I disagree, there's lots to improve on that "regular users" would notice. I went from an 11 (non pro) to a 15PM, and there's still a few major gripes I'd like to see fixed that haven't been addressed in the 16, but would benefit regular users if improved: - I wish my phone was easier to unlock when outside in the bright sun and wearing glasses. I often have to take them off or try again, or put in a passcode. - I'd like the screen to not dim after a few minutes outside in the sun. - I wish my phone charged faster, especially for moments where I'm like "Oh crap, my uber will be here in 5m and I forgot to charge my phone" - I wish my safari tabs didn't attempt to reload at the most inopportune times (or ever like my Macbook). This is a very real scenario I run into often when in the subway with no cell/wifi, and is extremely annoying. Better than my 11, but not fixed by any means. - I wish my OLED screen didn't have visible PWM at low brightness, and strained my eyes. Not everyone is sensitive to this, but some are, and I didn't have this issue with my 11. These are all regular user stories.

Have you tried playing with Reduce White Point in accessibility options? This plus the Dark Reader plugin for Safari it's a good option for late night reading.

> I wish my safari tabs didn't attempt to reload at the most inopportune times This is my absolute #1 wish for my phone. I want to load up 30 news tabs before I hop on the subway and just have them all stay loaded, instead of the most recent 4 staying loaded, while any others refresh (and fail) if I switch back to them. I absolutely want all of my tabs to have the page state cached in storage whenever I leave them and they're done loading. With the scroll position too, as I'll often be interrupted halfway through reading a long story. I don't want them to be stored ephemerally in memory. Surely it can't be so impossible to "pickle" the state of the page and then unpickle? I can totally accept it not surviving every app upgrade too. Just let me load up stories on the subway platform and read them all on my underground commute.

  The “reading list” feature in safari saves pages for offline viewing.

  Should be theoretically possible via swap. Like, my MacBook can have a thousand browser tabs open without reloading any of them, and I'm sure it doesn't all sit in physical RAM. Is your phone low on storage, or are iPhones just less swappy?
  - crazygringo 2y ago
    I don't think iPhones swap at all. They just purge the oldest-used app(s) when they need more memory. Unlike on a Mac, applications don't stay open in the background. With some exceptions for specific authorized background processes.

      Right, I know at least 3P apps get the "memory warning" and have specific rules about background execution, but wasn't sure about Safari since it's special.

Do you have one of the high wattage charging bricks? I got one from Anker and the speed at which my phone charges is absolutely insane.

This is a very real scenario I run into often when in the subway with no cell/wifi, and is extremely annoying. Surely there's An App For That / another browser that doesn't do this? (I don't own an iPhone myself so can't give any recommendations)
