Can’t wait for some Mac rumours readers to get upset about adding choice.

This absolutely sucks!

Now when I look through my boyfriend’s phone it is going to take FOREVER to find the Tinder app! I might not even be able to find it in time!

Apple is going to make relationships so unsafe with this change! Why do they hate women!?!?

Thanks for your input, Tim!

Thats what 10 billion dollars buys you these days,..fancy icons. Is this a slight of hand or switcharoo? Forget our troubles and look over here!

While app icons will likely remain locked to an invisible grid system on the Home Screen, to ensure there is some uniformity....
So no arranging by, umm...

I find it rather humorous with each update iOS comes closer to being like Android yet you’ll readily find people exclaim “if you want something like android then get an android phone” meanwhile iOS steadily draws closer to the customizability and flexibility that android offers.
 
With any luck this will be a bit less like hurling a bowling ball through your home screen and hoping your icons end up somewhere in the vicinity of where you wanted them. But I fully expect whatever they do to make it ten times worse.

I have been waiting for this for sooo long. I just want to put my icons on the bottom! Honestly between this and USB-C and the always-on display in my iPhone 15 Pro, Apple is giving me everything I’ve been wanting in the iPhone.

Woooow, what an achievement Apple. :) I have recently upgraded from iOS 13 to iOS17 and apart from having the search feature more accessible, I have not perceived any notable improvement that would make things easier for me.

However, one thing I have noticed is that the battery drains a lot quicker now, hardly lasting a whole day without using it much. I thought that was an issue that Apple was accused of doing on purpose and then subsequently got fined for doing so. It looks like, they are still doing it to have users buy a new iphone.

If it wasn't for the lack of support for iOS13 of some of the apps I use, I would have stayed on iOS13.

I really wish they would focus on the fundamentals again. Currently the worst experience is how typing text works, autocorrect getting in the way of moving the cursor where I want it to be, not being able to select text that is beyond the visible screen, still no proper auto correct. Moving the cursor swiping over the keyboard. Why didn't they just copy what the jailbreak community came up with. So much better than what Apple has been producing in the last few years. Just overall, a clunky experience and not fun to use.

Considering that typing message is one the more common tasks on a phone, this is just poor experience.

But yes, by all means, keep focusing on features like rearranging ones apps on the home screen. That will make my day. </sarcasm out>
