I thought we’d seen it all when they finally let people change the default notification sound in iOS 17!
I'm sorry, I'm browsing from /all. You don't actually mean they only started allowing notification sound customization 17 versions into their OS, right? You're making a joke?
Because holy hell, what basic functionality that should have been included over a decade ago.
You've always been able to change it for built in applications (messages, mail, phone, etc.). I assume the above poster was joking? Or maybe there's some nuanced feature they added around it recently.
You could only change certain applications, if they allowed it. But the general, default notification sound was decided by Apple and couldn’t be changed until 17.2.
You could change the defaults for a number of things, but not the miscellaneous stuff. The “default” category is new.
It’s really weird, because Apple has been selling tones forever, and they had a tone selection component already. It’s like someone just never prioritized the day of work in their jira backlog.

Every modern release of iOS is more like Android, and every modern release of Android is more like iOS. Welcome to convergent evolution.
By 2030, the only major difference between Android and iOS will be that, when you hit the bottom of a scrolling page, one will be a little bouncy and the other will be a little stretchy.
People will still fight over which OS is the best.
Bullshit, by 2030 everything will be doomscrollable thanks to generative text AI. Our marketing department has done some research and concluded that our customers will stop using their device if they hit the bottom.
Personally I like the bounce, the stretch on my android always felt anticlimactic
Yeah, I assume the Android stretch is because Apple might throw a legal hissy fit if they directly cloned iOS’s “rubber banding.” It was one of the early R&D interaction models that was key to Jobs green lighting the iPhone.

How courageously innovative. I bet their implementation will be extremely polished because they waited so long. /s
Only took them 18 major version releases. Maybe one day we'll get to choose an alarm snooze timer than isn't 9 minutes something.

Welcome to apple_enthusiast, where most of the comments seem to come from people that haven’t had iOS as a daily driver since the iPhone 3 or 4.
My gf has an iPhone 14 which I bought for her. I've had to use it several times and I hate the damn thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What part? Genuinely curious as I enjoy both. Only thing I actively despise is the inability to natively use manual focus
For me it’s that and the lack of a default native keyboard with a number line!
The number line is very cool. I do miss that, as well as long-pressing any key to get the character located "behind" it.

Exactly. Most of the comments here are not from people daily driving these experiences.
I feel like most people here are just sliding in from c/all

LOL
How will Apple users now manage with so many decisions to make??
So now they can do something that nearly every Android home screen installable can do.

Wow, I'm glad Apple engineers finally figured out how to invent this feature. I can't wait to be told at a keynote how bold, innovative, and courageous this is.
Oooh wow will they let you change your brightness and font too?
I'll believe it when i see it
iOS lookin more like Android with each release.
And as a developer android is looking more and more like iOS as it becomes more restricted on what you can do.
The two are converging
