Not a fan. Off is off simple as that. It’s also really confusing to have two actions one in control centre the other in settings behaving in a different way but no cue to say they do. Another “feature” irking me on iOS 11 is the disabling of flash or the flashlight/torch below 15% battery. If I want to use the torch or flash then I’ll decide if there’s enough battery left

I didn't realize the flash was disabled, that is super annoying. On the plus side, i'm extremely happy about the car bluetooth based DND mode.

Not a fan of how this was implemented either, but the cue is the descriptive text under the button. If you do toggle Bluetooth or WiFi off from the settings app, it even uses a different icon in the control center.

> If I want to use the torch or flash then I’ll decide if there’s enough battery left Lithium batteries are worn a lot by high amperage when they are already close to empty. They are protecting the battery from wearing out too fast.

  If I am in the dark, and really need to use that torch, the batteries are the least of my worries.

  "Enabling the flash below 15% charge may cause additional wear on your battery and should only be used in emergencies. Proceed?"

Alternative answer: This prevents your phone from completely dying if you turn the light on, forget, and shove it in your pocket/bag. That's a great feature in and of itself. Hell, i've accidentally triggered the flashlight outside in the sun and not noticed before i pocketed the phone before.
