrounding or not becoming focused when they should. Also, why are Notifications still like that<\/a>?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

A general theme on speed and reliability at the OS and app level. Especially Mail and Music.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Extensions for 3rd party browsers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Dan Moren<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

For example, one addition I’d really like to see is improvements to iOS’s autocorrect system.<\/p>

[…]<\/p>

Other small improvements that would be nice to have could include breaking the Passwords section of Settings out into its own app, tweaking the way multiple calendars appear in the Calendar app, and allowing more widgets on the lock screen, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

One big nice to have feature I’d like to see in macOS 14 is letting widgets live outside of their little column in Notification Center.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Jack Brewster<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

My iOS 17 feature request is for Safari extensions to work in embedded views.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Francisco Tolmasky<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

All I want out of macOS 14 is for a screenshot naming scheme that results in them being in chronological order when they are sorted alphabetically.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kelly Guimont<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Here’s my dream for WWDC23:<\/p>\n

In macOS 14, when you open a new Mail draft, if you close it within 5 seconds you will not be prompted to save that unaddressed, empty, clearly accidental draft.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
