Are the audio controls gone from the control center (swipe up from the bottom of the screen) or is it just me?
I never swipe to unlock, I always used the thumb sensor, only difference now is, I actually have to press the button where as before just had to lightly hover over it. No big deal. Only thing I miss about the swipe is - and I realized it this morning at 7:15 a.m. - is that is how I'd turn off my alarm in the morning. Now I need to press the home to do it. Sidenote, I'm only texting in .gifs from now on.
took over 2 hours to download the update, so then I selected the option to have it installed overnight. Woke up to it telling me the update couldn't be installed because my passcode wasn't entered . got to work and plugged it in to charge so it could install while I opened the store, and now the update screen goes blank when I scroll down. gonna try installing via iTunes when I get home, but that won't be til late tonight. I just want to use all these fancy iMessage features :/ I have a 6 and I don't usually have to swipe from the unlock screen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mine took at least an hour to update. I ended up falling asleep before it was done, but I was waiting for awhile. I don't usually do too much on my iPhone. I text, call, browse the internet, play a couple mindless games, and have a couple simple apps. I don't feel like I'll even notice half of the things they updated. Clicking the home button to unlock my screen is probably going to be the biggest thing I need to get used to. I kinda like how you can read texts and stuff without unlocking the phone. I need to keep clicking around on things throughout my phone and see what else I like/dislike.
The iMessage update is really interesting. Kinda fun to mess around with so far. I had to turn off the predictive option though, the keyboard was feeling way too cluttered for me. Apple Music is a lot better, I think. Only real complaint is the ability to edit songs within an album. I had some duplicates and had to play them, then select Delete, which was a bit tedious. But not a huge deal. Deleting Stocks was euphoric.
The lock screen works fine on my 5S. After I first downloaded the update, I had some deja vu back to trying to load iOS 7 onto my old iPhone 4, where everything seemed slow and lagging. A quick reboot seemed to fix that though. Overall, I enjoy the new features (well, the ones available to me on my older device), but I feel like the GUI somewhat took a step back. Some things seem a bit cluttered.
This new redesigned music app is a pretty good practical joke but when are they bringing the real one back
