[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1771820, member: 38864"] I've generally been satisfied with each iOS release. Even iOS 7, which I was prepared to hate because all the pundits said I would, I liked instantly, even though I had a couple reservations (mostly the font choice, IIRC). iOS 11 is the first time I've felt let down. I outright hate it for the most part. There's very little that I've seen that truly makes it more usable. Spotlight has been severely neutered. I've always used it to launch apps by typing a partial name, but now you have to have "Siri Search and Suggestions" enabled individually for each app, or it only appears in Spotlight after typing the entire name. This is absurd. I don't want every app's contents fully indexed and searched anytime I use Spotlight. And Control Center... I like some of the changes but you can't customize it enough. There was a 3rd party tool I used to use when I jailbroke my iPhones that let you customize the list of toggle-able settings. What they have here is a half-baked response to that. Swiping down doesn't give me my widgets right away... you now get the lock screen (which isn't even locked), which then requires another swipe to get the notifications. What craziness is this? And yes, the App Store. They actually made it worse. I'm afraid to "upgrade" to High Sierra on my iMac when that drops if this is any indication of what's to come. [/QUOTE]
