What's up with the absolutely MASSIVE title text at the top of every single app?? Looks horrible.
It's especially annoying that there was no good reason to remove it on devices that already had it. I don't know if they took it out because it didn't work on the new X or what, but dang. Feels like a significant UX hobbling to me.
I've installed iOS 11 on my iPhone and iPad and one thing I've been disappointed with is third-party integration on the Files app. From everything I've read before installing iOS 11 I've got the impression there would be true integration, as in, the files from the provider would appear inside the interface of the Files app in the same way; however, what I see is that, when I select for example Dropbox in the Files ap…
Dropbox has an update coming soon that I believe will make it do what you're looking for. Edit: Maybe? Discussion on the topic here: https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/91008319169595392...

I do it a couple of times every day. As for the quick access you can customize control center in the Settings app. It doesn't make much sense to me that you can't access that customization directly from control center, but Apple works in mysterious ways.
I think I misunderstood. I thought you were saying there was a way to add a link to the settings app to the control center. In other words, having a button in control center to open settings. I go there enough I wish there was a fast access to it.
But in the second part I meant accessing the settings of control center particularly.
I always see a lot of flak around space on iOS upgrades. I seem to always have a ton of space. I never delete iMessages, I take a fair amount of photos (16GB) and I have about 10GB of podcasts and 3GB of Spotify tracks... What generally burns up people's space on their iPhones? Am I just not taking enough photos?!
I think iMessage is the worst offender for most (at least it is for me). Every video or photo I receive eats up space until I remove it or it gets removed in 1 year. Also, the base model only came with 16 GB for a long time, which I imagine most people didn't upgrade.

> 32 bit apps don't run natively on the new ARM chips. Which is not my issue, have you considered reading my comments? Here, let me make it easy for you: > the problem is that you can't play phone games from 2009 on your 2013~2016 iPhone which had been able to run them right until you updated iOS. > Apple was able to reduce the size of iOS by not having 32 bit support libraries in memory. Is that why capacity availab…
All of the 64 bit programs can share the same 64 bit libraries. Once you load one 32 bit app it going to take up memory causing the 64 bit programs to killed. There is always a performance hit going from 32 bit to 64 bit processes. There is a hit to performance when running both 64 bit and 32 bit processes on Windows. Why take the hit to support some old 32 bit apps that probably haven't been updated to take advantag…
I guess knowing my RAM is unused helps me feel better while I'm wondering which files I've lost to the forever locked away 32bit app containers.
Review is not thorough. One huge change in the control center is that the wifi “toggle” doesn’t toggle wifi off anymore (wait what?). It just disconnects from the current network and doesn’t reconnect for a minute or so. If you don’t want to be tracked by wifi APs it seems you have to force touch settings into wifi and disable the adapter from there. Huge step backwards IMHO.
Eh it sounds to me that this is a great quick fix for the "I'm slightly too far from the AP to have bandwidth but I'm still maintaining a connection" problem I have almost daily. Will make an obscure security concern you've identified slightly more difficult to deal with. If you don't prefer trade offs like this, Apple likely isn't the best digital provider for you.

> apps which were replaced by a successor Hello, Omnigraffle. I bought this on iPad, used this something like, three times before having a need to use it over a year later and "Sorry! There is a new version to buy and your version is no longer supported, or runs!". It wasn't cheap, as apps go. Never, ever buying anything from Omni, ever again. Edit: To add details, I bought this for £35 on iOS 7. When iOS 8 came arou…
Similar with Tweetbot, which seems to release a new version as a separate app every couple years or so? The version I reluctantly bought (knowing they do this) is no longer updated but had long-standing bugs even when it was being actively developed. The experience makes me reluctant to buy any apps at all on App Store, tbh.

I find it hilarious that every time Apple does anything like this, people complain and Apple still sets record sales. You're fundamentally wrong and Apple knows it. They can rip the headphone jack out. They can deprecate 32 bit apps. They can remove TouchID. They can block installing third party apps. Keep complaining; neither they nor their customers care.
> Keep complaining; neither they nor their customers care. Apple has reversed several business decisions. Error 53, in app purchase gouging through developer fees, allowing apps instead of web apps (after realizing the iphone was pretty useless without apps), allowing bitcoin apps, etc etc. >I find it hilarious that every time Apple does anything like this, people complain and Apple still sets record sales.
