Care to elaborate?
What extra steps and poor user experience. Bugs, bugs bugs...well okay they've existed since ios 1. Slower performance since what? Seems the same on my 6s. As does the battery life. You think all apple has been doing since ios 7 has been new emojis?
Let me elaborate since you asked.
I used to be able to control the audio from control centre with one swipe, now in order to access it I need to swipe an extra time. Now if I need to access the other shortcuts from control centre I need to swipe back since it keeps the audio tile in memory when swiping up.
I'm not the kind of person who remembers what the date is and I often need to see the date while using an app, specifically when I take notes. I used to be able to do that by just swiping down but now that gesture is locked to displaying the notification centre so I need to additionally swipe left and then down again to see the date in Today view.
Turning off the alarm was one gesture (swipe right) , now it's basically 3, swipe down the notification tile, tap Close then tap Close again since it never closes on the first tap.
The new lock screen experience is debatable but I can certainly say that it added absolutely nothing to my experience, in fact all I can think is that I surely have to use to Home button a lot more.
The added 3D touch functionality is a welcome addition, I can't stress out enough how much I prefer interacting with notifications without having to open the app, only problem is that more often than not you will be asked to unlock your phone and be redirected to the app.
I can overlook all of the above, they are just minor nuisances compared to the 2 major bugs I've been facing.
1. The phone app will freeze, will crash, will drop calls at least once a day. I've checked with other users who face the same issue. Seriously now, we're talking about the
phone app in i
Phone. The one thing you are not allowed to mess up. Despite having reported the bug, despite having made sure that I'm not the only one who is getting ever since iOS 10, I see that Apple much rathers introducing the avocado emoji and the "cool" balloon effects in the message app rather than have the most important app fixed.
2. The audio gets disabled. This is another bug since iOS 10 that I've seen other users complaining about. The audio output goes completely mute at random times until I hard reset the device. Another perfect way of missing calls.
I could go on about my disappointment with Apple and how much they fail to deliver a "premium product" for years now but they sure as hell won't neglect to charge for premium.
P.S. Extra bug that doubles as a tip if you wanna drain your battery in a few minutes or if you wanna revenge someone you don't like. Add many alarms on the Clock app. Ask Siri to enable them all. Watch your battery draining in no time as Siri gets lost in an endless loop.
(it stays off for a minute or two if the phone is sleeping, and then toggles itself back on).
