Not all changes are always for the better. Is there anything that you liked and is now gone?
I have no idea which IOS version this was but, I miss the 3D Touch.
I remember using it a lot back when it was still available.
As far as I know, if you have an iPhone X or older, 3D Touch is still supported on current software.
I’m pretty sure they removed it even on the devices that had it. The watch definitely lost it. But I might be misremembering.
3D Touch is still working on my XS Max.
I’m gonna sorely miss it when I upgrade.
The con of Force Touch is when using gloves, you need to press harder to trigger opening apps and that triggered the menu instead. The other Force Touch I loved was hard press on the keyboard would enable moving the cursor around. But you can do that by long pressing the space bar. No significant loss in my opinion.
I had an iPhone X up until this summer and it still had Force Touch.
It was on the iPhone 6s to iPhone Xs
What was that?
I don’t know if you’ve tried it yet, but setting the “Haptic Touch” option to “Fast” gets you a bit closer to what you could do with 3D touch.
It’s under Accessibility -> Touch -> Haptic Touch
Personally I like it better vs the default setting.
3D Touch. I used it all the time
Physical Home Buttons - my iPad still has one and I love it compared to the swipe up gesture
I liked 3D Touch, but I’m really glad we moved on from a physical home button. For one things like the app switcher feel so much faster and more fluent with the swiping. And for another I always feared the home button would break, no matter how well built.
Nah, its all about the button. Over my cold, dead, thumb ;)
I dearly miss the precision video scrubbing from iOS 16 and I have no clue why they removed it. It was absolutely amazing and it’s now just replaced by… nothing. I miss it every day.
The music app has gone downhill and been badly degraded ever since ohhh IOS 10? When they moved to streaming services they prioritized that and removed clear ratings, access on Home Screen to volume and progress of currently playing song and many other things.
I miss the easily accessible album view. Back in the day you could tap to ‘flip’ the cover. Now it’s hidden in a three-dot menu item.
Not iOS , but on MacOS, I hate window design in recent versions. The old versions had a clear distinction between single contents and the great/darker ‘chrome’ that made up the window header and toolbar.
These days everything is a blinding white (in daylight mode) both virtually no contrast between the two.
With multiple overlapping windows it is a complete pain to use. Loads of times I’ve gone yo grab the top of a window, only to hit the window behind and above.
Form over function.
I didn’t realise how bad it was until I used my wife’s old Mac running an old version of the OS and everything was just easier
