Q: When do we get Smart Playlists in iOS??
My new iPhone 7 Plus has 128GB of storage, so I can finally put most of my music collection (~32GB) on the phone. But one thing I still have to sync from iTunes on my Mac, is a smart playlist which gives me a bunch of songs sorted by Least Recently Played -- lets me hear stuff I haven't heard in a while. Music I play from this list gets dropped from the playlist as soon as I play it because, duh, I just played it, and another tune I haven't heard recently takes it's place in the playlist.
This smart playlist has always been transferred to my phone as a regular, static playlist. I've always assumed this was because iPhone/iOS didn't have the power to calculate and update smart playlists. Surely, with the latest phones with A10 Fusion processors and scads of memory and storage, that time has now passed. When can we have Smart Playlists on iOS???
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.0.2
