I think if the iPhone software updates were mainly emoji enhancements and didn’t address a lot of important bugs/ features, a lot of people would be mad. If you want to be taken seriously, when you hype your updates, they should be addressing more of the important features than fluff.
There are so many features (many safety related) that are still missing. Blind spot monitoring still sucks (there are some simple things that can still be done to fix improve this), wiper and fan speed control still requires fiddling with the touchscreen, auto wipers still are not great, phantom alerts / breaking is still going on a lot, there are still no improvements in voice commands despite Elon saying they were coming over a year ago, and more. I’d be hyped for any of those fixes.
