Our mobile phones and computers can do things today that we didn't even think about a few years ago. But is there really anything to look forward to, at least on the software side? Looking back, there really was room for improvement, and it still is. 

Android learned from iOS, iOS learned from Android, and there are extensions from phone manufacturers who also come up with something that has the potential to catch on with users. But if we focus specifically on iOS for now, is there really anything we're really missing? For myself, I can name such a trifle as better volume control with respect to the software manager that has been present on Android for many years. But what more could you want?

Yes, the Control Center has its quirks, the Camera doesn't offer full manual input, the notifications are wild rather than clear, but none of it is a major game-changing feature. After all, when I go through the news of iOS 17, there is nothing that really appeals more - neither customizable phone calls, nor Quiet mode, the interactive widgets were perhaps the most pleasing, and we will see what the Diary application will bring.

iOS 16 mainly brought the ability to customize the lock screen, iOS 15 Focus, iOS 14 App Library, iOS 13 Dark Mode, iOS 12 Screen Time, iOS 11 redesigned Control Center, which has since looked as we know it today. Of course, all systems had many other but rather minor innovations. However, those whose memory goes back even further remember the major redesign brought by iOS 7. Now it is being improved slowly, decently, and even so many mention how iOS is unnecessarily bloated with unnecessary features.

What can we look forward to? 

Apple is actively working on iOS 18 and various information about it is already leaking. He came with them Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, which claims the system to be the biggest iOS update in years. Although it does not name any function, there should be a redesign, an improvement in performance, and an increase in security. But perhaps the most fundamental could be the integration of generative artificial intelligence.

Apple is said to be working on it, and we should know more about it next year. This, of course, at WWDC, which will be held in June. But the problem here is that many people don't know what they should even do with AI on their phone. Samsung, which plans to deploy its AI called Gauss in the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024, may encounter it at the beginning. A lot will depend on how it presents it. So is there anything to look forward to? Absolutely, but at the same time, passions need to be tamed, because most likely we will have bad luck with the Czech language, both at Samsung and at Apple.
