I unfortunately know freaks like these, and as expected they’re the biggest saddest losers out there, only happy if they can ruin other people’s days and lives
I agree. Luckily the iOS 18 one is a little better.
It’s not differentl. It’s the same as iOS17.
Why it’s terrible.
What are the “2 all-day events”?
Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.
why are there 3 more events if half of the widget is wasted white space.
Edit: I’m familiar with the widget. I don’t need someone explaining to me how to click on a widget. I get it. I also understand it’s different than the one I posted. It’s called “Up Next”.
Despite which one you pick, they’re all poorly designed. It takes up a third of the screen and does a bad job at presenting as much information as possible within reason.
Edit 2: That specific calendar widget you posted from ios18 beta looks exactly the same as it does in ios17. This thread is pointless.
Tap on it to find out (if this wasn’t an image). I assume there’s a fixed one row of space for an all-day event there. That’s definitely on purpose, considering they even have a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events. Sure, it could be two or up to two elements but that comes at the cost of the detail on the timeline below. They probably considered the timeline to be more important because that changes more often as opposed to the all-day events that only change once per day, and that as a consequence you’re going to check the all-day events once per day (or even just the day before), so you can just tap the widget if you want to see them.
It would be great if it was more customizable in terms of the layout of course, but this is Apple we’re talking about. I’m honestly surprised there’s a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events in the first place.
Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.
This one’s a timeline, not a list of events unlike the one in your post, and in that time (8-12 today) there are no events, so it’s blank. It’s as much wasted white space as the full calendar view with no events in it.
Personally I have no problem with the calendar widget, but I have to say collapsing today’s all-day events in the list view as in the OP if there’s space left is questionable at best.
Having left the platform for 5 years and migrated to Android, been considering migrating back due to Android not showing a promising future.
Playing with iOS again to see if I can tolerate it, it feels like everything is giant font giant icon Duplo Brick UI. Which could very well be why they’re so terrible at space management. Do they realize some people have eyesight? That widget has a terrible amount of wasted space, but then so does most of the OS.
It’s not new either. I worked with a guy like ten years ago or something who also bred dogs and he was very antivax for his dogs. I never asked about it so I have no idea if it was just his dogs or if he was fully antivax.
On a related note, we have “no swimming, alligators hang here” signs in NW Florida. Don’t care, not worried. OTOH, “CROCS you say?!” One of these things is not like the other.
