iOS 17 could introduce updated Control Center, says leaker
Rumors have suggested iOS 17 will introduce several nice-to-have features, and one may be a redesigned Control Center.
Control Center on iOS
Apple updates iOS every year with new features, some big and others small, addressing bugs and improving performance. It was originally believed that iOS 17 may lean more toward more minor changes, but recent rumors point to more extensive updates.
According to a MacRumors forum member who previously shared an accurate leak about the iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island, iOS 17 will refresh the Control Center. It's part of the system that offers quick access to controls for Now Playing media, Focus Modes, HomeKit, and system controls.
The leaker didn't provide specific details of the changes, but as Control Center turns ten this year, it's possible that Apple actually plans a major overhaul for the anniversary. The company introduced Control Center in iOS 7, and the feature has mostly stayed the same since iOS 11, when it was last overhauled.
One of the biggest wishlist items for iOS is a third-party app integration and API for Control Center. Users hope Apple will allow them to change what icons and controls are present there and, perhaps, shortcuts for other apps.
Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 during WWDC in June. It could feature several user-facing changes alongside the usual bug fixes and other performance updates.

That said, I kind of worked around Apple's 'madness' by creating a couple Shortcuts I put on my Widgets screen.
But, absolutely. Focus on bug fixes. Start studying UI/UX again and do some work there.
I don't know... I wonder if most people don't just run them, and might not even realize 90% of the new features are even there.
I don't think the typical Apple user even pays attention to what is going on, like we do. And, especially on iOS, a lot of the features are hidden enough, that if you don't run across some news story, or Apple advertise them in-OS/app, it might be a long time until they are discovered.
Yes, one of the worst UI/UX moves was when interfaces went black and white. Color is a crucial component. Many apps are starting to add more color back in, thankfully!
Yep, that's what I did for years. But, finally made some Shortcuts automations. I get how it served their purposes, but really sucked for me.
