I know iOS 17 was recently released, but what would you like to see in iOS 18?

I would like them to update mail, everyone knows that Apple works best with their own products, apps, etc, and obviously Mail is better integrated with the Apple ecosystem, but the app sucks.

Much of the history of GUIs can be split into two parts:

  1. Skeuomorphism (1980s–2010s)
  2. Flat design (2010s–present)

The quick shift from skeuomorphism to flat design happened in the midst of other cultural changes: the prevalence of "digital natives," specialized subnotebooks (e.g. personal organizers) being replaced by more general computers (e.g. smartphones), society becoming more digital, along with the increasing abstraction of technology over the decades. These factors generally benefit flat design, which is why I don't see it being replaced in the near future.
