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>
