Ever since iOS14, Apple's given us some customization on our iPhone, but it still has a very long way to go.
For over a decade, Apple’s iPhone has largely remained the same in terms of interface and lack of customization. Though jailbreaking was a thing in the early days, the average person wouldn’t know how to do that, or even want to risk their device. If you were wanting customization on your smartphone, people would simply tell you to go to Android.
Related Changing up my app icons should not be so tedious When iOS 14 came out, I was ecstatic. Being able to have widgets on the Home screen? Finally! Having the ability to change up my app icons without jailbreaking? Cool! But after finally changing up my Home Screen from a boring stock layout and icons, I realized how much work is involved and I got too lazy to really do it again.
While we’re on the subject of the app icons, why are we also still limited to such a strict grid layout? Yes, on Android, we still have grid layouts, but we can also freely place app icons where we want them. On iOS, a space must always be filled, no matter what. There are apps and other shortcuts that can place an “invisible” app icon, but this is a workaround for a silly limitation. Why do we have to resort to such hacks in the first place? Just let us place the apps where we want.
It was great that we finally got Home screen widgets in iOS 14, but honestly, it’s very limited in terms of what you can do. Right now, it’s still just glanceable bits of information, and maybe that’s all that Apple intends them to be.
For one, the interface and user experience for it is just … not great. The process for changing up your lock screen appearance is convoluted, and the worst part? You can’t just change the lock screen directly from the lock screen without picking a new Home screen as well. In fact, the entire method of changing just your Home screen wallpaper is no longer simple and easy either — iOS 16’s lock screen customization just butchered the entire process.
