Thanks for this, really. I'm holding of on upgrading now. I'm pretty sure no one at Apple has cared about user experience/usability with some parts of iOS since they went on that skeuomorphic purge way back in 7.
Got a tip for us?

Weather widget is one giant bug. Also if I put on a face mask it doesn’t show me pin code UI automatically like it did on iOS 13.

<shrug> So uninstall it. Not like it's hard. Like I said up-thread, doesn't everyone know not to install a .0?

Not the point here.
Another thing long press on FaceTime or phone app no longer gives you favourite contacts.
I’m officially speechless.
Apple: removes widgets on Mac OS.
People: good riddance, they were useless anyway.
Apple: adds widgets to iOS
People: what took you so long?

I always said they can fit another row of icons to differentiate the screen sizes. Now it’s even more obvious.
It's not massive deal breaker, but it is deflating. I see "Up Next" is gone?
I don't quite get that move what so ever, personally this is one of the most used widgets on my iPad (I look to my right, iPad is there...boom, theres the "Up Next" and whats coming) It's been extremely helpful!
IF...big if...IF Apple does read feedback here, bring it back please.

I understand that but if I have my screens organized the way I want, I don't understand the need for this SECOND set of app organization - especially with the search feature already in place
Always amusing to see these threads evolve from people whining that they cannot update to the new iOS version, to (sometimes the same) people whining about the new iOS version.
And then there are the smugmugs (like me) espousing the virtues of waiting until version XX.1 comes out. But, that would be kinda uncool to openly assert that on this thread, right?

What? You’ve got to be kidding that was a favorite quick action, they took that away?
I think some people will just find anything to complain about

No, what I meant was it was giving options to people who want to organize their apps in different ways. I for one cannot stand the organization (or lack thereof) of ios all these years. It’s so messy just throwing everything on your “desktop” basically. I like to organize things like my real desk and office. Some things stay out all the time, other things get hidden away in file cabinet drawers.
Sorry their changes don’t work for you, I suspect they will give people the option to turn it off at a future point in time. For now, maybe make a blank or one app page as a buffer of some sort so you never have to see it?

Yep. If specific functions are THAT vital, then the downgrade window back to iOS 13.7 is still open (provided that you have a backup that was done using iOS 13). Download the IPSW file that matches your device, and restore the device using recovery mode. That will setup the device as new, and then you'll need to restore the data using the backup. Any backup done using iOS 14 will not work.

How to Downgrade iOS and Keep Your Data
Regret installing an iOS update? Follow these steps to downgrade iOS and not lose any data as you turn back your iPhone to how things once were.
I did this with iOS 10 when I found out that my old iMac could no longer download the photos off the phone. I downgraded back to iOS 9, and stayed there until iOS 12 when I started using a newer computer for photo editing and archiving.
What this allows you to do is hide away the many apps that used to litter your home screen, which you can still access using app library. One cool thing I realised about app library is that I can tap directly on the app icon to launch it. It's not like a folder where I have to first tap to open the folder, then tap again on the app to launch it. The end result is that it can make your phone feel less cluttered and easier to navigate, even if you have already taken the effort to carefully organise your home screen and squirrel every app into folders to keep them all within 1-2 pages.
I am trying it and so far, I am liking it, since it is able to recommend me the apps I have using the most frequently, while hiding away the apps I don't need to open.
Any bugs surfaced yet? Is it safe to update?
Why I'm here also.
Been looking the past 24-36 hrs. I have to look at other threads...but mostly its a love / deep hate with the new UI (this App Folder especially). My personal concern as usual is battery life. So far that looks iffy on a few threads I've seen.I do know some apps are buggy because they didn't have time to update.
Right now, still debating..I may hold off on the first patch release. Maybe by Tues?? Hopefully.
Thanks for your input. Would you mind posting here again if you find any more bugs mentioned anywhere?Why I'm here also.

I saw this post a few pages back. Yeah, some of the icons showing up on iPad OS14 are out of whack, not aligned.
