Rumor: iOS 18's Revamped Control Center Will Allow for Multiple Pages

Nothing, absolutely nothing will beat the 1st Gen Control Center of iOS7
I would prefer multiple pages, vertically or horizontally. Scrolling has no “anchors” so muscle memory works better when items stay in place.
I mean like springboard pages and App Library scrolling, where in springboard you blindly could open an app (as long as you remenber it’s place) but in App Library you would need to look to know when to stop scrolling
I was worried too until I saw it was coming from Mark Gurman. No doubt it wont be released and he will come up with an excuse about it being for next year.
Isn’t that kind of what the App Library is all about?
Apple would have never done that if Steve was still alive today. Tim Cook has really run down this company. Its time for him to go.
I don’t like the idea of multiple pages. Sounds kludgy
Can't wait for all the fanboys to lose their minds when they implement this like android hasn't had it for generations...
Can't wait until they bring back Skeumorphism since they ran out of ideas and have to go back to the well.
I would prefer pages that act as categories. E.g.: A scrollable page full of games titled “Games” and where every game you download ends up. With the possibility to customize. Clean and simple. Done.
No App Library, no sub folders.
Anything that will allow the replacement of the LSD enhanced psychedelic obscenely colored icons in iOS will be a much welcome change
App Library is even more useless.
Is dropbox under utility or productivity? I'd consider a cloud storage app as a utility, but apparently Dropbox falls under a productivity app. Meanwhile pCloud, another cloud storage app, falls under Utility, not Productivity. Who is going to understand this?
Also in Utilities, I have "FastestVPN" and "NordVPN" but in Productivity, I have "Windscribe VPN" and "VPN Unlimited".
Utilities: Authy
Productivity: Microsoft Authenticator
This is insane. Why did Apple do this, I have no idea.

there is no *memory* for that thing on page 6.
and when you add one app to page 1, page 2, 3, 4, 5 gets shifted by 1 which means 5 apps you got used to on Page X got shifted to Page X + 1
Makes sense to me. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that no one I know, knew you could long press on certain elements in the Control Center to get additional options.
Gentlemen, we've just invented the Pontiac Aztec
I just have one page of apps, if I need something else I will just use spotlight or App Library. And for the control centre, surely most of the people would have just one page or two
I hope they hard-code a camera icon on each page; it's so hard to find a way to open the camera app at the moment.
Disagree with this I’m afraid. The advantage of pages are your icons fall in the same place every time, whereas with scrolling they’re always in a different area on the screen.
if it was just two pages, scrolling makes more sense. I can get to most of the controls faster than you can swipe to page 2.
wildly untrue. when you move an app to a page that's already full, all apps get shifted by 1. what app you thought was on page 2 is now on page 3. even worse when you have a widget taking up 2 rows, creating blank spaces at times.
meanwhile an app you thought 30% of the way down is now at 32% way down. if you need visual bookmarks, add a widget so you know a travel app is next to the google maps widget.
infinitely better than pages.
