but now that there's no home button swiping up like that just minimizes whatever app you have open, & pulling longer & higher on the swipe opens what used to be the double click view of all open apps

I find the button presses to be far faster & more intuitive, this is a huge step backwards.

There is a virtual button that you can make appear on screen & drag around where you want at any time

Tapping it doesn't close apps but does open a menu with access to the Control Center that you used to have to swipe up from the bottom to access,

There is no physical home button on the phones anymore, there's also no proper rim on the screen either, opting to have what's onscreen wrap around the selfie cam on either side instead of just having a solid black bar up top there; Apple wanted to maximize screen space at the price of layout ig

I have one that allows for both simultaneously but it's horrible despite being the "best solution"

The long cable between the brick & plug-in point wears out super easily

ALSO, in the settings where you can control how long before the phone locks itself, the only options are 30 seconds, 1 min, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes, or Never

Why can't we just set it ourselves the same way we can set a timer? I can't set it for 10 minutes? It's 5 or Never?

Ridiculous
