Yikes. Does this new banner at the top look any better on a bigger iPhone? On my iPhone 8 it hogs a LOT of real estate for no discernable reason...
Got a tip for us?

I noticed the same thing on my iPhone 7. My bottom row of shortcuts is partially cut off, I have to scroll up to completely see them. Why in the world did they add the top banner info to the control center screen? It's definitely a waste of real estate.
The only thing they changed was adding the battery and network info.
On iOS 13.3.1 it’s the same real-estate, at least it was for me. If you pull up really far it will cut off the same amount of space.

Right, and that’s enough to push the bottom row of icons down so they’re partially cut off. And if I “pull up really far I see this mess. Sloppy!
Ok but the UI allows the user to fill this many rows but awkwardly cuts off part of the bottom row now that that pointless banner is there. It’s very very sloppy design and just feels like a bug. Remember too, this all looked perfectly well fit until this latest addition.
Looks like it was deliberate (#9)

But it definitely feels poorly done. Once you scroll down to row 3 you can no longer just tap to dismiss the panel. You have to swipe up or scroll back.
Definitely killing my third row to fix this. And wasting like a 5th of my screen!
