iPhone X Why can’t you turn WiFi/Bluetooth off from control center anymore?

[MrRabuf]

Where are these people that they have WiFi access 75% of the day??

Home and work covers most of it.

I've never had any real battery drain from leaving both on continuously - I'm often at 80-85% battery on a non-plus/max phone at the end of the day, 17 hours after taking it off the charger.

Just curious, what phone are you using to get such good battery life? I’ve been on a 7 for two years and just got the battery replaced. When my 7 was new and as well as now with the new battery, I’ve never had it drain only 20% over 17 hours. Are you just not using it that much? Even with my new battery, I’m already down to about 75% by the end of my lunch run (I use my Garmin watch for tracking, not my phone).

Between home and work I have Wi-Fi 90% of the day, and on weekends I'm generally at home as well. I don't see why this is such a big deal to you. "Hey Siri, turn off Wi-Fi."

Where are these people that they have WiFi access 75% of the day?? Regardless, giving us the ability to completely turn it off wouldn’t negatively impact those who want to leave it on so why screw us over? And your limited sampling is not necessarily the majority, as seen in this thread there are almost an equal number of people who like and dislike it.

1) See above. I’m in WiFi more than 85% of my day nowadays.
2) Are you really saying you’re screwed over because you have to go into settings and turn off WiFi? First world problems I guess.

Yep he has to perform 3 steps to turn off wifi now instead of 2.

It’s actually a pretty big inconvenience, you can literally open control center from anywhere, you have to go back to home screen to open settings and it’s just a lot clunkier. It’s 4 steps most of the time. There is a large percentage of people who were frustrated by this unnecessary change.

Exactly zero people want this function but they went ahead & did it anyway.

I want this function. Occasionally my home wifi craps out or if I’m sat on my drive putting directions in to my phone it’s painfully slow due to distance so I switch it off to use my data, in the past I used to forget to turn it back on. This feature is way more helpful for me than a full turn off that I would never actually use.

Well, it's exactly the opposite of exactly.

If you look through the 2 links you posted to the original threads of when the change was first implemented I think you’ll find quite a few people were unhappy with it.

Sure and then I kept using it and realized it had no negative impact on my battery life.

How does that change what I mentioned?

(Not to mention that this has already been hashed and rehashed many times over the years and at this point, if not even a year or more ago, most have moved on.)

 

[TH55]

I think you'll find yourself in the minority. Most people don't go around constantly toggling wifi on and off all day long. Same for Bluetooth.

I've never had any real battery drain from leaving both on continuously - I'm often at 80-85% battery on a non-plus/max phone at the end of the day, 17 hours after taking it off the charger.

So the millions of people who don’t work office jobs are stuck with a useless feature?

After many discussions and rehashing of the same things that have already happened about it all, and after some years that have passed, the vast majority have moved on some time ago.

Yeah, really annoying. It makes no sense at all.
