The new control center is atrocious - terrible UI, not space efficient, and the grouping of things is illogical. Forcing people to use 3D touch and adding unnecessary steps to complicate workflows isn't my idea of a refinement. It looks very ugly in my opinion. The customization aspect is welcome, but no idea why the list of options exists the way it is - if it were truly customizable, there should have been more granular control on the list of toggles and tasks.
I so agree with you there. Is horrible.
Design is bad indeed and takes up so much screen space. It's partly customisable. I also don't like it that you can select third party apps or third party quick actions to be there. I will currently stick to my third party
Launcher/Magic Launcher widget in the Notification Center although were asked to remove it a few months ago but luckely the existing URL schemes for Settings still work (or at least in iOS10 with these third party widgets).
Indeed I would rather see also the option to adjust the size of the CC quick actions and to be them all pretty much the same size or at least give us the customisation what we would like to see in CC right away (e.g. wifi name, bluetooth device name, current music track).
Also what I don't get is why you can't see instantly your current wifi name or bluetooth device(s). I also wonder what happens if you click on it if it switches to WIFI Settings and the different WIFI/Bluetooth connections that are available. I don't own 3D Touch devices so I want to see things instantly.
Maybe Apple is seeding the ground and planning to open up control centre to third party apps in iOS 12? I would love to be able to launch PCalc instead of the stock calculator app.
I sure hope not. I really expected to finally see (third party) apps and their URL scheme actions in CC as well. I'm already waiting for such a feature ever since iOS8 when I started using the
Launcher widget in the Notification Center to compensate for this.
