One of the most common points when discussing what news Apple could bring in iOS 10 is the improved Control Center. This has made working with iPhones and iPads significantly easier since iOS 7, but at the same time, it hasn't changed much since then. At the same time, it could do much more.
The Control Center slides out from the bottom of the screen and offers quick access to various functions and applications. Here you can quickly activate airplane mode, turn on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb mode or rotation lock. You can control the music played here, turn on the camera and other applications, and now also night mode.
With a few exceptions, however, the iOS 2013 operating system was able to do exactly the same thing back in 7. Users are calling for the possibility of greater modification of the Control Center - so that they can add their own buttons to it and also change their positions.
Just such a concept has now been created by British designer Sam Beckett, who showed how the Control Center could use, for example, 3D Touch. Once you pressed Wi-Fi harder, you could directly choose which network you want to connect to, etc.
In his very successful concept, Beckett did not forget to move the icons, which many users are asking for. They would move just like desktop apps.
It is not yet clear what Apple's developers will focus on in iOS 10, which we should expect in the summer, but we can expect at least further improvements to the individual functions of the system, and the Control Center would certainly deserve a change. The design outlined by Beckett is exactly what Apple itself could do.
Being able to turn mobile data off and on would be enough for me.
:D Two data switches again :D That's really sick..
If your mobile data interferes with the room antenna at the cottage...
Because of your antenna at the cottage, Cupertino will be thinking about how to change the Control Center... :D
Of course!
I totally agree, it's not a disease. I also don't enjoy the absence of the option to put data in the bar. For example, instead of airplane mode, which I use twice a year...
Every night I…
Especially if they finally add work with groups in contacts. It's not normal... so many years...
Groups on iOS have been around for a long time, as have Mac and the web.
Well, maybe via iCloud, but I use gmail and groups in gmail contacts do not sync. I can't even find the option to create them in ios. Except through another application. I will be grateful for the advice.
I really like the concept. As others have mentioned, I lack mobile data or the hotspot that I use daily when working with a tablet. I'd like Apple to be inspired in this direction :)
It looks great! Unfortunately, I meet people every day who accidentally turn on Do Not Disturb in KC and are very surprised that no one allows them => this would probably make such a user p*** :-D
But it's true that KC introduced Apple with a lot of fanfare and nothing since. And maybe 3DT would be great to use. Apple is pushing developers to incorporate 3DT into their apps and it's on the hook :)
I think the center is good as it is. For the masses of iOS beginners, it's even completely unnecessary - because let's face it - pushing some fictitious element out of the space outside the display is not exactly the height of intuitiveness. Moving buttons or adding your own would only complicate > slow down iOS again.
I feel like I have everything I use most often in KC, and even if I would like an icon for the hotspot, I understand that there are people who don't use it as the year is long. So I'd rather make a few extra clicks than turn iOS into a system overpaid by customizations for which you need to make increasingly absurdly faster hardware, because using it on a device can be compared to driving a car with the handbrake on.
This would be great, but I'm afraid we won't get it.
I would definitely use 3D Touch there. The rest seems to me to be unnecessarily complicated and not very useful on iOS.
