@gruber I’m more irritated that Apple ripped off @herf than their mis-use of screen real estate.

@BWJones @herf Pfff. What would you have them do?

@gruber @herf Pfff nothing. Apple's implementation does effectively nothing as the defaults are ineffective. Results = neuromarketing spin.

@BWJones @gruber @herf So it’s either nonsense, or it’s not. Is the issue they implemented a bad idea, or implemented it badly?

@gruber heaven forbid there be a way to get to "settings" app

@gruber Entire control center is a mess. Left right swipe conflicts with sliders.

@gruber a theory: it’s a (comparatively) new feature, so they’re giving it the spotlight.

@mcelhearn @gruber surely could span two lines at half the width?

@ScottIsLoud @gruber Maybe in English, but you need to think of potential localization problems if you do that.

@mcelhearn @gruber good point but why provide that detail at all? DND doesn’t. Or why not hide it behind 3D Touch like everything else?

@ScottIsLoud @gruber And only a few devices have 3D touch.

@mcelhearn @gruber sure but that hasn’t stopped them from hiding a slew of control panel and other features behind it. (E.g. Flashlight)

@ScottIsLoud The flashlight isn't hidden on my iPhone SE.
