The rumor is for 12. If it's true, then it sounds like the release date for the OS won't change, but teams don't have to be pressured into making the point release launch and can push their releases.

Here’s the article that covers the planning ahead quote:Instead of keeping engineers on a relentless annual schedule and cramming features into a single update, Apple will start focusing on the next two years of updates for its iPhone and iPad operating system, according to people familiar with the change. The company will continue to update its software annually, but internally engineers will have more discretion to push back features that aren't as polished to the following year. Articles also touches on a few other things like the iPad getting true multitasking next year and starting to bridge/have apps that run on both iOS and macOS (article mentions Home for smart homes)

Counter point to all the Siri pronunciation chat: a few years ago, the Google Maps voice directions lady would pronounce the name of the city of Pueblo, Colorado, as “pube-lo”. And it was frickin hilarious every time she’d say it.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:There's 2 kinds of stars: 1) the star that shows up when you play a radio station and 2) the 5-star ratings. I think you said it yourself. Consolidation can't happen because as soon as it does, people invested in the old way complain. It is a shame the Love/Don't Like hearts are an extra tap away though, since it's kind of key to the whole recommendation engine thing.

Anyone else having issues on their iPhones where the “swipe down for search bar” feature doesn’t always search for your whole search string? Like for instance I’ll type in “restaurants that have fire side seating” and it’ll only search for “ restaurants th”. It’s not super frequent, but frequent enough to be annoying. Happens to both mine and my wife’s 8.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Ok let’s break it down: Okay that makes sense and all but what is the difference between The radio station that is curated via stars that plays when I say “hey Siri play some music” And The playlists that appear at the top of “For You” in the Music app, that are apparently curated via hearts? I mean, let’s start with radio station vs playlist. Are these not different names for the same things: a list of songs to play? I’m not talking about Beats 1 or anything with an actual host, ie a real radio station, but the one that plays when I say “hey Siri play some music.” Im just really bad at finding music and branching out. I just want Siri to play me music that I like, including trying new music that I may or may not like, and I want to be able to mark songs I like to get Siri to get to know my tastes better. How can I get that? e: Okay I think I get it now. I think I just don’t understand the “For You” section. All the stuff that shows up there is customized via hearts? It’s showing me a section called Wednesday’s Playlists for example, and a playlist called Alternative Hits: 2007. Is the entire playlist customized (as in your version of Alternative Hits: 2007 is gonna have different songs than mine) or is just what playlists show up customized (as in you don’t like Alternative Hits so this playlist doesn’t show up at all)? I think my ideal use case would be to say “hey Siri play some music” to hear music that she curates for me, and I want to say “hey Siri I like this song” to get her to curate more music in that direction, and I want these “likes” to also affect both the playlists that show up in For You and also the songs within those playlists (if it does that). Unfortunately saying “hey Siri i like this song” to a song that she plays from “hey Siri play some music” doesn’t heart the song, only stars it

I think the only fully curated and algorithm created playlists are the New Music, Chill, and Favorites. The others are previously existing. If you go to the Browse section you can go view all the playlists (broken down by mood, genre, etc...).  What I’ll do occasionally is load up one of the genre radios (under radio stations or genre in Browse). These are the pre-made stations, so no star systems but I do heart/dislike stuff as it comes through. Since I’ve been doing that my FY sections been pretty drat on point.

The peek/pop gestures in Music are so awful. The amount of times I've tried to add a song to a playlist only for it to start playing that track and thus totally wiping the playlist I've been working on. Garbage!

Boris Galerkin posted:just what playlists show up customized (as in you don’t like Alternative Hits so this playlist doesn’t show up at all)? That one. As ManSedan said, your three totally custom playlists (New, Chill, Favorites) are directly affected by your hearts and listening history, but the recommended albums and playlists are just recommendations based on your likes and some special sauce. Boris Galerkin posted:Unfortunately saying “hey Siri i like this song” to a song that she plays from “hey Siri play some music” doesn’t heart the song, only stars it The custom station's gone through a couple apparent iterations of A/B testing already, so if you don't like the way it works today... WithoutTheFezOn posted:No, not even close for me. No ones going to care about details, but I find it the worst out of everything for suggestions. Same. Spotify's recommendations for me are accurate but incredibly samey, while I don't know what in the literal gently caress GPM is doing behind the scenes to give me — or my partner, who has used nothing but GPM for 5+ years at this point — the terrible recommendations it does.

Boris Galerkin posted:Okay that makes sense and all but what is the difference between Everything is tuned to your hearts/don't likes. "siri play some music" Radio station - algorithm, theoretically infinite. probably analogous to 'your favorites mix' genre radio stations (e.g. rock station, classical station, etc.) - curated. probably finite but with a really long play list artist based radio station - algorithm. I personally find these will loop around. you can do "play more/less like this" like pandora, but I'd bet rating the songs with hearts is a stronger feedback mechanism. Your [new music/chill/favorites] mix: algorithmic playlist. obviously finite, but respawns weekly. "For You" tab: algorithm. Daily. Suggests stuff to you that you might like, including curated playlists from AM staff. curated playlists - whatever the apple music staff feels like.

This makes it hard to play music that isn't on the iTunes store, but I get around that by syncing a single playlist with iTunes and then shuffling those songs into my main playlists.

Yeah, I really wish I didn’t have to use iTunes for poo poo like creating smart playlists or editing metadata. There’s no reason that stuff couldn’t be accomplished entirely within Music.app. I guess they don’t want to “overcomplicate” things but it’s not like Apple Music is a shining example of frictionless UX as it is.

Man, another thing that grinds my gears about the Apple Radio, is that if you dislike a song, that doesn't mean it will take it out of the play rotation. I've noticed a bunch of songs I've disliked that keep popping up again later. I don't understand the logic behind that whatsoever.
