Are they letting you guys keep your screens on yet? Or is that something that’s being saved for 19? Probably not a big deal for most, but an always on display for time, calendar, and alerts without having to do anything to active my phone is clutch for me. When I see other peoples phones with blank black screens they look so dead.
Fucking weird comment
Just use the little arrows next time mate.
Fucking weird comment
im stealing this for the next rational and highly upvoted comment i see
They have actually introduced AOD, but only from the iPhone 15.
Their reasoning for not backporting the feature (unless phone is charging) is that the older models don’t have LTPO displays that go down to the 1hz they do in AOD on the 15. A stupid reason imo.
Huh? Always on display has been around in iOS for years. Since 2022 with the 14.
That’s like…one, maybe two years
As compared with Android, which is like…decades
Wouldn’t this drain your battery and cause burn-in on your screen?
It does take more battery than just a blank screen, but it is kept extremely dim and automatically changes placement on the screen every so often so it doesn’t burn in. Also, if it doesn’t detect light (like if it were in your pocket) it turns off. I havent done the math, but i think playing a game on your phone for like 30 minutes would probably drain the battery a similar amount to a whole day if this display
Minimal / worth it / non impactful assuming you charge nightly anyway and no.
I love how concise your answer is
It’s been around since 2022. Though I actually turned mine mostly off besides the clock because it’s just unnecessary and distracting the majority of the time. And super unhealthy.
Now do jxl support
haha apple bad amirite
I should really switch to Android
This is what my homescreen looks like and apple’s struggling with placement of icons?
What sort of gameboy is this?
Ahhhh config please…
It’s not klwp. I made it in total launcher.
Is there some form of backup thing to export config?
Gimmi those viruses!
Yeah because oc is going to find some exploit from the config file, inject it to the backup and then send it to some random guy on internet
If you look at his instructions, he says “Take general internet safety precautions and don’t open zip files from strangers without checking.”. I was making a joke that IDC and I want the theme. I can see why that didn’t really come through if you didn’t actually click his link, given the short nature of my reply.
Ah gotcha. I tought I missed something😂
Beautiful homescreen from a beautiful place
You’ve taken “home screen as self expression” to a new level
level 70and I am here for it.Holy fuck why is that so beautiful. You’ve unlocked something in me I didn’t know was there and must pursue now.
Yeah boiii! Look what I’ve got going on! These aren’t just squares. They’re cubes that rotate!! It’s like the compiz dream in my hand!
that is 🔥 ! how though?
Total launcher. Had to design whole thing though. The theme is based on nier: automata game ui.
Plz share!
I immediately recognised the game UI - well done!
Sauce?
lovely homescreen. thanks for sharing!
This looks cool, what are you using?
Total launcher.
nice rice bro
I rarely comment but had to stop here to say, nice home screen.
unixporn material.
I personally don’t need that feature to be honest…
the point is that people should have the option even if you personally don’t need it
Android: “Check out all these options. You can customise it just as you’d like”
Apple: “Check it out! This is the best user interface ever. No need for customisation”
You personally don’t need a phone either.
Fuckin’ bollocks.
This was not allowed before. Until just recently, the technology didn’t exist to place icons anywhere in the grid. They would automatically smoosh up into orderly rows starting at the top-left with no gaps between icons. Apple is continuing to develop cutting edge innovation, though, and now you will be able to leave entire rows and columns empty, or any specific icon space you choose!
Seems like a trivial programming task even my junior noob ass can handle.
Actually it’s because apps aren’t neutrally buoyant in the OS, they naturally float to the top
No wonder it took so long, must’ve been a nightmare to get every different app neutral, what with their differing weights.
They had to invent whole new algorithms to he able to give the binaries of all apps the exact same Hamming weight
Dear god, someone needs to make a physics based home screen. It would be utter hell. When you move, it all gets tossed around.
Particle simulation home screen
There’s probably a live wallpaper for that.
I mean apps icons that are rigid bodies that are simulated
Oh oh. Gotcha. Imagine not being able to make an emergency phone call until it settled down.
Auto rotate works on all angles…
Widgets are now 3d boxes and you have to tilt your phone down and flip it until they face you.
Well damn, guess I’ll switch over now.
That was the last thing holding you back? No criticism, just genuinely curious.
I am extremely confident it was joke
In retrospect, you’re definitely right lol
As an iPhone bitch, I still found it funny hahaha
Where is the clip at the bottom from?

…I thought we all just stopped having apps the Home Screen when we could put them in the library and unclutter everything.
Yeah I have almost no apps on my Home Screen. Just one page of widgets, and 3 pinned to the bottom.
Otherwise if I want an app I just use spotlight. Quick swipe down and the first letter or 2 of any app and I’m in. I almost never touch the App Library.
This prob comes from using spotlight so much on Mac as well though.
lol yeah I literally use Spotlight for everything, it’s way faster the majority of the time.
You’ve just moved the same problem somewhere else if you do that.
I run a “main” home screen with Clock, Calendar, Weather and Alerts, then the next one is apps I commonly use, separated into folders, tools, photography, entertainment, comms, MFA, and then the next screen is my email.
That’s what I do. My home screen only has the time and weather on it. The next two screens have folders.
Thank you, I thought I was nuts for a minute.
I mean you still could be. I’m not a professional.
I don’t get it, I’m on iOS 17 and can move them around? I came from a pixel and I was surprised that you could. And you can also stack widgets which is nice
Can you leave a space in between two icons though
The gap/spaced rows are impossible with current technology
They researched it for 3 years
You are greatly underestimate their efforts. They researched it for 30 years by 30 thousands economists.
Is it about maybe allowing blank space between apps?
Believe it or not: Straight to jailbreak.
There is a tweak, which I don’t recall even having on Android, that lets you select tons of apps and move them around, you know, like you could in a desktop environment… I wonder how much time will take to have that.
(Probably some 3rd party launchers or Android skins allow this, but I can’t do it with Pixel Launcher).
I haven’t seen that in an Android launcher, but there’s nothing stopping it from being implemented. I’ve even seen Windows Mobile inspired launchers with similar widgets and menus on Android
Xiaomi had that last I tried it years ago
Counterpoint: green bubbles.
Oh you mean that other completely artificial limitation that Apple insists on having in their os?
But they’re green, I don’t know how that can be changed.
Oh, it was sarcasm all along.
What is sarcasm?
counter counterpoint: color-coded bubbles for contacts and group chats
That would help me not accidentally sext my mother again.
She’s kinky af tho. 🥵
Looking at iOS innovations going in android direction, they gonna make iphone with green bubbles someday and present it as amazing innovation, bet they even make you pay for subscription to make your bubbles green
A part of Apple’s Going Green initiative, for $99.99 weekly you can show everyone how green you are.
Another mother earth promo video incoming
Counter counterpoint: no one cares what color the bubbles are, except the person reading em. Sounds like an iOS problem 😉
But the green ones aren’t ripe yet.
Might want to mark this as sarcasm
What is sarcasm?
Never go /s. Let the rubes be confuddled. They deserve it.
I thought this shit was a meme till I started texting someone yesterday to arrange a date, she said “you don’t have iPhone?”…
Sounds like she saved you a lot of trouble, lol
yikes, majority of the world uses android
Do people not realize how vain and materialistic that makes them sound? As if iPhone ownership is the pinnacle of wealth or whatever
Elliot Rodger vibes
I knew a pretty well off dude who used a flip-phone…in 2018. If he wanted to do computer-type stuff, he just used a computer.
Ngl that’s kinda badass
No because the people they talk to who could tell them all have iphones too
I don’t text until we’ve had sex the first time as a rule, I show them my tiny penis and while they’re in shock I let them know about my android too.
Hahahaha brilliant
To be fair, as both an iOS and Android user, the way android moves icons around drives me crazy , I much prefer the iOS “shift everything down” approach
I see what you mean, and this could be easily fixable with a toggle.
As an exclusively Android user, I couldn’t agree more
Get a new launcher in your life!
Isn’t that launcher dependent?
Not sure, I have a Pixel and use the stock everything
Glad I’m on iPhone where I don’t have to worry about “launchers” and everything works out of the box.
Happy because no choice. Android works pretty well with default one but lauchers helps to overthrow what oem gives
Ignorance. The mark of a true apple cult follower.
You’re talking to a bunch of geeks. There’s nothing wrong with the default pixel launcher. I used it for years. Most of these people have a butt ugly home screen and all kinds of ridiculous customizations that no one else has time for.
I cannot refute any of this.
Androids work out of the box too. The point is if you don’t like the way it works you can find alternatives. If you like stock iPhone that’s fine but I find it claustrophobic.
Ugh, I would not even use Android if I could not root…
That’s my favorite too but every since they were sold* I’m hesitant to recommend them. I’m too accustomed to swiping up/down on icons for shortcuts.
Removed by mod
So you just run the older version?
Removed by mod
Well… There’s yer problem
This meme would be 1000% better with sound lol
