indeed, every lockscreen looks better than Apple's. an issue too long in remedying, IMO. People shouldn't have to jail-break their iPads to get a decent lock screen.
Exactly, and it's not just the lock-screen either; it's the whole OS.
Whatever though, I gotta get to sleep and only Apple can solve this argument anyways. If they do revamp iOS, I'm sure the exact same people arguing with me in this thread will be calling it revolutionary and saying how needed it was.

either garbaga a master troll fishing for responses or he's a just a hater desperately flailing in the tide of Apple's success.
At any rate, I am completely fine with iOs and its consistency in design. Do you also hate on windows for keeping essentially the same general interface its had for the past 15 years? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
LOL
Really? Modern minimalism is what you see in iOS? I think Windows 8/Windows Phone covers that.
@Friend: I despise Windows, but I'm stuck with it because Apple refuses to make decently priced capable Macs.
NOW SLEEP

While I do agree that iOS is fine for iPad at the moment, there is definitely room to make it much better.
Heh, don't see how me saying that is funny.
And Windows Phone also follows the same style but I'm not a fan of the unnecessary large text and overall layout of the OS. It looks nice but when it comes to practical use it's a bit annoying IMO.
ICS also follows the same style without all the shitty skeumorphic paradigms -- personally, I don't believe skeumorphic digital design is either modern or minimalistic.

This is the problem with starting an announcement thread a week before the announcement. After a few days, people are bitching about how minimalist is minimalist.
In my opinion, part of iOS being so simple to use is due to it's clean, easy to look at UI.
It's few skuemorphic designs are still easy and nice to look at since they still follow the overall main look of iOS (which I again find to be clean and nice).
Battery life and certain apps and jailbreak tweaks that just aren't available on ICS or WP7.5. I'm regretting the decision though :|
Sidenote: During recent years I've gotten into arguments with Apple fanboys on this forum who have claimed that
- copy&paste isn't really needed in the iPhone OS
- multitasking isn't needed in the iPhone OS
- a decent notifications system isn't needed in iOS
- a homescreen revamp isn't needed in iOS

You made a sweeping generalization about Apple/iOS users, and came off as completely dogmatic, yet you want people in this thread to take you seriously?
Preferring one OS or device over another doesn't automatically invalidate a different design philosophy...
Fanboys will be fanboys.
I never felt the bolded. I always felt that those things would help improve iOS especially a new system for notifications.
In terms of the home screen though, I like the way it currently is and I don't feel that it needs to be revamped.
The lock screen could definitely be better though.
Ahh, okay.
and yeah, I plain just don't get these guys sometimes.
@Bgamer: what do you think of the pop-up banners, game center and notification center for iPad?
I like the way they look, but I feel they look much better on the iPhone than the iPad. For lack of a better way for me to put it, the designs perfectly fit the screen of the iPhone where as with the iPad, there's a whole lot of space left over and therefore on the iPad some things look a bit too plain or just not as good as they could look if they used the bigger screen size more effectively.
Overall though (like I said before) I like the look of iOS on the iPad.
Awesome, 32gb iPad 3 here I come!

Can someone explain the connections here? Why are there five connections relating to the panel? Two for the 'digitizer'... two for the 'LCD'... one for the... 'display'... wat.
So I'm clutching at straws, but it seems like there's one too many connections there. So obviously one is for haptic tech right?

So whats the deal, is it going to be a quad core or a faster dual core?
So many conflicting reports

It will probably be the exact same price as the similarly sized iPad 2.
Whatever it is it should be at the very least powerful enough to run all the stuff that is out on the app store today in retina resolution. That is really all people should care about.
So minimum 4x more powerful than the iPad 2?

It would look nicer if the icons on iOS were bigger. Maybe not as big as Windows 8 but a little bigger. There just seems to be a lot of empty space on the iOS screens.
Widgets would be nice. I'm sure they'll do something along those lines in iOS6 or above.

Looking out the window tells you the temperature?
I use an android phone and personally for me I don't use that many widgets but Weather, QuickToggles and Music controls are 3 extremely useful widgets. Widgets of some form in iOS would be good.
Hell the main reason I jailbroke my iPad was to get sbSettings back for Setting Toggles.

Yes, probably, but I thought about this sentence:
I mean 1$ is currently 0,75 and 500$ would be 378 without VAT. 450 could be possible.
err, it gives me a pretty good estimate, yes
ah yes, the fact that i think a weather widget is a waste of time means that i clearly do not think that iOS is in need of any, let alone major improvements
good show

You know I was kinda like you. Before I got an Android phone I didn't really see the point in Widgets. Then I started using them and seen how useful they actually can be for certain tasks.
Widgets make some things easier and more accessible. That can only be a good thing.
what sorts of widgets are there?
MiloFoxburr

Fairly sure there are widgets for almost any task. Wanna Tweet something, theres a widget for that. Facebook, Calender, Weather, Settings, Notes, Music, Stock, RSS Feeds. I could go on.
Now obviously every single one of these tasks can be done on iOS with Applications but what a Widget does is makes it instantly accessible to you. You don't have to load an application to send a Tweet. You don't have load the Weather app to see the Current Temperature and Forecast for the week. You don't have to load Notes to enter a new Note. You don't have to load Settings to Change Brightness, turn on/off wifi, change various volumes etc.
And of course if you don't like Widgets you don't have to use them at all. But having them there and available is a positive.

Performance/remote client stuff aside, was he scrolling through those UI screens with that tiny little bar on the side? Is that the only way to do that? just awful
yeah, some of these are cool
my only proper experience with widgets is the shit in os x and windows vista/7 which i don't think i've ever used
and seeing the weather every time my friend unlocks his android phone even when we're in the middle of the park and we can see that it's a sunny day in the high 20s

Wifi or 3g/Wifi help me GAF
The difference between an android fanboy and an apple fan boy is that the former is never satisfied (which leads to a LOT of griping in relevant threads), while the latter is overly complacent (which leads to a LOT of defensiveness in relevant threads).
Of course, if you aren't a fanboy, the above doesn't apply.

What if you just want a dope-looking phone that doesnt' annoy you or make you hate yourself when you try to do something

I said the phone should look good.
Considering a spec bump in the gpu to accommodate, none.
