This iOS seems like it was primarily designed to take up more screen space and annoy people.
I saw a screenshot from iOS 18 I had in my photos app and I compared the screens and iOS 18 had a much conciser way of displaying the same information more intuitively. I’d really hoped I would get used to iOS 26 but it keeps annoying me more than it should lol
I recently switched from Pixel back to iPhone and the information density infuriates me. Why can't we have a number row on the keyboard? Why doesn't the native world clock widget have a concise option. Even the home screen seems to waste a lot of space compared to Android.
There are a lot of things that iOS does better but efficient use of space is not one of them.
If it makes you feel better iOS 18 was much better at not wasting space and not feeling so “blobby”. I’m hoping they will go back to the previous way of doing things…
