That would be fine if they allocated space for more buttons in the control center. As it is right now no matter how much smarter they make it there are only two scenes slots it can work with, so (at least for my needs) it wouldn't be enough.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 17 Rumored to Feature 'Major' Changes to iPhone's Control Center

Airplane mode remembers whether you want wifi or bluetooth on or off when Airplane mode is enabled.
For example, if you turn on Airplane mode then turn on wifi or bluetooth, those settings will remain on the next time you enable Airplane mode.
If you turn on Airplane mode then turn off wifi or bluetooth, those settings will turn off the next time you enable Airplane mode.
This is an awesome feature, but I’m surprised Apple did this because it’s quite unintuitive which goes against Apple’s ethos.
Whatever the change is I'm sure it will require two steps to accomplish the same thing you can do now with one.
That may be how they're designed. It ain't how they work, in practice, however!
Sounds like you're not using scenes correctly. Scenes are not groups.
Add silence unknown callers toggle to the control center. It’s too hidden in settings to turn it off when expecting a call outside your contacts.
Or even accidentally do it and not realize they had done it to begin with, since there's no confirmation dialogue. I remember I was surprised to find out both Windows 10 and 11 by default immediately send files to the Recycling bin when you press the delete key--no confirmation dialogue (you have to enable that in the Recycle Bin properties). That's even worse! Very bad UI decision, imo.
10 years and iOS still looks the ruff same, they are so worried to change things, im so bored of the Home Screen look
It's not an opinion. At all. They shouldn't be turned off. Period. There are niche rare circumstances for when turning them off would be necessary, and all of those are satisfied by turning them off for the rest of the day.
What’s with those people wanting it to be swipe from the bottom?
It was ALREADY swipe from the bottom. The reason Apple moved it to the top is them ditching the home button on iPhones starting with iPhone X. Without a home button there needed to be a way the user can get to the Home Screen. So they made swiping from the bottom takes you to the home screen and moved the control center to the top right.

Which is yet another reminder that phones are too big.
Wholeheartedly agree.
Please make the airport, cellular, WiFi be just toggles again or include turn off completely a sub-menu option. Or more importantly add them as options to focus modes.
This assumption that everyone wants WiFi on all the time is false. Why do I have to set up shortcuts to basically turn off WiFi when I leave home (and even that won’t run without confirmation). I have reason to do so; so please don’t force me into average normalcy!
This current design aesthetic is so incredibly old and stale at this point. There is nothing about it that would be change for change sake, it needs it.
I'd like to be able to add specific Shortcuts to the Control Center
Some random ideas about this:
- the new action button on the 15 Pro could be used to summon the new control center, among other things
- this is the first major iOS revamp after the release of iPhones with an always-on display, what if there's some control center functionality in the lockscreen (also: remember that all 2025 iPhones will get always-on LTPO displays, including the non-Pro iPhone 17 and 17 Plus)
- the convention of swiping down from the upper right corner is a relic of the iPhone X large-notch era (the notch defined those corner zones on its sides), by 2025 the iPhone 17 Pro will get a dynamic punch hole and those side zones won't even exist anymore
- on Plus and Max phones the upper right corner is hard to reach with one hand, yet another reason to gradually break this convention (first as an opt-in alternative in 2023, then kill it on the iPhone 17 Pro in 2025, just like the iPhone X killed the previous swipe-from-the-bottom convention in 2017)
- we need a quick way to use the iPhone as a keyboard/remote/controller for the new mixed reality experience, the new control center could somehow be involved in this (and also improve on the tvOS remote experience)
- some changes in the control center could be related to Apple's future expansion in the smart home

5 steps to replace a single toggle. Please give me back the simple toggle.
I'd like it if the volume button could take me to a single screen where I could view and change ANY volume setting. I've been using iPhones for 12 years, and I still can't figure out the six different kinds of audio volumes. Argh!!

How do the various iPhone volume controls… - Apple Community
I have several themes controlling things in my home that trigger automatically and a few that I use manually when I need to have specific lightning/accessories powered on. For example, I have a cooking scene that toggles on a few lights, starts some air vents, and adjusts the thermostat.
What would you suggest that I use to toggle several devices at once?

Wish Apple would have a setting where by it wasn't possible to swipe left and activate the camera. Boils my p**s everytime I do it. Seems unnecessary when there is a camera button on the bottom right of the screen.
I'm wondering if the changes might instead (or also) be about the changes to the hardware, with rumoured solid-state buttons being added… If one of those is an 'Action' button like on Watch Ultra, perhaps it will default to/be configurable to activating Control Centre.
Even better would be to add an option to allow unknown caller for X hours/days.
