Well lion brings a few valid complaints. Now if we are to have a meaningful conversation I would avoid getting distracted on who the OP is (LionTeeth) and instead try to understand what are the concerns he brings.
- iOS 18 is glitchy and crashes frequently.
- The Photos app has a confusing design with random button placements.
- Touchscreen responsiveness is poor, often failing to register touches.
- The new Control Center is overly complicated with multiple pages.
- Navigation within the Control Center is cumbersome and unintuitive.
- The overall user experience feels disjointed and lacks cohesion.
- The operating system causes the device to overheat during gaming.
- The posters like the simplicity and design of older iOS versions.
These points and others are reiterated by multiple other users on the forum. Some users even downgraded. I would be cautious about upgrading myself given these issues so yes this deserves HN.
*edit: format bullet list
- ksec 2y agoBasically iOS have become more Android like over the years. This may have helped Apple to gain more users coming from Android. But it is definitely not the old iOS vibe in terms of simplicity. Since the beginning I have always used an analogy, Android is when Google try to bring a PC into a smaller touch screen. iOS is Apple making a Smartphone appliance with some PC like functionality. And they are now converging in the middle. I really like the old iOS design philosophy. All the way back to skeuomorphic style.
