One thing I noticed about "On my iPhone/iPad" is that you can't save files to the main level, and you can't create or rename folders. You can only put things in a folder for an existing app.

For example, I wanted to save some web images to "On my iPhone/iPad", but I had to choose an existing app's folder (I chose "Pages") to drop those files into. It is a new folder, not the same "Pages" folder that is on my iCloud Drive.

I hope Apple will create an update for iOS 11 that will allow users to put files into "On my iPhone/iPad" at the top level, or to create and name their own folders.

That won't happen. There is no centralized document repository in iOS as one of its main differences from desktop operating systems. in iOS only apps have document repositories. If you need a centralized document repository in iOS then this is the iCloud Drive.

Never say "never". All Apple would have to do is allow Files.app the same privileges to store files locally as any other app that currently does. They should move in this direction. Constantly re-downloading files (often at great expense over LTE) keeps iPad from being a pro level laptop replacement. 

The operating system is not built that way. What you request is the complete re-write of the operating system, you just want another Windows CE. That won't happen. Why would you constantly re-download files from iCloud Drive? Store them in the app repositories. There is a lot of file storage utilities in iOS each with their own repositories, use those to store files locally. If you are a "pro" you should have already mastered all those file storage utilities. This is a trivial issue you're lamenting about.

Do not agree for one second. 
An operating system with out a ‘CORE’ , consistant user managable files sys  is handicaped and inefficient for asset intensive work. 
Pros like to spend their time creating.. not jumping between inconsistent  file management apps and the convoluted mish mash to get things done.
‘iOS is handicaped and not buit that way? .. fine... fix it... then advertize iPads on ios a Pro device. 

‘Files’ is a clear admission on Apple’s  end that a centralized file management sys is important... but yet they have handicaped it for business reasons( imo)
Not cool

I hope whats called the 7s will have some design change.. otherwise its going to be 4 years with identical design... too boring and monotonous..
 

Your opinion is at odds with the phone-buying public -- who have made the 7 the most popular iPhone yet. This despite the tech media and web complainers. No one cares about artificial criticisms like it using a familiar design. That's as silly to normal people as me complaining that the new Pioneer receivers look just like my 6-year-old receiver. Uh yeah, it's a home receiver -- black boxy thing that does a job...what is it supposed to look like, a triangle!? Same nonsense about the phone's visual design. 

Yup.. design on a personal product carried around with u is completely irrelevant and a none issue.  Why even worry about industrial design.. change and freshness.. its only been 4 years. 

your comment is so detached from what Apple actually stands for. Or rather say used to stand for. 

But hey to each his/her own.

Nope, it’s you who is detached from reality. That’s why it’s only online techies who have issues with the decisions Apple makes — because Apple isn’t designing for techies or edge cases, it’s making real products for the masses. In real life, nobody cares about a similar shell design. Cars are pretty personal, right? Yet the Porsche 911 maintained a very similar design for decades. A good one. Same thing. 

How it works is a big part of what design means to Apple, not just how it looks. Apple execs have said this over and over, yet you want change for changes sake — exactly what Ive said he doesn’t do. Sounds like it’s you who doesn’t get apple. 

u seem angry... no reason to.. im made my opinion.. why u attack i have no clue.

That said  i think you just dont get it... it will be a 4 year old design if they dont change something, ... it is getting boring... specially that there are so many out there,  3 years worth...
Its constantly seen everywhere... its loosing its luster and excitement.. 
 Plus i did not say redesign .. i said some design change. To freshen it up.
Your beloved 911 has gone through huge EVOLUTION  in design.. from size to looks to weight to performance..
put pic side by side and you will see.

PS ... i dont have any clue how u know what my background and credentials are.. unless you have magical powers.
but a simpler answer may be ..you are too uptight, and assume too much.  Loving Apple is one thing.. being  a fanatic is another. 
My 2 cents. 

Fix the remote.. zero ergonomic considerations as is..... No one at Apple is aware of this? .....Yet everyone who ownes one can immediately see how poorly thoughtout it is ! And fix the shallow, messy and fragmented UI !...... no centralization of favorits.. ... no cool discovery methods... no notifications for new favorite content.......no consistent UI, each app is in its own universe! Terrible use of screen real estate... the list goes on.. Whats up with these half baked products Apple... ( the list does not stop at appletv)..
