What's New in iOS 11 Beta 4: Lock Screen and Notification Center Changes, New App Icons and More

The difference in swiping motion to engage Control Centre in iOS10 vs. iOS 11 is quite literally less than one inch. If that additional movement is so burdensome, the redesign of Control Centre is the least of your worries. This complaint comes across as moaning simply for the sake of moaning.
Fine, you need to adjust brightness individually for each app–then don’t look at the other apps in Expose. For some though, being able to see how it effects other apps is a benefit. The method to adjust brightness in iOS 10 didn’t provide any additional benefit to this scenario nor does it solve your individual app brightness problem. In fact, making multiple brightness adjustments in iOS 10 actually takes more steps to complete (double click home to engage app switcher, swipe to locate app, touch app to switch, swipe up on CC, make brightness adjustment, disengage CC vs. swipe up in iOS 11, make brightness adjustment while viewing the app I’m going to switch back to, touch app to switch).
The app you were using is always positioned on the top immediate left of the Control Centre. The app utilized prior to that is always immediately below the most recent app. You’re honestly claiming that you can't remember to look in the exact same spot you’ll always need to look to locate the last app when engaging Control Centre?
And again, that app is poitioned literally an inch away from the native position of the brightness slider.I understand that you prefer the implementation in iOS 10 which is certainly fine–we are all entitled to our opinion. Your complaints though just come across as overly melodramtic.

The public beta 2 runs really hot...and battery life isn't the greatest, on my iPhone 7 plus.
Personally, before anything else is done in iOS11 I'd like NOT to have my name listed at the very top of settings! Everytime I use my phone in public and goto settings (to get a wifi access point) anyone over my shoulder sees my full name. I'd rather meeting someone first and having the choice to provide my name vs them overlooking my should to see it.
what purpose for showing someone's name at the top of settings? The owner already knows their own name and with TouchID and passwords enforced the likely hood of someone getting your phone wtihout your knowledge/permission is highly unlikely.

Here is the solution. When this happens, you just need to tap the phone number or contact name displayed on the lock screen, and you will get the call controls back.
Lol, You stayed on the SOB Trail?! On behalf of the MacAddicts here in Orlando, allow me to apologize for any/everything you experienced while "On the trail"!
I just downgraded this weekend. My iPhone 7 was running hot and I was losing battery at a fantastic rate.
I tried to move (my daily driver, I know) to 11 for the new control center and type to siri. Unfortunately, both of those features functioned better in my imagination than in practice.
Downgrading did make me miss the bolder type (my eyes are old).
I should have also read that just because it is obvious to me that the Files app needs to be able to access network files that doesn't mean that Apple thinks that would ever be important. Network file access iswhy I traded my iPad for a laptop and even after the "iPad update," that lack will keep me out of the iPad market.
any way, any change to battery or running hot on this new version for anyone?

the 'big deal" is at the very simplicity of privacy. ioS 9 and every iteration did NOT have this setting.
Why do I need to know my own name at the very top of settings where I access settings for all things iOS and the phone?
- I get it should be displayed in iCloud but it's front and center.
Who knows what could be done with my name - but therein lies the purpose. Do you want someone knowing your FULL name before meeting them first? Sorry I'm oldschool and it's weird/creepy to me without meeting a person or introduced to a person first (other than family very close friends to someone I will meet soon enough) or my employed.
I get that but in my experience the majority of people are glued to their own phone then care about what your looking at.
Just seems like paranoia to me.
Using your phone in public carries risks. My son had a picture of his appl pay screen taken while completing a transaction. I’d you don’t want anybody to see information, don’t use the phone in public ever....the screens are a treasure trove of personal information.
Also if you want to bypass that screen, 3dt settings -> wifi.
Oh, that was back in 1996. I moved to Kissimmee, off of 192 and Old Lake Wilson Rd.
I guess the old Lucent plant is still there, right?
You're right on the first count and possibly on the second, yet I'll disagree on the 2nd and say it's just peace of mind. Not that my name or being or who I am is of any significance to anyone else - my data personal belongings mean jack shot about anything ... but I like to have that personal sense respected as such. There is a fine line saying something about somebody vs printing it ... I wonder where that all began? I see it as slightly the same principle ...
You want to know who I am ... ask me, and likewise vice versa.
You want to marry a woman, of the respect to ask her mother/father for her hand in marriage (if their alive, if not visit their grave and ask them)
You want to get reference you ASK others for their permission not simply name/number drop.
Would you state these above as paranoia? how are they different? basic principles

The big deal is it's my name ... my birth-right, something my parents gave to me, just like my life (living life) and thus just as your name should be respected and pronounce properly whever you go like everyone else, it's the one thing you take wtih you EVEN after death! It's on your headstone, and remembered by your family, loved ones, and offspring.
You may not treasure your name and identity amongst strangers, but its no reason I shouldn't.
How often do you go into icloud settings once you've setup icloud on your phone? think about it, just how often?
- thus why did it need to be at the very TOP of Settings with your Name?
What is the real purpose of it being there?
Do you need to be reminded of your name, just like you need to be reminded of the carrier you're using with branding on all those other phones for the past 20yrs?
not a big deal to you but to me it's a preference I'm not happy with ... any changes I wait until I cannot have my shoulders overlooked. In the workplace EVERYONE is damn nosey ... it's the game of snakes and ladders.
Disappointing performance on my 2nd gen iPad Pro 12.9. ProMotion is severely hampered by iOS 11. Using 4 fingers to close Safari drops a lot of frames, even more so if I have Mail open side by side. Also bringing up even the multitasking screen isn’t very smooth either.
Well your iBooks scenario falls flat, as there is a brightness slider in the app (tap the big A/little a). However, regarding other apps, your scenario has merit. ;-)
