I’ve been using iOS devices for years and getting what I want when I swipe down is a constant roll of the dice. Did I do it in the ambiguous zone for the control center or did I do it where I’ll get recent notifications? Oh wait if I’m on my phone instead of my tablet I need to swipe up for the control center. Why it needs to be different on the tablets I’ve never really known, it used to be from the bottom and it was really nice for it to be consistent. Maddening.
- dagmx 4y agoWhat are you talking about? iPad uses the same activation area as iPhone. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT210974 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT210974 It is consistent.
- dan-robertson 4y agoPhones with home buttons have the control centre in the same place it always was, at the bottom. Only the newer notch-style phones have it on the top-right.
- hackmiester 4y agoI have always thought this was weird, but for what it’s worth, it works the same way on the tablets (if it has a home button, swipe from the bottom, otherwise, swipe from the top right).
- egypturnash 4y agoNope. The iPad Air 2 I’m typing this on has a home button but makes me swipe from the top right for the control panel. And yes it is fairly up to date, it’s on 15.6.1. It’ll probably change in a few years again. Except it won’t for some devices.
- hackmiester 4y agowhat!??!!??! Well there goes that theory.
- sbuk 4y agoThey actually denied this when the X was released. It make total sense in the context of not having a hardware button. It reduces false triggers.
- egypturnash 4y agoIt is not. My iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6s are both running 15.6.1. I have to swipe down for the control center on the tablet, and up for the phone. Some are saying they see a pattern of “if it has a home button you swipe up, otherwise down” but both of these iThings have a home button.
