I am very disappointed with the Control Center update in iOS 11. I was hoping to be able to REMOVE settings that I don't frequently change, and don't want to accidentally touch. Instead, I'm still stuck with wifi, bluetooth, do not disturb, airplane mode, and so forth in my control center. But hey, at least we can ADD a bunch more stuff to the already cluttered interface.
Come on, Apple... I just want quick access to utilities like the flashlight and calculator.
Also, who thought it would be a great idea to make the notifications screen look identical to the lock screen? That's a terrible UI choice. It looks like you've accidentally locked your phone every time you swipe down to get to the notifications.
